RetroArch is a frontend for emulators, game engines and media players. Among other things, it enables you to run classic games on a wide range of computers and consoles through its slick graphical interface. Settings are also unified so configuration is done once and for all.
It is very important that the following requirements are met: Ensure that you have placed the BIOS file (s) in the correct location. Usually is the system folder, which can be located in RetroArch by going to: Settings->Directory->System/BIOS (look at the right column).
There’s a working OpenGL renderer and a Direct3D11 renderer option. Direct3D 11 renderer can be faster than OpenGL but also has less features. Pick whichever works best for you. On Xbox you will only be able to use Direct3D11 anyways. This core uses the x86_64 dynarec.

Feb 11, 2025 · FinalBurn Neo (also referred to as FBNeo or FBN) is a multi-system emulator (Arcade, consoles and computers) under active development. It is the follow-up of the FinalBurn and FinalBurn Alpha emulators. The libretro core provides wide compatibility with platforms and features supported by libretro. FBNeo strives for accuracy, just like MAME.
Libretro is a simple API that allows for the creation of games and emulators. It is very simple in nature, yet very powerful. The simplicity of it all requires some explanation in order to truly grasp how useful it can be to your own projects.
The Libretro API is a lightweight C-based Application Programming Interface (API) that exposes generic audio, video, and input callbacks. There are two sides to Libretro development: frontends are programs that can run libretro-compatible cores.
