Amiga 1200/AGA
The Amiga 1200 (a.k.a. Amiga AGA) is a personal computer developed by Commodore. It was released in 1992.
It is an upgraded form of the Amiga 500, and the software/games for both systems usually had versions for both computers. It features a Motorola 68EC020 CPU.
This system scrapes metadata for the “amiga” group(s) and loads the amiga1200 set from the currently selected theme, if available.
Grouped with the “amiga” group of systems.

RetroArch
RetroArch (formerly SSNES), is a ubiquitous frontend that can run multiple “cores”, which are essentially the emulators themselves. The most common cores use the libretro API, so that's why cores run in RetroArch in Batocera are referred to as “libretro: (core name)”. RetroArch aims to unify the feature set of all libretro cores and offer a universal, familiar interface independent of platform.
RetroArch configuration
RetroArch offers a Quick Menu accessed by pressing [HOTKEY] + 
which can be used to alter various things like RetroArch and core options, and controller mapping. Most RetroArch related settings can be altered from Batocera's EmulationStation.
Standardized features available to all libretro cores: amiga1200.videomode, amiga1200.ratio, amiga1200.smooth, amiga1200.shaders, amiga1200.pixel_perfect, amiga1200.decoration, amiga1200.game_translation
