Our tips to play them without them !

If you want to relive the retro gaming glory days and play your favorite games from consoles like the GameBoy, PS1 and Genesis, you can install RetroArch on just about anything. Sure, there’s the usual suspects like Linux, Windows or macOS. But you can also use it on a wide array of other devices like your Android, Blackberry, PSVita, PSP, original Xbox and Raspberry Pi. You can even run it in Firefox. Now you can add Nintendo’s Switch — a device that’s seeing an explosion in the homebrew scene — to that growing list.

 The caveat, of course, is that your Switch will need to be hacked first.

We did the test with the team of RetroLovers and installed RetroArch on a Linux box and we were impressed with its versatility and interface (which closely resembles the older PlayStation XMB interface). Once you have it dialed in it’s a dream to play with. It will automatically add games to your collection, display cover art, detect a wide range of controllers and even supports online play.

That said, We’ve practically drowned in the dizzying amount of options and potential tweaks. Expect ease of use only after you’ve put in a bit of time, research and troubleshooting.

That’s almost it…

Enjoy !!!
