 [[https://docs.libretro.com/|RetroArch]] (formerly SSNES), is a ubiquitous frontend that can run multiple "cores", which are essentially the emulators themselves. The most common cores use the [[https://www.libretro.com/|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. [[https://docs.libretro.com/|RetroArch]] (formerly SSNES), is a ubiquitous frontend that can run multiple "cores", which are essentially the emulators themselves.

 ===== Voice samples ===== ===== Voice samples =====
- +New to Batocera **v32**, a recent update to [[#libretro:_o2em|libretro: O2EM]] added sample support for emulating the voice synthesis module. Download the samples from [[http://o2em.sourceforge.net/|O2EM's homepage]] (hover over "Misc" near the top of the page) and extract them into ''/userdata/bios/voice''. Sid the Spellbinder requires its own pack, but if you're not intending on playing that game they're not required.
