RetroBar 1.22

Tip

Download the installer from the Assets section below (since it isn't signed, Windows Defender will likely require you to choose "more info," then "run anyway").

Note

RetroBar has been updated to use .NET 10 instead of .NET 6 when running on Windows 10 or later. When updating, you may be prompted to install .NET 10 if you do not have it already.

RetroBar now has a Discord server! You can join here.
