Summary
RetroArch is the official reference frontend for the libretro API.
Description
RetroArch is a frontend for libretro, an open API which exposes the functionality of a game, emulator or certain kinds of multimedia applications. libretro started as libsnes with the SNES emulator bSNES, but libretro has since become a far broader API. RetroArch builds around the libretro API to provide a powerful interface for libretro cores.
Package Parameters
The following package parameters can be set:
/InstallDir:{path}- Installation directory, defaults to{tools-location}\retroarch(typicallyC:\tools\retroarch)/InstallationPath:{path}- Alias for/InstallDir/DesktopShortcut- Add shortcut for RetroArch to the desktop.
Notes
If a custom installation directory is used for RetroArch, shims will still be created for retroarch.exe and retroarch_debug.exe on the path so that RetroArch can be started from the command line as with prior versions of this package.
Since v1.7.7 was released, the libretro/RetroArch developers have been uploading new builds without always updating the version. If you get checksum errors while installing RetroArch, this has probably happened again. Just let us know via the Contact Maintainers link and a new package should be up on Chocolatey shortly after.
