RetroArch builds around the libretro API to provide a powerful interface for libretro cores. - -Some cool features to mention are frame-by-frame rewind (Braid-style), multi-pass GPU shaders, FFmpeg on-the-fly raw video recording and netplay. All these features will work independently of the libretro implementation used. - -### Which platforms are RetroArch available for? -RetroArch runs and is supported on GNU/Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac OSX (PPC/Intel), PlayStation 3, XBox 360, XBox 1, Raspberry Pi, Nintendo Wii, Android, iOS and Blackberry. - -### Which rom types are supported? -RetroArch supports uncompressed as well as zipped roms. - -### Does RetroArch support patching formats? -RetroArch currently supports UPS, IPS and BPS patching formats. -If you load rom.bin and rom.ups, rom.ips or rom.bps is present, the ROM will be autopatched. -Autopatching only takes place of the libretro implementation supports loading ROMs from memory. - -### Does RetroArch support video filters like HQ2x, 2xSaI, etc? -Filters are not built into RetroArch, but it supports filter plugins which you can load into RetroArch. -The filter plugins are the same as used in bSNES (*.filter). -Do note that RetroArch only supports the older filters from bSNES v082 and older (15-bit -> 32-bit filters). -Using newer filters will most likely crash RetroArch due to the lack of means to verify if a filter is compatible. If you can, prefer using GPU shaders as they are more flexible and much better supported. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/FAQ.mediawiki b/FAQ.mediawiki new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7af4a2f --- /dev/null +++ b/FAQ.mediawiki @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +# Does RetroArch support patching formats? +RetroArch currently supports UPS, IPS and BPS patching formats.
