## YunoHost specific features
2021-05-09 18:14:08 +02:00
### Use Shared ROMs library
Although you can upload a ROM at runtime, retroarch may have access to the ROMs you already have on your server:
* Games are located in `/opt/yunohost/retroarch/assets/cores`. A symbolic link is created to this folder in `/home/yunohost.multimedia/share/Games`, so that you can place your games from here
* cores have to be indexed to work : script `/opt/yunohost/retroarch/indexer.sh` run every 5 minutes to index all games in `opt/yunohost/retroarch/assets/cores`
2020-05-08 20:42:27 +02:00
#### Supported architectures
2021-04-25 16:55:10 +02:00
* x86-64b - [![Build Status](https://ci-apps.yunohost.org/ci/logs/retroarch%20%28Apps%29.svg)](https://ci-apps.yunohost.org/ci/apps/retroarch/)

2020-05-08 20:42:27 +02:00
## Limitations
2021-05-09 18:14:08 +02:00
* cannot save game, in fact, cannot write at all... so configuration is lost each time you start again
* no user management
* some core are listed but not implemented : they do not work, the issue is from the upstream app.
