# RetroArch \- Kronos

Summer DB entity ID: af924ef7\-7a70\-4bb7\-84c1\-ead2a499c6eb

Steam App ID: 1227441

Kronos is a modern fork of the UoYabause emulator, which is itself a fork of the venerable Yabause emulator\. This DLC provides the Kronos\-libretro core for use with the RetroArch gaming and multimedia interface, allowing users to load software that is compatible with the Kronos emulator\.  Kronos utilizes modern OpenGL capabilities to provide a variety of extra graphical features, such as increased internal resolution, so an up\-to\-date and reasonably powerful GPU is recommended\.  Kronos supports loading games from many different formats, including ISO, BIN/CUE and the compressed CHD format, and it requires external BIOS files \(saturn\_bios\.bin and stvbios\.zip\) placed either in RetroArch's "system" folder or alongside the target software in order to function correctly\.
