gpSP core DLC added!

We're happy to announce that gpSP has been added to RetroArch Steam as core DLC!

gpSP is one of the fastest emulators of a very popular 32bit handheld game console released in the early '00s. It was originally made for that console's biggest competitor, quite a feat at the time and as a result it is very hard to beat in terms of performance. It has also recently seen numerous improvements over the original release by dedicated contributors who keep improving this emulator.

Caprice32 core DLC added!

We're happy to announce that Caprice32 has been added to RetroArch Steam as core DLC!

Caprice32 is a software emulator of the CPC 8-bit home computer series that were manufactured by the British company between 1984 and 1993. The hardware has great features, like an operating system, CP/M and a HIRES display mode of 80-column. Its custom Gate-array and CRTC chips, exclusively designed, allows scroll effects, custom graphics modes, overscan, and many more.

The emulator faithfully imitates the CPC464, CPC664, CPC6128, CPC6128+ and GX4000 models. By recreating the operations of all hardware components at a low level, the emulator achieves a high degree of compatibility with original CPC software.

VICE core DLC added!

We're happy to announce that VICE has been added to RetroArch Steam as core DLC!

This DLC includes various cores all based on the same emulator. Each core emulates a different type of Commodore system. You can choose between 'Commodore 64' (C64), 'Commodore 64 + SuperCPU' , 'Commodore - CBM-II 5x0', 'Commodore - CBM-II 6x0/7x0', 'Commodore - PET', 'Commodore - PLUS/4', and 'Commodore - VIC-20'.

What also needs mentioning is that there are two different versions for 'Commodore 64'. One is a 'fast' performance core, while the other is an 'accurate' core. The accurate one will, as the name suggests, have higher compatibility and a higher degree of accuracy, but it will also be slower. If you have a computer with low specifications, you might want to try the 'fast' version instead of the 'accurate' one.
