RetroArch 2048 Core: Official Documentation Guide

This guide summarizes the official libretro documentation page for the 2048 core, a port of the game 2048 to libretro. It describes how to start the core in RetroArch, what features it supports, where it stores saves and states, and how its controls are mapped.

Prerequisites

How to Start the 2048 Core

1. Open RetroArch and go to the main menu screen. Select 'Load Core', then choose '2048'.

2. Select 'Start Core'. According to the documentation, the content should then start running.

Supported Features

The documentation lists the frontend-level settings and features the 2048 core respects. Supported features include Restart, Screenshots, Saves, States, Rewind, Netplay, Controls, and Remapping.

Core Name, Files, and Timing

The core's internal name is '2048'. The core saves and loads from the frontend's Save directory under '2048.srm' (previous game sessions and hiscores) and from the frontend's State directory under '2048.state#' (state). Its core-provided FPS is 60, its core-provided sample rate is 30000 Hz, and its core-provided aspect ratio is 1.

Controller Device Types

In the controls menu, User 1 device types include None, which does not disable input; RetroPad, the joypad and the default; and RetroPad w/Analog, also a joypad, for which the documentation notes there is no reason to switch to it.
