Here's another to add to the pronunciation wars. RetroArch is pronounced RetroArk. Which I will die on that hill because Arch stands for either Architecture or Archive. Too many times have I heard people on YouTube make it sound like McDonald's golden arches.

The devs have stated otherwise. The project was originally announced on an Arch Linux forum, so they included a nod in the name.

But what does Arch stand for in that context?

Its the nod to Arch Linux as mentioned.

‘Ark Linux’ ?

Arch as in rhyming with march.

Take it from the devs

‘March’ pronounced like ‘Mark’?

Yup that sounds good.
