I mean, you don't "need" it, no one does... but it's quicker and more convenient in every way. I always used them in standalone forms, but after giving RetroArch a shot... it's just so much easier, everything in one place, quick, easy to setup my preferences for every single console once in the same software instead of having to do it a bunch of time for standalone... it's also great if you're into shaders and/or want to experiment tons of emulators, or cores in this case, quickly, also a few very good emulators are in RetroArch only, like Genesis Plus GX Wide, which makes Genesis ROMs play in 16:9 without simply stretching it, I know many find RetroArch hard to setup or clunky, but I couldn't disagree more, you install it, download all of the cores you want right then and there, set them up in any way you wish, and then you can change controls, keys or shaders if you want, and you're good to go! It's so simple and quick, there's also a major community to help in any issues one might have. I get not liking it and/or simply preferring standalone emulators, like I did before, but I don't get the hate RetroArch often receives here, it sets out to have it all in one convenient place... and succeeds.
