RetroArch VS EmulationStation

You could try hosting the web version of Retroarch on your server, and use this but I don't think what you're looking for exists

Hi all Ive come across this github feature request from the project https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/8124

Thanks to the amazing people at EmulatorJS and Libretro for making this all possible.

It wasn't originally developed for BSNES. It seems to go as far back as 2018 with a patch by Nitsuja for a TAS geared Gens fork then submitted to RA by Dwedit in 2018

It's a pretty hairy topic once you get into the details but you can read through this issue thread to get up to speed: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/6875

So this is the issue: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/13913

I would suggest some fork of EmulationStation such as the version RetroPie has here https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation or ES-DE.org fork which is on their website

Im not sure what or who a "jrassa" is but their ES fork seems to be merely an out-of-date carbon-copy of the RP fork. As I said, try compiling the "stable" branch of RetroPie's fork. There are Windows build instructions on the github (https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/tree/stable).

Then, the retropie fork became the main one - https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation - last updated Februrary 13, 2022 - 905 commits ahead of Aloshi.EmulationStation - currently on version 2.11.0RP

Because we all will have the same hardware, it's actually a great idea to share the best emulator settings for the Deck like this - just like RetroPie for the RaspberryPi. RetroPie is mostly known as it's own OS/distro for the Pi, but it can also be installed and used as a standalone application, because the core is just RetroArch + other emulators wrapped within another frontend called EmulationStation.

The gamelist.xmls aren’t solely responsible for what appears in EmulationStation. The file responsible for which directories get indexed is es_systems.cfg. The default is located at /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg, and you can override it by creating a new one in your home directory. See the docs: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation

You can use Retropie's EmulationStation fork from GitHub - https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation.

It determines scrolling of the game descriptions in the menu screen. Scrolling the description requires rendering additional frames, which requires extra CPU power. Saves about 40-45% on single-core Pi 0/1 and 10% on quad-core Pi 2/3 according to the feature's author (I presume Pi 4 is about the same, then): https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/172
