安卓平台的多主机模拟器RetroArch每天都在更新,现在已经进化到了r6。RetroArch从本质上来说实际是一个模块化的模拟器核心/游戏引擎的API界面,这些模块化的核心被称作‘libretro’,稍作修改就可以运行在各操作平台下的RetroArch界面上,所以一旦一个’libretro’被制作出来,会迅速的推广到所有拥有RetroArch的平台。
目前RetroArch支持以下操作系统:
- Linux (x86 and x86_64)
- Windows (32bit/64bit)
- Mac OSX (PPC/Intel)
- Playstation 3 (PS3 SDK/PSL1GHT (WIP))
- Xbox 1 (XDK)
- Xbox 360 (XeXDK/Libxenon)
- Gamecube
- Wii
- Raspberry Pi
- OpenPandora
- Android
RetroArch的设计初衷很有意思,作者是为了给大家带来模拟器世界的“终极关怀”–免费的,最好的模拟器…所以一旦RetroArch成熟起来了,那就没付费模拟器什么事了…理想实在是远大啊,让我们一起膜拜~~~~Orz Orz Orz
Versions
r6 (Jan 29, 2013)
————————–
* PlayStation1 [PCSX ReARMed] core fixes (from notaz)
– Fixes 50Hz PAL games (were running with sound being too fast and other irregularities before)
– Should fix emu crashing on some devices due to memory mapping issues.
* New system-specific overlays added – on new installs only these new ones will be there and the old bad ones will no longer be there. On pre-existing installs – just use the new ones – they should be much better. If you’re still unsatisfied, nothing is stopping you from editing these files yourself with a text editor and an image editor – it’s really simple to do.
* New ‘custom binding’ when you turn off ‘Configuration Autodetect Enable’ – allows you to manually put in button mapping in case we don’t support your pad. Note – it’s probably more reliable right now to select the ‘keycode’ from the dropdown list instead of pressing the button on the pad.
– Input autodetection expanded –
– Trust Raptor
– Should fix Logitech F710/Elecom/RetroUSB NES/etc

最近最令人兴奋的模拟器(安卓版),没有之一。虽然最近几个版本在我的机器上反而把gba模拟器的速度降下来了,但模拟器素质本身之高是毋以置疑的。尤其画面已经是各种平台模拟器中的翘楚,更可贵的是居然能集大成于一身。虚拟按键也很是有爱,漂亮,也很有怀旧的感觉
