RetroArch is a frontend in itself. It is not an emulator per se, rather, it uses an API called libretro which uses independantly developed and ported modules for emulation. It possesses a P2P netplay code that, while restricting it to 2 Players only, is potent enough to feature near lagless netplay. RetroArch (so far confirmed) supports NES, SNES, Arcade (FB Alpha core), Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Sega Master System, Game Gear and SG-1000 netplay. It supports several other cores, but it is yet unknown whether or not they are compatible with the netplay code (let me know in a thread if they work or not).

To get stareted:

1.- Depending on your OS, download either the 32 or 64 bit version of RetroArch and the frontend, extract the emulator to a folder, then extract the frontend to the same folder as your emulator.

2.- Run retroarch-phoenix.exe

3.- Under "RetroArch config file:", click Browse and look for a file called "retroarch.cfg" in your emulator's folder.

4.- Under "RetroArch path", click Browse and look for a file called "retroarch.exe" in your emulator's folder.

5.- Under "libretro core path", click Browse and choose the emulator core you wish to run in a folder called "libretro" in your emulator's folder.

6.- Go to Settings, click Video, and select your preferred video settings. If the game refuses to run, change the video driver until it does.

7.- Go to Settings, click Input, and remap the controls to your liking.
