I would say only DuckStation is kind of an exception right now, they seem to implement many of the requested features and provide an official Android version at least. RetroArch is ported to every system imaginable unlike the standalones.

PPSSPP refuses to add CHD format support for some reason (this isn't in the RetroArch core yet either). Personally I think the OCR translation feature of RetroArch is amazing too for games without a fan translation, I don't expect standalones to add stuff like that. Choose which Cores you want to use and copy them. Select ‘Video Shaders’ so they are switched on, next, select ‘Load’ and then either access the glsl or slang shader. Similar story with other features like Runahead. Go back to the folder that you’ve previously extracted (RetroArch-Win64), and go to the cores folder. It is very easy to enable shaders in RetroArch, simply launch a game, then press F1 (or the hotkey assigned to go back to the RetroArch menu), then scroll down the menu and select ‘Shaders’. But that's where RetroArch comes in and adds every feature you could want as a user.Įxamples include achievement support which still barely any standalones support, despite the RetroAchievements userbase being in the tens of thousands of active users.

Which is fair, it's their emulator and their free time.

Seems like many of them are reluctant to add highly user-requested features, even if they are easy to implement. IF the standalones actually decide to implement this. From within the PPSSPP core menu in RetroArch, bring up your QuickMenu (sometimes you must assign a keyboard/controller shortcut for the QuickMenu command from RetroArch's input settings) where you can then look for PPSSPP's specific Options menu.
