Once you downloaded RA, just extract it wherever you please, possibly in an easily accessible folder (for example, I put in D:\Apps\RetroArch). You can find the latest nightly scrolling down to the bottom of this page, or you can simply use the direct link always pointing to the latest version. It could have some bugs, but the pros are totally worth the occasional crash. This article aims to help anybody finding other guides to be unclear or simply targeted to tech-savvy users.Īlso, this guide is Windows oriented (Windows 8.1 64bit to be more precise), but other than installing and finding the correct paths, the gist of it should be the same for any other operating system.įirst thing first, we’re going to download all the software needed.Īs for RetroArch (from now on simply RA), my suggestion is to download the nightly build, which is the latest, most updated, yet to be released version. RetroArch comes bundled with dozens of emulators ready for use, therefore it is a way better choice for an EmulationStation “combo” than installing (and configuring, and learning how to use, and…) ad-hoc emulators for each system. Together, they make a great team for a television kind of setup, with clean and beautiful graphic interface, perfectly suited to be used with a controller only. RetroArch is the official front-end for Libretro, an interface that allows for the easy creation of emulators and other applications.ĮmulationStation is a graphical front-end that allows for the access of all games and emulators in one place and without a keyboard.
