Similarly, [Lakka][2] has gotten a name by using RetroArch to create an incredibly smooth and straightforward experience for its users. + +Hence, we have recommended it in the past to [turn your old PC into a retrogaming console][3]. + +It is always a great day when these two large projects announce new releases, and it looks like we have some exciting news with Lakka 3.4 and RetroArch 1.9.9 release. + +Here, we will be looking at some of the new features announced in RetroArch 1.9.9 and Lakka 3.4 and the significant impact on the future of emulation. + +### What’s New? + +With this release, RetroArch has introduced some useful and impactful new features. These include: + + * AMD FidelityFX support for all games + * Windows users can now use HDR on many games + * New touchscreen menu for the Nintendo DS + + + +Lakka (which includes RetroArch) has also received some welcome improvements. + + * Improved stability + * 3 new cores for the PS1, PS2, and DOS + * Updated Mesa to version 21.2.1 + + + +Here we focus on the key highlights and, primarily, Integrated FidelityFX. + +#### FidelityFX For Retro Games + +![][4] + +When AMD announced its open-source alternative to DLSS back in June, we could never have predicted the incredible impact it would have on emulation. + +For those not aware, [FidelityFX][5] allows games to run at a lower resolution while retaining the same image quality, dramatically improving the performance. + +Now, with the RetroArch 1.9.9 release, this technology is being brought to RetroArch and Lakka. This is great because it allows older games designed to run at a low resolution to look much better without resorting to mods or texture packs. + +Overall, I expect this addition to be widely appreciated, especially by people looking for a more modern version of their favorite retro games. + +If you want to learn more about FidelityFX and upscaling, I’d highly suggest you check out [our article on Intel’s XeSS where we explain all this][6] and how it impacts you. + +#### New Touchscreen Menu For Nintendo 3DS + +One of the more interesting ports of RetroArch, the Nintendo 3DS, has also gotten a cool new feature. This comes in the form of a touchscreen menu for the bottom screen, which shows a few useful shortcuts without covering the game. + +While this doesn’t apply to Lakka, users of RetroArch running on top of another distribution should receive this change once RetroArch 1.9.9 lands in the repositories. + +### Wrapping Up + +Overall, [RetroArch 1.9.9][7] and [Lakka 3.4][8] are looking to be significant upgrades, especially with the new integration with FidelityFX. + +As we have already seen, with emulators such as [RPCS3][9], FidelityFX can provide significant graphical improvements on older games, so it is exciting to see this come to RetroArch. + +_What do you think about FidelityFX being used for retro games?
