+# ScummVM
+
+By default, 64-bit devices use the standalone ScummVM emulator. The RetroArch core was removed to reduce download size (~105MB).
+
+## Restoring the RetroArch core
+
+1. Download `scummvm_libretro.so` for aarch64 from https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/aarch64/latest/
+2. Place it in `RetroArch/.retroarch/cores64/`
+3. In `Emu/SCUMMVM/config.json`, find the `Emulator_64` section and add `"scummvm_libretro"` to the `options` array:
+   ```json
+   "options": [
+     "scummvm_libretro",
+     "scummvm-standalone"
+   ]
+   ```
+4. You can now select between standalone and RetroArch core in the emulator picker.
