The most common cores use the [[https://www.libretro.com/|libretro]] API, so that's why cores run in RetroArch in Batocera are referred to as "libretro: (core name)". RetroArch aims to unify the feature set of all libretro cores and offer a universal, familiar interface independent of platform. === RetroArch configuration === RetroArch offers a **Quick Menu** accessed by pressing ''[HOTKEY]'' + {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}} which can be used to alter various things like [[:advanced_retroarch_settings|RetroArch and core options]], and [[:remapping_controls_per_emulator|controller mapping]]. Most RetroArch related settings can be altered from Batocera's EmulationStation. === libretro: Genesisplusgx === A good all-around emulator. It can run Sega Genesis/Megadrive, Sega Master System, Sega/Mega CD and Game Gear games, but lacks 32X and Pico support. It is also the only emulator to support Lock-On technology, but can only be activated in RetroArch's **Quick Menu** ( ''[HOTKEY]'' + {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}}) (correct as of v31). After resetting the game, Lock-On will be activated. By default, Batocera will reset this setting after exiting the game. This can be changed on a per-game basis by using RetroArch's Overrides. There are patches available for ROMs that set the flag to boot into their Lock-On ROMs instead, so this is not strictly required to play those games. == libretro: Genesisplusgx configuration == ^ ES setting name ''batocera.conf_key'' ^ Description => ES option ''key_value'' ^ ^ Settings that apply to all systems this core supports || | **REDUCE SPRITE FLICKERING ''global.gpgx_no_sprite_limit''** | The Megadrive/Genesis can only draw ~80 sprites per horizontal line at a time, and any more will be mitigated by rapidly flickering between them each frame. This setting removes that limitation. Some games rely on the limit to mask certain sprites, but is generally not noticeable when removed.\\ => Off ''disabled'', On ''enabled''. | ^ Settings specific to megadrive || | **NTSC FILTER ''megadrive.gpgx_blargg_filter_md''** | GenesisPlusGX has the Blarg NTSC filter built-in as a feature, unrelated to the shader selected within Batocera. This applies only to Megadrive/Genesis games. Batocera's or RetroArch's preset shaders can be used instead.\\ => Off ''False'', Composite (color bleeding + artifacts) ''composite'', SVideo (color bleeding only) ''svideo'', RGB (crisp image) ''rgb''. | | **SHOW LIGHTGUN CROSSHAIR ''megadrive.gun_cursor_md''** | Shows crosshairs for Menacer and Justifiers devices. This applies only to Megadrive/Genesis games.\\ => Off ''disabled'', On ''enabled''. | | **CONTROLLER 1 TYPE ''megadrive.controller1_md''** | The Megadrive/Genesis has many types of peripherals, notably a 6-button controller that some games require to be fully functional and a few lightguns.
