RetroArch is a multi-system emulator for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and *BSD. It is formerly known as SSNES. Its design and background is quite different than most other emulators as RetroArch does not implement an emulation core itself. RetroArch talks to libretro, a generic emulator core API. This means that RetroArch is core agnostic, and it does not care which emulator core is running.

Currently there are libretro implementations for systems such as SNES, NES, GBA, GB/GBC, Genesis, and even arcade games (Final Burn Alpha).

libretro isn't only usable for emulators. A preliminary port of an open source reimplementation of Cave Story has been ported to libretro as well.

RetroArch believes in modularity. The application itself is a command-line driven application suitable for HTPC and/or headless use. There also exists a GUI frontend for RetroArch, supporting every single config option available in RetroArch.

RetroArch is the future!

Not only is it dead simple to use thanks to this front-end (RAEM):
https://github.com/phexe/RAEM/releases/download/v0.5.6.0/RAEM_v0.5.6.0.zip

but the variety of shaders, filters etc. makes the screen look just like how I remembered it from way back when.

For the last couple of months I have switched 50% of the stand alone emulators I used to Libretro cores getting results I never got before.

The biggest change have been on the PSX front with the Mednafen PSX core, ePSXe and XEBRA is a thing in the past (good riddance)

My goal is to one day have my entire library of games played through RetroArch.

It's never been more simpler to emulate.
