[QUOTE="Graxer, post: 8715469, member: 391534"] I can see it being ok to allow a version of Retroarch onto Steam that doesn't have any cores installed by default, or readily allow for the loading of ROMs from your computer through the frontend (I'm sure people could hack the functionality back in, but what is the point when you can just download the build from the RetroArch website?). When you open Retroarch, the frontend could allow for game selection from your library, emulator configuration and downloading cores, then as the OP suggests developers could sell their classic games as DLC. I imagine that would avoid potential legal issues (that may or may not exist) and would allow developers to sell their old games again... the main problem is when it comes to BIOS requirements for certain consoles. That will always be a problem unless companies like Sony, Sega or Nintendo decide to actively support RetroArch for a cut (I can only imagine Sega choosing to do that, but for the Dreamcast and Saturn in they could do it in exchange for a cut on Saturn and Dreamcast games). EDIT: Also, games offered as DLC could have default cores they would use (maybe allowing for overriding as a hidden non-essential feature), and, to simplify the interface for the public, downloading cores would be done as console pack (e.g. you would get all SNES cores by downloading the SNES support pack).
