RetroArch

RetroArch for Android is a flexible open-source gaming frontend designed for users who want to manage different emulation systems from one interface. Instead of installing a completely separate application for every supported platform, RetroArch works with downloadable “cores” that provide support for different systems and game engines. The Android version provides a highly customizable experience with support for touchscreen controls as well as compatible physical gamepads. Users can configure controls, video output, audio behavior and interface settings according to their device and personal preferences. RetroArch also includes useful gaming features such as save states, shaders, controller profiles and configurable input options. More experienced users can fine-tune individual cores and create different configurations for different games or systems. Because RetroArch itself does not provide commercial game libraries, users should supply their own legally obtained game content where required. Compatibility and performance can vary depending on the selected core, Android device and the content being used. For users interested in classic gaming and emulation on Android, RetroArch provides a single customizable environment capable of handling a wide range of supported systems without requiring a completely different frontend for each one.
