It has tons of ported emulators (cores). The quality of the ports as cores varies since it is done by multiple developers so for certain systems you should stick to standalone versions until their respective cores are improves, which is a coin toss.

Things start to get "funky" for 5th gen emulators and anything past that.
I use it for msx, pce, gba, gb/gbc, n64, nds, nes, snes, master system, genesis, sega cd, ps1 and a fbneo romset. I do have some standalone alternatives just in case though.

It's nice for 5th gen and older, specially with it's controller UI and with a CRT.
Get a good controller(s) and hook up a real CRT at 240p/60Hz and you're good to go.

>but I've also heard it's basically reddit mode in that you have way less customization
It's a tweakers paradise, you can customize so much.

>and get shitty/broken emulators in the bundle
Most cores are just standalone emulators ported to libretro. You still have the same customizability as the standalone emulator, but also all the RetroArch customization, like run-ahead, super resolution on CRT, etc.

I'm starting to think 90% of people who talk about RetroArch have zero idea what it is or how it works.

I do. I mean I emulate with a controller so it makes more sense to me to open the menu and change options with the controller as well, makes it (mostly) seamless so I don't have to pick up and put down the controller every time I want to change options (which isn't often once you have it setup either way)

ffs Demul literally has no publicly available source code since years ago. And even ReDream's latest publicly available source is from 2018, after which it went closed source. I'm sure if they really wanted to, the libretro team could scrounge up whatever source is available for either one and create a core (in fact there's a largely abandoned repository for a ReDream libretro core from before it went closed), but that would be stupid. So fuck off with your bullshit.

After using it for years all the options i remember all the options that i commonly use, i move through the menus way faster than i could with a mouse. Also i think the thing that irks some people isn't even the UI itself, its the amount of options that for a newb is overwhelming, you just need to learn what stuff you are gonna use and ignore the rest.

>>8558209
fucking kek you really are something. You lecture me about reality, when the reality is there has never been an example of a closed source dev releasing a libretro core. Could they do it? Of course they could, but they won't, because there's little in it for them to do so. Closed source emulators are closed for one reason or another, usually because they stand to profit and/or because they want complete control over the project. And even when the project is open source, a lot of devs don't actually want to bother with libretro, again for one reason or another, so it has often fallen upon the libretro team to fork it themselves.

To summarize: it's very unlikely we're going to see a Demul OR ReDream libretro core any time soon. If the devs of either projects wanted it to happen, they would already have done it themselves, or at least open sourced their projects so someone who cared would do it. And that is the reality.

people use retroarch because it has features that standalones often don't support, not because it's a frontend

When other emulators start supporting runahead, VRR, HDR and shaders on the same level as retroarch then there's an actual argument to be made. As is, for cores that aren't ass (lol dolphin) I don't see any reason NOT to use retroarch, especially as someone primarily playing games on my living room OLED
