Emulator: lr-opera
Rom Folder: 3do
Extensions: .iso .ISO .bin .BIN .chd .CHD .cue .CUE
Bios: panafz1.bin or panafz10.bin or panafz10-norsa.bin or panafz10e-anvil.bin or panafz10e-anvil-norsa.bin or panafz1j.bin or panafz1j-norsa.bin or goldstar.bin or sanyotry.bin or 3do_arcade_saot.bin See this link for more details:
Then just launch the PoP.apple2 from the emulationstation system menu for Apple II.
HINT - You can change the extensions of your 2 disk games to something like .dsks and add that to your .apple2 text file. That way, they won't show up in the system menu and cause duplication. You could also just hide those games in the system menu as well via the menu when you press the select on the game and go to Edit Metadata.
Emulator: lr-mess
Rom Folder: astrocde
Extensions: .7z .7Z .bin .BIN .zip .ZIP
Bios: astrocde.zip (must be in the roms/astrocde folder. NOT THE BIOS FOLDER!)
Notes: Because this uses the mess emulator, there's a little more work involved in getting the games to run in which the rom must be named exactly as shown in the bios/mame/hash/astrocde.xml file. For example, The Incredible Wizard rom must be named wizard.bin. If it is zipped, it must be named wizard.zip.
Emulator: lr-atari800
Rom Folder: atari800
Extensions: .atr .ATR .rom .ROM .zip .ZIP .7z .7Z
Bios: ATARIOSA.ROM and ATARIOSB.ROM and ATARIBAS.ROM
Note: .rom seems to have issues with the libretro atari800 as of 11/13/2021. .atr still work as well as .zip files containing .atr and .xex seem to work for the most part.
Emulator: love2d version 11.4
Rom Folder: love2d
Extensions: .love .LOVE
Bios: None
Notes: Upon initial launch of a love game, a corresponding .gptk file is created within the love/controls subfolder within the roms (or roms2) folder. This file contains keyboard keys that have been mapped to a corresponding controller button input of your device. You can edit this file to change the assigned keyboard key to a controller button input. You can also disable assigning a key to a controller button input by changing its value to \".
Emulator: (lr-sameduck) lr-mess
Rom Folder: megaduck
Extensions: .bin .BIN .zip .ZIP .7z .7Z
Bios: None
Notes: If you want to use the mess core, there's a little more work involved in getting the games to run in which the rom must be named exactly as shown as the software name in the bios/mame/hash/megaduck.xml file. For example, Arctic Zone rom must be named arczone.bin. If it is zipped, it must be named arczone.zip.
Emulator: MVEM
Rom Folder: mv
Extensions: .bin .BIN
Bios: None
Notes: This portable gaming system by Milton Bradley had only a few games. For the best experience, the game files should include the .bmp and _snap.bmp for each bin. To use the predefined control scheme, the game files must be named appropriately as follows:
Emulator: (lr-bluemsx) lr-fMSX OpenMSX
Rom Folder: msx
Extensions: .cas .CAS .dsk .DSK .mx1 .MX1 .mx2 .MX2 .rom .ROM .zip .ZIP .7z .7Z
Bios: See this link for more details. : The blueMSX core requires the 'Databases' and 'Machines' folders from a full installation of blueMSX.
You can download the 'Databases' and 'Machines' folders from an official full standalone blueMSX emulator installation.
Get blueMSXv282full.zip near the bottom of the page.
Move/Copy the 'Databases' and 'Machines' Folders to the bios folder.

Emulator: (standalone(mupen64plus)) lr-parallel-n64 lr-mupen64plus_next lr-mupen64plus
Rom Folder: n64
Extensions: .z64 .Z64 .n64 .N64 .v64 .V64
Bios: None
Note: standalone(mupen64plus) will most likely have the best performance but is the least user friendly emulator as the keys are not easily reconfigurable. See the FAQ section for your respective supported device in this wiki and scroll down to the mupen64plus standalone emulator section for the default key configuration for the standalone emulator.
Emulator: (lr-dosbox_pure) lr-dosbox
Rom Folder: dos
Extensions: .dosz .DOSZ .exe .EXE .com .COM .bat .BAT .conf .CONF .cue .CUE .iso .ISO .zip .ZIP
Bios: None
Note: If you're using the default dosbox_pure libretro core and your dos games are in .zip format, rename the extensions to .dosz then run the MSDOS - Hide Zip Games tool in the Options section. This will prevent the duplicate entries that occurs when dosbox_pure creates a .pure.zip file for each game launched.
Emulator: lr-picodrive
Rom Folder: pico
Extensions: .mdx .MDX .md .MD .smd .SMD .gen .GEN .bin .BIN .cue .CUE .iso .ISO .sms .SMS .gg .GG .sg .SG .sgd .SGD .68k .68K .chd .CHD .zip .ZIP .7z .7Z
Bios: None
Emulator: lr-81
Rom Folder: zx81
Extensions: .p .P .tzx .TZX .zip .ZIP
Bios: None
Notes: I was only able to successfully load .p based roms. I suggest using .p roms and .zip files with .p roms in them based on my testing.
Many games can be started by hitting select to bring up the virtual keyboard, hit R then newline key. Otherwise, you'll need
to search online on how to load these games if you're not familiar with this system.
PCSX2 is a full-throttle desktop emulator for Sony PlayStation 2. It puts any PlayStation 2 game on your PC with the added appeal of getting to set up your graphics configurations as you see fit -- often far surpassing original visuals.
In order to set up, simply install the appropriate BIOS file for any regional PlayStation 2 -- that said, they're NOT loaded within this program; albeit a quick Google search should put all the files you need in your hands fairly easily. This program is very simple to use. After just a few quick steps you get to play any and all original PlayStation 2 games from your DVD drive. Otherwise, you can also opt into loading images directly from your hard drive which speeds things along slightly. Set up game controllers, video and audio parameters, plus easily opt to save your games on an external SIM card.
With over 1500 games available -- all of which run seamlessly -- you'll find this catalog is ripe with compatible titles. That said, there are a few games with the occasional hiccup, but all in all PCSX2 has proven a very successful PlayStation 2 rendition for PCs. Best of all is that you can actually attain a gaming experience that is visually far more compelling than its original thanks to the tweaks you can make on graphics to display them to your own liking; provided that your PC set up can handle it -- that is. Among visual options that you can toggle you'll find there are a wide array of possibilities: reset resolution, rendering systems, shaders, texture filters, and much more. All in all, PCSX2 is by far the finest PlayStation 2 emulator out there today, a welcome title for any diehard PS2 fan who's in the market for a way to migrate their retro games onto today's PCs.
PCSX2 has very accessible minimum requirements. Any Intel or AMD CPU with AVX2 support will do, as well as any graphics card with DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4 support, and at least 8 GB of RAM. If you meet these requirements, you can play without any problems.
To download the BIOS of PCSX2, you'll have to look for them manually with an Internet search engine. The PCSX2 developers do not host Playstation 2 BIOS on their official website, so you'll have to find them on your own.
When I click "Latest version " it redirects me to the Download page, and when I click the green "Download " button it redirects me to this page again ... What do I do? I'm stuck in that infinite cycle...
