Adding Additional EmulatorsUpdated 2 months ago

Polycade AGS includes MAME & Retroarch by default, automatically installed and configured for you. 

There's two ways to add support for additional retro systems:

  1. If the system you're looking for is supported by Retroarch, this will be the easiest way to add another system. To do this, you'll want to launch the Retroarch executable directly, by navigating to it in Windows Explorer and double clicking the executable. It's located here: C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\polycade\emulators\retroarch\retroarch.exe
    From there, you can add systems (aka "Cores") via the Retroarch UI. See here for more info.
  2. You can also add additional emulators. We don't have a great how-to about this right now, but the process has been detailed in our forums - you can check it out here: https://forums.polycade.com/d/39-add-additional-emulators-yourself/66
