He doesn't have to worry about writing input/video/audio drivers - all of that is supplied to him by RetroArch. The purpose of libretro is to help ease the work of the emulator/game porter by giving him an API that allows him to target multiple platforms at once without having to redo any code. It's designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind so that the porter can worry about the port at hand instead of having to wrestle with an obfuscatory API.
#RETROARCH PS4 CODE#
You can make a libretro port once and expect the same code to run on all the platforms that RetroArch supports. Think of libretro as an interface for emulator and game ports. Right now it's unique in that it runs the same emulator cores on multiple systems (such as Xbox 360, Xbox 1, PS3, PC, Wii, etc).įor each emulator 'core', RetroArch makes use of a library API that we like to call 'libretro'. It makes it easy to port games and emulators to a single core backend, such as RetroArch.įor the user, this means - more ports to play with, more crossplatform portability, less worrying about developers having to reinvent the wheel writing boilerplate UI/port code - so that they can get busy with writing the emulator/porting the emulator/game.
