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.
|
|
|
|
To build debugging symbols for RetroArch use:
|
|
DEBUG=1 ./RetroArch.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
Some optional dependencies include:
|
|
ffmpeg jack-audio-connection-kit libxkbcommon python3 SDL2 wayland
|
|
|
|
Note: Wayland support requires mesa to be rebuilt with Wayland support,
|
|
using the following configure parameters.
|
|
|
|
--with-egl-platforms=x11,drm,wayland
|
|
|
|
RetroArch optionally supports using Vulkan instead of opengl, but
|
|
Slackware does not yet provide any Vulkan support, so providing the
|
|
correct build environment is up to you.
