Introducing RetroArch – the emulator program for PS Vita

RetroArch is a program that combines all the emulators of the old game consoles such as nes, snes, gba, PSX … and some other old game machines. RetroArch supports multiple platforms, runs on PCs, Macs, Linux, even on handheld game consoles including PS Vita.
