KRetro is a work in progress! Contributions are welcome!
The easiest way to test and use KRetro is to install the nightly flatpak. It comes bundled with the recommended libretro cores.
flatpak install https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/kretro-nightly/org.kde.kretro.flatpakref
Libretro cores (which are .so files) are dynamically loaded from your system (by default, from /usr/lib/libretro).
Therefore you will need them installed either from your distro's package manager (ex. "pacman -S libretro"), or you will need to download them yourselves.
You can find a bundle of x86_64 libretro cores from the libtretro buildbot, as well as individual cores for armv7+.
The following consoles are currently supported:
- GBA
- NES
- SNES
- SMS
- Genesis/MD
There is also a built in demo core for x86_64 and arm64, 2048_libretro.
It is recommend to use kde-builder.
To build kretro: kde-builder kretro
To run kretro, first source the prefix, then run the app:
source ~/kde/build/kretro/prefix.sh
kretro
# Or, to test the mobile player:
