Retroarch.. does it actually work.
I know everyone has their opinions about using paid emulators, but I bought a copy of RetroX on a black friday or Christmas sale or something like that several years ago for my shield and I'm very happy with it. I map an NFS share off my fileserver that holds all my roms, and I use a bluetooth xbone controller with it and have very few, if any, problems. Source: over 1 year ago

I don't know what devil magic was used to accomplish this but Goldeneye32x managed to make a PC port of Rondo of Blood. And yes, it is fully functional, i played it. The link to the game is in the description of the video

To prep for March 4, I got in some practice laps on the original
Both use "cores" to emulate various platforms, and in this case, they both use Mednafen for their PS1 core, which can also work as a standalone emulator if you are comfortable with the command line. Source: about 2 years ago
Sega Saturn core plays runs better when the RetroArch menu is pulled up, but unplayable when playing normally. Can somebody help me?
I switched directly to Mednafen (https://mednafen.github.io/) using the Mednaffe GUI (https://github.com/AmatCoder/mednaffe) and it's been smoothing sailing ever since. Source: over 2 years ago
