Description

What software are you requesting to be packaged?
retroarch https://www.retroarch.com/
source: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch

Describe the motivation
retroArch provides a lot of emulation cores and a unified frontend that users appreciate

Additional context
fedora has a package at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/retroarch/blob/rawhide/f/retroarch.spec but they don't keep up with new releases too well and disable NVidia Cg during compilation
