RetroArch/Libretro is a big project that consumes a lot of resources and time. An impressive amount of spinoff products and derivatives (the vast majority not even affiliated with our project) depend on its continuing development and online services.
To keep the show going, there are various ways you can support the project.
The libretro project publishes all code on GitHub. We welcome new contributors and volunteers of all backgrounds.
There are a wide variety of ways to get involved, including:
This project is wholly community-funded. Server and bandwidth costs keep escalating as we expand and more projects depend on our infrastructure. Contributions are absolutely necessary if we are to continue.
You can pledge a monthly amount to our Patreon. Patreon processes the majority of donations to Libretro.
Receive special perks by becoming a YouTube member. You can help support our efforts by joining here.
You can pledge a weekly amount to our Liberapay account. This is an alternative to Patreon.
