Libretro Cores Quick Look - GW

A libretro core for Game & Watch simulators. It runs simulators converted from source code for the games available at MADrigal.

How to start the GW core:
As an example showcasing loading content with GW core, we will load the Donkey Kong (Coleco) game hosted on RetroArch's Content Downloader.
You can do this by going to RetroArch's main menu screen and selecting 'Online Updater'. From there, select 'Content Downloader'.

Select 'Handheld Electronic Game', then select 'Donkey Kong (Coleco)'. This should download and extract this file to RetroArch's Downloads directory.

Go back to RetroArch's main menu screen. Select 'Load Content', then 'Downloads'.

Select 'Donkey Kong (Coleco).mgw'.

If you are asked which core to select, choose 'Handheld Electronic (GW)'.

The content should now start running!

That tune sounds like it could be straight out of Streets of Rage.

This is something i was interested in trying. The game n watch games, for the novelty.

How do you emulate something like the game and watch? How do they go about copying that?

[Phantom_Zer]

Give me retroarch over a ps5 any day, no joke.

Why don't you use MAME with artwork?

Why remove automatic update, now you have to do it manually?

Neat! Check out the new “Game and Cast” podcast if you haven’t already. It’s great

Wow...this is truly awful stuff! Not the emulation, that's amazing, but the actual games. Why anyone would want to torture themselves playing any of them for more than anything other than the sake of curiosity, is beyond me. I can see why in their physical form they're really collectable, but actually playing them....nope!
