Cores
Libretro 列出 200 多个 core。集合仍在增长。引擎、游戏、媒体工具和模拟器共用同一 API。
OpenLara
OpenLara rebuilds an early Tomb Raider engine.
The core is listed for Windows and Linux.
Read the core notes here.
It needs the original data files. Extra lighting sits on the old engine without fighting the original look.
LRPS2
LRPS2 is a PlayStation 2 emulator. Its Vulkan LLE renderer is ParaLLEl GS.
ParaLLEl-GS aims for software-level accuracy on the GPU. That headroom also allows enhancements that are too slow in software, including supersampled antialiasing.
Read the core notes here.
DOSBox Pure
DOSBox Pure is a plug-and-play DOSBox build written for Libretro. It covers MS-DOS and Windows 9x titles, plus savestates and rewind.
Many DOS games get automatic detection and gamepad-to-keyboard maps.
Read the core notes here.
PX68K
PX-68K emulates the Sharp X68000, a late-80s Japanese home computer that Capcom used as arcade devkits.
Namco, Konami and Capcom titles lived on that machine.
The core is listed for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

创新
若干想法先从该 frontend 出发，后来成为常见做法。作为仍在维护的开源项目，它每年仍增加功能。
- Dynamically loadable programs (cores): Libretro lets RetroArch, or any frontend that implements the API, run a multimedia program when that program follows the Libretro lifecycle. Other apps adopted the same API, so those cores run outside RetroArch as well.
- Dynamic audio rate control: A method for keeping audio and video aligned without crackle or large frame-time spikes. Resample ratios move so the audio buffer should neither underrun nor overrun.
- Runtime programmable pixel shaders on the GPU: Introduced in 2011 with Cg (now deprecated) and GLSL. SPIRV-Cross later made the Slang spec possible, so the same shaders can run across graphics APIs.
- Runahead: Added in 2018. A second session of the game runs ahead. When it works, input and video latency drop without obvious ghosting.
- AI text translation: Capture the current frame and send it to a chosen endpoint. With OCR and related tools, the AI service can translate on screen or speak text, on demand or automatically.
