RetroArch

PS5_RetroArch-v3.0.0-beta-3

PS5 RetroArch is a passion project, not a piracy project.

It exists so you can play the games you own on the console you own.

• Piracy is not condoned.
• No games, BIOS files, console firmware or decryption keys are included, and they never will be.
• Use only legally obtained backups of games you own, made yourself from your own discs, cartridges or digital purchases.
• Use only BIOS and firmware files dumped from hardware you own.
• Requests for, or links to, games, BIOS files, firmware or keys are not welcome in this project's issues or discussions.

Thank you

This beta carries the work of three contributors. Each pull request was reviewed, fitted to the port and played on a Base PS5 before it was taken.

• Contributor · What they brought
• Martin Pham@MartinPham · Home screen forwarders (#34): the --rom, --core and --exit-after-game launch options that start one game straight from a home screen tile. Game Forwarder is built on them.
• Jorge Feitosa@jorgemakerdev · SwanStation (#54), with platform work adapted from AngelXex's SwanStation­PS5. melonDS DS with the DualSense microphone and the touchpad stylus (#53, #52). Retro­Achievements for FLAC CHDs (#50).
• Marco Tundo@BuffMcBigHuge · Frame Generation pacing (#62): with Frame Generation off, each game frame is shown exactly once, and turning it on or off takes effect at once.

Your games, one tile away. Two more cores. Frames paced to your display.

At a glance

• What's new · What it brings
• Game Forwarder · Any game from your library as a home screen tile of its own, with its picture and name.
• SwanStation · A second PlayStation core, drawing with Vulkan.
• melonDS DS · A second Nintendo DS core: your DualSense is its microphone, its touchpad the stylus.
