What Is RetroArch? RetroArch is often called an emulator, but it isn’t one. Not exactly, anyways. RetroArch functions as a hub of sort that you can use to access multiple emulators from a unified interface. Emulators within RetroArch are accessed through “Cores” which basically function as mini-emulators tailored for use within RetroArch’s interface.
