So, why isn't OpenBOR available as one of these cores? It's a question that has been asked many times in the community. The primary challenge is that OpenBOR is not one standardized engine. Different fan-games often require specific, older versions of OpenBOR to run correctly and without bugs. Porting it to a single libretro core would require maintaining multiple, game-specific versions, creating a complex situation similar to maintaining numerous MAME cores. When the OpenBOR project lead was asked about this, they noted that the development team is small and already overwhelmed, making a full port a very low priority.
