==Supported Systems==
*Custom overlay support.
*FFmpeg recording and playback support. It can record either the native resolution output of the core or the post-processed output of the frontend. Playback is handled through an internal FFmpeg libretro core.
*Streaming support. By adding your twitch account to RetroArch and making some small [https://www.retroarch.com/index.php?page=recording setup], it is possible to stream on Twitch the content of the game played.
*[[GGPO]]-like netplay (latency hiding rollback). It should be lag-free if everyone involved emulates at full speed, doesn't live on opposite sides of the world and has decent internet speeds. It uses peer-to-peer UDP and supports two players. Due to rollback, it requires a fair amount of CPU power to run, and the core must support serialization.
*Options for decreasing input latency related to vsync by eliminating buffering by the video driver, as well as using frame delay to delay polling of inputs until right before a vsync occurs on the display.
==Alternative Launchers and Frontends==
===RAEM=External links==RAEM *[https://docs.libretro.com/ Libretro Documentation] (formerly RA-Player) is another launcher for RetroArchContains extensive documentation on the usage of Libretro, for those that want to try something that looks more like a native Windows program. It hasn't been updated in a whileRetroarch, thoughand its cores.) ===*[[Phoenix (frontend)|Phoenix]https://forums.libretro.com/ Official forums]===*[https://githubdiscordapp.com/team-phoenixinvite/Phoenix Phoenix] is an alternative frontend for libretro that is independent of RetroArch, not to be confused with the discontinued RetroArch-Phoenix launcher. It is intended to mimic the style of [[OpenEmu]27Xxm2h Official Discord server], except using libretro and being available on Windows and Linux. It is still in early development and requires that you build it yourself through Qt, though the main developer says an alpha release with prebuilt binaries is on the way. ===Minir===*[https://githubwww.youtube.com/Alcarouser/minir MinirLibretro/ Official Youtube channel] is another alternative libretro frontend that is independent of RetroArch and inspired by bsnes-Qt. It is stated to be a complement to RetroArch, focusing on things that RetroArch does not focus on, such as a system native GUI, cheat search, debugging, etc. This frontend is still in early development and no binary builds are provided yet, but you can build it yourself from the source code on Github.
