RetroArch is a free and open-source, cross-platform frontend for emulators, game engines, video games, media players and other applications. It is the reference implementation of the libretro API, [2] [3] designed to be fast, lightweight, portable and without dependencies. [4]
The developers behind the RetroArch project claimed "the RetroN 5 violates several licenses". This was because the console used the Genesis Plus GX and SNES9x Next emulators to launch some games. Both of the emulators are filed under a non-commercial license, thus meaning they cannot be used in commercial products, such as the RetroN 5.
Mednafen (My Emulator Doesn't Need A Frickin' Excellent Name), formerly known as Nintencer, is an OpenGL and SDL multi-system free software wrapper that bundles various original and third-party emulation cores into a single package, and is driven by command-line input.
But this does not mean that RetroArch itself is an 'emulator', and there are cores for game engines and media players now as well. Somebody should think of the best way to 'explain' this - this ties into how RetroArch is a frontend to the API libretro.
A cue sheet, or cue file, is a metadata file which describes how the tracks of a CD or DVD [citation needed] are laid out. Cue sheets are stored as plain text files and commonly have a .cue filename extension. CDRWIN first introduced cue sheets, [1] which are now supported by many optical disc authoring applications and media players.

DMG – Macintosh disk image files; CDI – DiscJuggler image file; CUE – CDRWrite CUE image file; CIF – Easy CD Creator.cif format; C2D – Roxio-WinOnCD .c2d format
An open file format is a file format for storing digital data, defined by a published specification usually maintained by a standards organization, and which can be used and implemented by anyone. For example, an open format can be implemented by both proprietary and free and open source software , using the typical software licenses used by each.
This is a comparison of binary executable file formats which, once loaded by a suitable executable loader, can be directly executed by the CPU rather than being interpreted by software. In addition to the binary application code, the executables may contain headers and tables with relocation and fixup information as well as various kinds of ...
