RetroArch is a modular program that runs emulators and games within its framework as if they were 'plugins'.
These plugins are called 'cores', and you need to install them inside RetroArch to be able to use them.
These cores can also be used in other programs that implement the Libretro Application Programming Interface (API).
Both Libretro and RetroArch were made by the same developers, and RetroArch serves to demonstrate Libretro's power and scope.
On most platforms (except game consoles and certain mobile platforms), RetroArch comes with dynamic module loading support.
On these systems, you will be able to install and/or update new cores as they become available on our buildbot.
To access these, go to RetroArch's main menu, select 'Online Updater', and then select 'Update Cores'.
You don't need to download a new version of RetroArch in order to be able to run new or updated cores!
Once a core is installed, you can load a core by going to the Main Menu and selecting 'Load Core'. Every core that has been installed already will be shown in a list.
After you have made your choice, you can then select the 'content' for that core by going to 'Load Content'. The content that is supported by the core will be shown inside the file browser.
Some cores, like 2048, do not require any content in order to work. In this case, after you have loaded the core, 'Start Core' will appear inside the main menu. Select this to start the core directly.
The libretro core library keeps getting bigger over time, and there is always something new that gets added to our servers. So be sure to visit the 'Update Cores' section daily on RetroArch. Cores get added and/or updated constantly!

The Libretro API is a lightweight C programming language-based Application Programming Interface (API) that exposes generic audio, video, and input callbacks. Developers of "cores" such as standalone games, game emulators, media players, and other applications don’t have to worry about writing different video drivers for Direct3D, OpenGL, Vulkan, or worrying about catering to all possible input APIs, sound APIs, gamepads, etc.
When you choose to use the libretro API, your program gets turned into a single library file (called a ‘libretro core’). A frontend that supports the libretro API can then load that library file and run the app. The frontend’s responsibility is to provide all the implementation-specific details. The libretro core’s responsibility is solely to provide the main program.
Any project that is ported to work with this API can be made to run on ANY libretro frontend – now and forever. You maintain a single codebase that only deals with the main program, and you then target one single API (libretro) in order to port your program over to multiple platforms at once. A libretro core written in portable C or C++ can run seamlessly on many platforms with very little or no porting effort. Libretro bindings for other languages are growing increasingly common and comprehensive as well.
Libretro is an open specification that is 100% free to implement, with no licensing fees or strings attached. Our reference frontend is RetroArch. The two projects are not the same, and this is reflected in the licensing. RetroArch is licensed via GPLv3 whereas the libretro API is a MIT-licensed API.
RetroArch/Libretro has over 200 cores, and the list keeps expanding over time. These include game engines, games, multimedia programs and emulators.

It uses the original data files in order to work. What is nice about this one is that it has some very fancy graphics effects added on top of the old game engine without it resulting in any stylistic clashes.
LRPS2 is a PlayStation2 emulator. It has a brand-new Vulkan-powered LLE renderer called ParaLLEl GS.
ParaLLEl-GS' goal is to be as accurate as software rendering but using the GPU instead of the CPU. Thanks to this we can also do enhancements which would be too slow to do on software, such as supersampled antialiasing and other enhancements.

Reviews highlight it as a symbol of the character's peak physical conditioning and his transition into a more "humanized" fighter under Apollo Creed's mentorship.

What exactly is this legendary garment? It is a Russell Athletic sweatshirt that has been brutally, almost surgically, modified.
The training sequence in Rocky III serves as a sharp contrast to the snowy mountains of Rocky IV or the raw Philadelphia streets of the original film. Backed by the blistering pace of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," Rocky trains under Apollo Creed. The sequence features high-speed ocean sprints, pool training, and intense calisthenics. It concludes with the famous, joy-filled celebration in the surf, cementing a historic cinematic brotherhood.
To understand the Rocky III top, you have to understand the era. The late 1970s and early 80s were the golden age of the "gym rat." Bodybuilding was shifting from the niche stages of Gold’s Gym to the mainstream multiplex. Training gear was utilitarian: thick cotton sweats, tube socks, and headbands. But there was a twist: the cropped top.
Released on May 28, 1982, Rocky III is the third installment in the Rocky film series, written and directed by its star, Sylvester Stallone. Moving beyond the gritty, Cinderella-man story of the first film and the tragic realism of the second, Rocky III transforms the franchise into a study of success, complacency, and rebirth. It is widely regarded as the most commercially successful (adjusted for inflation) and arguably the most stylistically influential entry of the original series. The film introduces two iconic characters: the terrifying Clubber Lang (Mr. T) and the former enemy turned mentor, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Its central themes—the loss of “the eye of the tiger,” the danger of comfort, and the necessity of rage for survival—resonate as a compelling allegory for artistic and athletic stagnation. rocky iii top

Perhaps the most beloved aspect of Rocky III is the reconciliation and friendship between Rocky and Apollo Creed . Following Mickey’s death and the loss of his title, Apollo steps in to train Rocky, bringing a new style and perspective to the table.
The wide shoulder cuts of a sleeveless sweat top offer unparalleled freedom of movement for overhead presses, rowing, and boxing drills.
Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" was the original choice for the opening montage, but when rights couldn't be secured, Stallone asked Survivor to write "Eye of the Tiger". (often called the "Italian Stallion" tank) worn by
Rocky III is not merely a sequel; it is a thesis on the nature of victory itself. By showing a champion who loses everything because he won everything, Stallone crafted a sophisticated meditation on complacency that resonates far beyond boxing. While it sacrifices the verisimilitude of the first film for operatic, comic-book emotion, it gains an energy and iconic clarity that the earlier entries lack. It remains the most purely entertaining Rocky film—a testament to the idea that sometimes, to move forward, a champion must first learn to run backward, alone, on a beach.
Using fabric shears, cut the sleeves off right at the shoulder seam line to create a raw edge.
Mr. T (Laurence Tureaud) was a former bodyguard and bouncer with no acting experience. His performance—“I pity the fool!”—turned him into a pop culture icon, leading to The A-Team (1983) and a wave of 1980s “tough guy” characters.
