RetroArch 1.12.0 has just been released. Read the full article on our website here.

Views

There is now an entirely new way to display and organize content Views! You can turn a filter set in the Explore menu into a so called View file which then gets listed alongside playlists. This also adds the ability to filter a category by range in the Explore menu and not just filter on exact matches. The views are saved into .lvw (libretro view) files that just like playlist .lpl (libretro playlist) files are in JSON format and are stored in the same playlists directory. You can combine several filters in whichever order you see fit and then save the results as a viewYou can combine several filters in whichever order you see fit and then save the results as a view Heres some examples of views that are now possible with the new range filtering:

Games made between 1992 and 1996 by developers Capcom and Capcom Production Studio 1
Games supporting 5 to 8 players
Games containing Mario in the title released between 1988 and 1994

These are just some examples of what is possible with this new system. Its a pretty powerful system, and we hope this gives you a lot of flexibility to better organize your content.

RetroArch is an open source and cross platform frontend/framework for emulators, game engines, video games, media players and other applications.

While it can do many things besides this, it is most widely known for enabling you to run classic games on a wide range of computers and consoles through a slick graphical interface. Settings are also unified so configuration is done once and for all.

In addition to this, you will soon be able to run original game discs (CDs) from RetroArch. We take videogame preservation seriously and want to ensure you can run your originally bought content on modern day PCs.

RetroArch has advanced features like shaders, netplay, rewinding, next-frame response times, runahead, and more!

Maybe there is no rewind in real life, but there is a rewind in RetroArch! You can go back in time and correct your mistakes!

Seeing things as we remembered was our first priority, so with our Shading feature, you can change colors, smooth pixels or recreate your bedroom TV from 1995!

You think the excitement of playing elbow-to-elbow with friends is a bygone memory? No! With our rollback-based, latency-hiding Netplay, your Player 2 is beside you again! Fight the competition not the lag!
