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 libsixel mbedtls miniupnpc nvidia-cg-toolkit
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Discord integration can be enabled with:
|
|
DISCORD=yes
|
|
|
|
Python3 support for shaders will need to be enabled with:
|
|
PYTHON=yes ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
If pulseaudio is installed it can be disabled during the build with:
|
|
PULSE=no ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
The Qt 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
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
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
|
