RetroArch Android v0.9.9.2 is released. This is a port of RetroArch to Android. RetroArch is a modular multi-system game/emulator system that is designed to be fast, lightweight, and portable.
RetroArch Plays the following kind of games:
- PlayStation 1 (emulator: PCSX ReARMed)
- Super Nintendo (emulator: SNES9x Next)

* NOTE: We know that VBA Next is a lot slower than a competing GBA emulator, Gameboid. The emulator this is based on - VBA - is more accurate than Gameboid, but also a lot slower. We will need a port of gpSP in order to compete with Gameboid. This might happen in the future.
