RetroArch is a modular Emulation System. Basically this means:

- Functions like Video Refresh, Sound, Gamepad etc. only are implemented once,
in   the central exe
- The central exe is highly optimized, with a multithreaded Approach (often
faster than individual Emulators)
- It is much easier to port "Cores" (the Modules) than a fully new Emulator of
some System
- A large amount of "Cores" is already available (see also the separate Archives
with Cores on this site)
- All under a common GUI. So no longer GUI-less Emulators.

Please note that versions for AmigaOS 3.x WarpUP, MorphOS and 68k are also in
development (and a AROS Version under Evaluation - GUI already runs) and will be
released once they are ready.

History:

- Version 1.21.0, AmigaOS4 Release 1
- Version 1.21.0, AmigaOS4 Release 1.1
- Version 1.21.0, AmigaOS4 Release 1.2
- Version 1.21.0, AmigaOS4 Release 1.3
- Version 1.21.0, AmigaOS Release 1.4

Bew in 1.4:

- A version for QEmu is included (for QEmu Version 1.20.0 is used, for other
  OS4 Targets 1.21.0, 1.20.0 does not use Compositing and 16 Bit Color Depth).
  This version should also work for UAE OS4 Emulation.

New in 1.3:

- Now can handle paths with blanks in the directory for Cores
- Optimized with -OFast now, last versions were -O1 by mistake

New in 1.2:

- 1.1 had a broken retroarch.exe for AmigaOne x1000. Fixed.

New in 1.1:

- Switching between Fullscreen/Non-Fullscreen and
Video-Threading/Non-Video-Threading now can be done from the GUI, the
ENV-Variable is no longer needed
(if WB Window Mode + Video threading works unstable on your machine, switch it
off, start the game, and then switch it on again)
- WB Window Mode combined with Video-Threading works much more stable now
- Some fixes in Installer
- x5000 Wonderswan no longer crashes
- Installation scripting for PC-Engine CD ROM now performed
- A1222 Installation issues fixed
- Fuse Installation issues fixed
