RetroArch

Top Pro

Very customizable

RetroArch is built to be an extremely customizable emulator. You can edit and customize almost every part of the emulation experience (shaders, overlays, frame rate caps, controls, etc.) See More

Top Con

GUI is difficult to use

Like most other things that have to do with RetroArch, the GUI too is rather hard to use and un-intuitive for new users. See More

Top Pro

Supports a ton of different systems (NES, N64, Genisis, etc. )

Top Con

Notoriously difficult setup

The sheer number of options and settings that it presents the user with make it extremely hard to set up for beginners. It's not for the average user, it's for people who want to tweak their experience with emulators to the tiniest detail. See More

Project 64

Top Pro

Good plugin support

There are additional plugins available for sound, video and controller input. This way a user can customize their settings to their liking. Being able to change out the video plugin for something that may support a particular game better, is a really good thing. See More

Top Con

The installer contains malware

The Slant team built an AI & it’s awesome
