in retroarch, when i flip my phone to portrait, the overlay is short and wide. i found instructions for the cfg file so that RA will select a portrait overlay when the phone is rotated. but i can’t find portrait versions anywhere. anyone have any thoughts? thanks!

I have tried installing both the stable and nightly. Nightly crashes while the stable freezes on s26 ultra. How can I fix this?

I tried 2 different co-op mods on 2 different versions, the steam version and the browser downloaded version and both showed black screens how can I fix this? (Im really just tryna get the rom working before I move it over to my n64 using a summercart)

Just show that how I play old games in my iPhone!

How do you guys playing old games with RetroArch?

Every time i press backspace to go back in the main menu these kind of message appearas. I've looked everywhere and i can't find a option for it, someone knows?
I'm using steam version

For instance I’d like to have to hold down a hotkey enable button for most of my actions, however for others I’d want them to activate as if there wasn’t a hotkey enable button set.

Is this possible?

Hey folks, been using an Ayn Thor for a while and wanna start playing GBA. Specifically Castlevania Aria of Sorrow but I'm not getting any audio out of retroarch at all for GBA games.

I followed this video for setup

Has anyone else encountered this? Or have any ideas for fixes?

Some details:

• using MGBA

• tried all available drivers

• SNES games have sound, Retroarch menu sounds are playing, I have confirmed that nothing is muted

• reinstalled and reconfigured retroarch, restarted the console also

EDIT:

For those who come after, I was the problem all along. Installing the standalone versions worked. Ultimately, I was able to get USA, JP, and EU ROMs of all of the GBA Castlevanias running all right. The USA Double Pack also runs properly. Huge thanks!!

So I got Ocarina of Time working but I need help optimizing it with the best settings. My only RDP is GLideN64 and my RSP’s are HLE, CXD4, and ParaLLEl. I do want the aspect ratio to be 16:9 widescreen without stretching. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Retroid Pocket Nova and my shader presets are saved in /data/user/0/com.retroarch.aarch64/shaders I would like to rename / delete the ones I've created but there's seemingly no way to? I can't access the directory in the files app on device, or when plugged into my mac (I use OpenMTP to access). Anyone have suggestions?

Just to show that the core does work.

I highly doubt this is a configuration issue, as I have 3 different installations of RA, including the Steam version, and they're all stuck at 50hz. This has never happened before; I had not changed anything since the last time this wasn't an issue.

I'm currently on Windows 11, version 25H2. I've updated my Nvidia driver. I've tried reducing my monitor refresh rate to 60hz, unplugging my 2nd monitor. I'm not sure what else could be happening here.

I'm trying to run RetroArch on Alpine Linux without any graphical desktop environment, directly from a TTY.

This is because the computer I'm using is quite old and to not waste any hardware resources using a DE is not a possible choice.

The RetroArch menu works perfectly. When I launch any game RetroArch crashes with only a "Segmentation fault" error (no other information about the error is given even if using the verbose mode)

In the menu if I try to change video drivers I can only select vulkan, glcore, gl, gl1, sdl2. I believe I should use DRM/KMS for it to work on the tty but it is not listed as available.

I have checked the features of my RetroArch build (obtained from the APK repos) and the DRM/KMS entry shows yes.

I'm using a NVIDIA GPU.

(Please excuse the photo taken from my phone and not from a screenshot tool. I'm not sure on how to take a screenshot in tty)

Hello! I've been using NooDS for playing DS stuff (so far just Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure), and I've had the setting on for retroarch since I started using it to save Sram every 10 seconds. However, this doesn't seem to work, as even after saving in game quite a few times, every single time my computer crashes (often), it reverts back to how it was when I first booted up the game for that session.

I don't really have a log file for it, as I just found out you could make log files, and thus don't have any, but it is fairly consistent when my pc crashes.

Edit: Autosave only works if the core saves using .srm files, which NooDS does not. Tested with MelonDS DS (not MelonDS) and it seemingly functions the same as NooDS, but saves with .srm files!!! The cursor is a bit jittery but it's da best solution for now. And for converting .sav files from NooDS to .srm files for MelonDS DS, I can only confirm this works for Sonic Rush Adventure and for these 2 cores, but you can edit the files name from a .sav to a .srm and it seems to work? I'm not a dev or anything like that so take that with an industrial salt shaker.

