But until now, the emulator that everyone was waiting for had not arrived. The most famous emulator in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retroarch, one of the best and most complete emulators on the market, has been released on the Apple store. <strong>Available for iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS, this represents a radical change for the state of emulation on mobile phones<\/strong>. Because Retroarch is not like the other emulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RetroArch Starter Guide\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/icGYGriNkF4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not because, in fact, it could be said that Retroarch is not an emulator itself. <strong>It is a front-end that allows us to download different modules, which serve to emulate different consoles and computers from the past<\/strong>. Consoles like the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 1, or even more peculiar cuts like Atari computers or various arcade boards, are supported. Which means that, with a single program, we can play different consoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why Retroarch is extremely popular. It allows us to have all our emulators in one place, <strong>making it easier for us to customize our experience than if we need to use many different emulators<\/strong>. If we are the kind of people who jump from console to console. As Windows and Mac users, as well as all kinds of portable consoles, have already been able to verify, Retroarch is a must-have for any retro gaming enthusiast.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Retroarch\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/0e022f6b-3894-462c-b01c-bfa957f5db40\/3659585687\/retroarch-Download-RetroArch.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Retroarch<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/retroarch.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--4.70\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"4.70\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"4.7\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">4.7<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\">RetroArch is a multisystem emulator that allows the user to play all kinds of retro games on their computer.<\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-cover-s,f_auto\/p\/0e022f6b-3894-462c-b01c-bfa957f5db40\/367472216\/retroarch-xmb-tabs.png\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/retroarch.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to try Retroarch, it is now available for free <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/retroarch\/id6499539433\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">on the App Store<\/a>.
