As 2022 comes to an end, what are most folks using? Standalone Emulators or compilations like Retroarch?
I use Mednafen with Mednaffe front-end (for GB/GBC, GBA, GG, SMS, Genesis, NES, SNES, Neo Geo Pocket Color, PC Engine/Supergrafx), plus Duckstation for PS1, Rosalie's Mupen GUI for N64, MelonDS for NDS, Redream for Dreamcast, and MAME standalone.

Neutopia II - TurboGrafx-16 (1991)
Mednafen is the best Turbografx emulator. It has no GUI built in though so grab this too if you need it. Either that or just use RetroArch with the Mednafen core.

Having trouble with PCSX on Retroarch 32-bit
I would suggest you also trying Mednafen (https://mednafen.github.io/releases/) & mednaffe frontend (https://github.com/AmatCoder/mednaffe/releases). Beetle PSX core is based on Mednafen. While Mednafen lacks some enhancements (e.g. GPU acceleration, upscaling of internal resolution, or fixes for PS1's wobbly geometry and texture warping problem), its software-based renderer is also more light-weight than Beetle PSX and has much better compatibility than ePSXe. If your CPU isn't too weak, it should run smoothly.

Resources that will help you out with replaying old games.
Mednafen with a frontend like Mednaffe are a great option for the NES, SNES, and a bunch of other 80s & early-90s systems (Genesis, Playstation 1, Saturn, etc.).

A Guide to Properly Emulate & Play the English Patch of Sakura Wars 1 with Mednafen + Mednaffe (with links!)
Mednaffe, an incredibly handy front-end that streamlines the process for you + I. In that link above, Github's layout may look intimidating, but just download mednaffe.0.9.2-win.zip. I'll go more into Mednaffe once we actually get what we're looking for.
- Mednafen 1.29.0 released!

Sega Saturn Emulator missing
A little surprisingly, https://github.com/libretro/beetle-saturn-libretro compiles just fine under https://github.com/shauninman/union-miyoomini-toolchain, and here's the resultant mednafen_saturn_libretro.so core file, if you're really so keen: https://drive.proton.me/urls/1D5KTTY870#7znkYfqDL9NP
- Mednafen 1.31.0-UNSTABLE released

I remember someone telling me that Retroarch saves the last version of a core after you update them? How do you access that?
The issue was fixed few days ago: https://github.com/libretro/beetle-saturn-libretro/pull/197 so update the core again and rewind should work again ;)

PCSX2 now supports the CHD format
I remember setting up a bounty for CHD support in Beetle Saturn years ago.