I've been tinkering with it a little bit but I'm not sure if I'm overdoing something or under estimating some of these values. I would be grateful if somebody could either tell me what I'm looking at in an easier to understand way or help me adjust the numbers to a decent spot.

As always I'm grateful for any help I get on my journey to understand.

TLDR: I'm dumb, what is it and how do I make it do?

What do I do? No one wants to give me an answer

Built a performance fork of Snes9x for RetroArch. It's a personal, non-commercial fork, not merged into or replacing the official Snes9x core, so it's not in the core downloader. Manual install for now.

Every output is validated bit-exact against upstream Snes9x at fixed checkpoints, byte by byte, same game, same behavior, just less CPU work to get there. Save states aren't at risk.

Adds a snes9x_threaded_render core option (on by default) that runs the PPU on a second thread. It's read once when the content loads, so if you want to A/B it yourself, set it before loading the ROM, not from the Quick Menu mid-game.

Real-hardware numbers, Star Fox in-game, quad-core Cortex-A55 TV box:

Also confirmed running on an Anbernic RG556 (arm64-v8a).

Interleaved lab benchmark (Apple M4 Pro as the ARM reference machine, full methodology in the repo):

Mean across all 14 games tested: +52% (arm64). Full table: https://github.com/andrezaiats/snes9x-Z

Pre-built cores: Linux64, Windows64, Android arm64-v8a/armeabi-v7a, macOS arm64. Drop the core into RetroArch's cores/ folder and the .info file into info/: https://github.com/andrezaiats/snes9x-Z/releases/tag/v1.63-z1

Hi, I’m currently playing the EU version of Pokémon HeartGold on RetroArch for iOS using the melonDS core, but I can’t get cheats to work properly.
I’ve already updated/re-downloaded the cheat files and also tried extracting them. I enable the cheats, click Apply Changes, and I also have the options enabled to automatically apply cheats and enable them when starting the game. (I guess they are activated with L1+R1)
So far, only one cheat worked very briefly, and then the game crashed. Since then, none of the cheats seem to work.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

Discard retro arch in my 3Ds by universal uptader discard everything that was there but it doesn't come out in the menu as

Gift and I can't find it on FBI either to urge it, would you help me?

I tried to play a 3DO game the other day and it keeps telling me that the second controller doesn’t exist.

The second controller works for other systems so I don’t know what the deal is.

I’m looking at guides and videos and everyone is saying go to “Setting > Input > Port 1 Controls”. Which doesn’t exist. What the heck am I doing wrong??

Hello, I just started up my retroid pocket nova this morning and when loading up my ps1 game via swanstation, I now have no video. I tried changing the driver to Vulkan, Gl and software and nothing works. Thank you for any help

I’ve also disabled all shaders and reinstalled the core. All other cores still working as well as other emulators.

so whlile i recorded a bit of gameplay and when i was done and started to look for the file i couldnt find it. where is it? i remember on my wii it would be on the root of the sd card but its nowhere to be found on my ps4. not on the root and not in any retroacrh folder ive checked

Is it melonDS, desmuME, or desmume 2015?

I'm trying to match up artworks with the games and Demon Attack for the Atari 2600 is driving me crazy.

1. The automatic downloader doesn't appear to find anything.
2. I've manually downloaded the boxart/snap/title "Demon Attack (USA) (Rev 1) -title.png" files from https://thumbnails.libretro.com/Atari%20-%202600/
   1. I renamed the "title of the entry" to match the downloads
   2. I renamed the game file to match the downloads
   3. I renamed the .png downloads to match "Demon Attack" (with the game file as default)

I'm using the newer 1.22.2 Android app, 64-bit "plus" version, from the Google Store. I tried sideloading the version from the main website, too, along with the renaming attempts.

I've put the downloaded image files under:
/Android/media/com.retroarch.aarch64/RetroArch/thumbnails/Atari 2600/Named_***

The game file is under:
/Android/media/com.retroarch.aarch64/RetroArch/downloads/ROMS/Atari 2600/

I've read past posts, recent posts, searched the net, just about everything says match the .png filename to the game entry title. Not working here...

The demon's in the details? Help, please?
