- RetroArch is the reference frontend for the libretro API. Popular
- examples of implementations for this API includes videogame system
- emulators and game engines, but also more generalized 3D programs.
- These programs are instantiated as dynamic libraries. We refer to these
- as "libretro cores".
- libretro is an API that exposes generic audio/video/input callbacks. A
- frontend for libretro (such as RetroArch) handles video output, audio
- output, input and application lifecycle. A libretro core written in
- portable C or C++ can run seamlessly on many platforms with very
- little/no porting effort.
- While RetroArch is the reference frontend for libretro, several other
- projects have used the libretro interface to include support for
- emulators and/or game engines. libretro is completely open and free for
- anyone to use.
- RetroArch will require at least one of the libretro cores to play any
- games.
- Optional dependencies:
- jack-audio-connection-kit libsixel libxkbcommon mbedtls miniupnpc
- nvidia-cg-toolkit OpenAL qt5 wayland-egl
- Note: RetroArch can optionally use wayland-protocols during the build if
- it is installed. Instead of installing wayland-egl mesa can be rebuilt
- with Wayland support, using the following configure parameters.
- --with-egl-platforms=x11,drm,wayland
- To build debugging symbols for RetroArch use:
- DEBUG=yes ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- If building debugging symbols asan can also be built:
- DEBUG=yes ASAN=yes ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- CDROM support can be enabled with:
- CDROM=yes ./RetroArch.Slackbuild
- Discord integration can be enabled with:
- DISCORD=yes ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- OpenGL 1 support can be enabled with:
- OPENGL1=yes ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- If pulseaudio is installed it can be disabled during the build with:
- PULSE=no ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- The Qt5 frontend can be disabled with:
- QT=no ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- The materialui menu driver can be disabled with:
- GLUI=no ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- The ozone menu driver can be disabled with:
- OZONE=no ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- The rgui menu driver can be disabled with:
- RGUI=no ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- The xmb menu driver can be disabled with:
- XMB=no ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- All of the menu drivers can be disabled with:
- MENU=no ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- Alternatively pulseaudio can be disabled later in RetroArch's menu.
- Retroarch optionally supports using OpenGL ES 2 and OpenGL ES 3 instead
- of OpenGL which will require video card and driver support. This can be
- done by building RetroArch with:
- GLES=yes ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- or
- GLES3=yes ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
- RetroArch optionally supports using Vulkan instead of OpenGL, this will
- require support for your video card and driver.
