Retroarch Docker

broken image


Retroroot is a Buildroot-based embedded Linux image that auto-runs retroarch on startup. What are some of the highlights/why would I want to use this? This project is supposed to be used as a template for you! I want to provide an easy starting point for users to build their own distribution/embedded Linux-based retroarch system! The Docker Weekly is a email newsletter with the latest content on Docker and the event agenda for the upcoming weeks. Meet the Captains. Select members of the community that are both experts in their field and are passionate about sharing their Docker knowledge with others. Educational resources. Built on top of the famous RetroArch emulator, Lakka is able to emulate a wide variety of systems and has some useful features such as automatic joypad recognition, rewinding, netplay, and shaders.

Note: Some of these emulators may be outdated or unmaintained. Before installingany particular emulator, check these resources to see what the current recommendationsare:

RetroArch

System support

  • Game Boy/Game Boy Color: Use Gambatte

    • Most games will require frame skipping. See the core options to enable it.
  • NES: Use QuickNES
  • SNES: Don't use RetroArch; see below for alternative options
  • Sega Master System, Game Gear, Genesis/Mega Drive: Use Picodrive
    • In the core options, set the renderer to fast if needed to improve performance
    • In the core options, you can also set the sound quality to a lower value to improve performance
Retroarch Docker

Install RetroArch

  1. Download the latest package for PSP

Retroarch file browser

Install snes9xTYL

  1. Download snes9xTYL
