MODERATORS
A Hexbear user once commented links showing that the main Retroarch dev is a piece of shit and a transphobe which helped me reconcile with my gut feeling that individual emulators are better than RetroArch.
Yeah they're pretty shit, I remember the duckstation dev quitting for a while cuz of the retroarch devs
Didn't the RetroArch guys just steal DuckStation for a core without permission?
Yeah iirc stenzek had some code that hadn't made it to the public branch yet and the retroarch devs took it, he said they plagiarized him, they harassed him for a bit after that leading to him quitting duckstation. He started taking community PRs again eventually and I believe works on pcsx2 now but we really almost lost a really good emudev.
It's also clunky as hell. Unfortunately I have to use it for a bunch of systems because the phone I use for emulation is so old and underpowered. For example, as much as I love the standalone Snes9x some games just crackle and stutter on my phone so I have to resort to the Snes9x 2010 RetroArch core.
I also use it for GameBoy/Color/Advance because mGBA doesn't have an Android port.
