I added the link to a Duckstation implementation for reference
'''libretro''' (formerly '''libsnes''') is an API designed mainly for games and emulators. It allows games and emulators to be compiled as dynamically linked libraries known as "libretro cores", which can be used in a frontend that implements libretro, such as [[RetroArch]].
==libretro Frontends==
[[RetroArch]] is the flagship project for libretro, however there are plenty of other available frontends.
