Emulator compatibility list (standalone & libretro)
This list contains the status of the RetroArch cores and standalone emulators, listed in alphabetic order.
Some platforms - such as the Game Boy or NES - have more than just one emulator. This list can and will be updated in the future (Side note: lr means libretro/libretro core)
