RetroArch is one of my favorite programs to use for retro game emulation, because it can emulate many systems. But it does have quite a steep learning curve. In this guide I'm going to demystify some of the more peculiar things about this emulation frontend, and show you how I set up RetroArch on my own gaming platforms. This guide is meant to help you get set up with various RetroArch iterations. The video will primarily be done on Windows PC, but the same method will apply to MacOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Vita, and Xbox platforms, and more.

It's a much better experience now and a whole lot easier than it was several years ago. And once you start using Retroarch, you'll likely never use a stand-alone emulator again with the exception of a few like RPCS3, Cemu, etc.

@ravagingwolverine 2 года назад

My experience was also like that. I gave it a second chance a year or so later after hearing how good it is, and it was absolutely worth it. It's a fantastic emulation experience. I figured if I could learn command-line MAME and Mednafen, I could handle this. I treated learning the program as a project in itself to avoid frustration. Guides like this will make that easier. But the program really is as good as people say. It handles the display output better than most other emulators I used, for example. Stick with it. Take your time. I think the end result with all the options available is worth the learnign curve which, honestly, isn't as difficult as it first seems. Good luck.

@Melonposting 2 года назад

Great tutorial overall! RetroArch can definitely be intimidating for new users, and this is great for getting started. *However!* For anyone who wants their games to look as crisp as possible but doesn't like black bars, I have two recommendations. First, you can use overlays to fill your screen with an actual background. Even turning on a basic overlay for 4:3 games can make a huge difference. Second, there's an excellent set of community shaders called *"Mega Bezel"* (and a community pack - look up "Duimon Mega Bezel"). In addition to replicating a bunch of different display types (LCD, CRT, scanlines, etc), it also automatically scales your games however you want while filling the blank space with some sort of background. It takes a lot of power to run so it's only meant for PC, but I highly recommend it as an all-in-one display solution.

@@KingDonkey77 Is this still a problem you're having? I'm not familiar with the specific device or what software/OS it uses. It probably doesn't have a retroarch.exe(that would be a Windows executable). I think what you want to look for is retroarch.cfg. I use Linux and, for me, it is a hidden file so I had to find the option in my file manager to show hidden files. This is likely the same if you use Windows. You could either find the entry in the config file to change it, which could be tricky. Deleting the retroarch.cfg should work as the program should generate a new default one. That's how it works on my PC at least.

Pro Tip; under User Interface you can set Retroarch to show both box art and a screenshot and set which side of the screen they are on. Go to Appearance (2nd option under User Interface) and go half way down to Thumbnails. It and all options down to Thumbnail Scale Factor adjust what thumbnails you see, where on the screen they are and how big they are. You can set it to show boxart, screenshot or title screen thumbnails (up to 2).

Whe n I first used Retroarch I hated it, I thought the UI was confusing and messy. I preferred using the stand-alone emulators. Now it's my main one, it has more supports, more cores, universal keybinding, everything is unified. It takes some time to work everything out but it's definitely better than having 12 different emulators with some crappy UI and different bindings.

@ravagingwolverine 2 года назад

Same here. Retroarch was tough at first. I didn't like it. But, eventually, I saw what was so great about it, such as the universal settings. The way it handles display options and output is way better than almost everything else I have used. And it wasn't even all that hard to learn. Considering I was already using command-line MAME and Mednafen, Retroarch was no worse. I just didn't like starting over. But it was absolutely worth it. Fantastic program, and it made life a lot easier when I decided to try emulation on Android devices.

@effatory 2 года назад

Excellent guide! I was wondering if you can set different controllers for each core like u do with shaders/filters? I have a set of 8bitdo SNES/Genesis based controllers and I'd prefer to swap those out when I play those respective consoles. Thank you

@RetroGameCorps 2 года назад

Sure, you would map them each and save them as different controller profiles. Then when you connect the controller, you would load that profile in the Settings > Input section. I'm not 100% sure because I haven't done it before but you should be able to set the default controller profile as a core-based override for each system as well, so your SNES override would default to the SNES controller profile.

@scottgilbert3286 2 года назад

@@2-bit567 Just what it sounds like. The front end is the interface by which you chose the system and game you want to play. The backend is the nuts and bolds of the emulators you use. A good front end hides all that and streamlines the experience and incorporates great quality of life enhancements like screenshots, video snaps or even instruction manuals. For instance Batocera or RetroPi are both front ends based on Emulation Station that mainly use Retroarch in the background to run the actual games.

Found a wordpress site called "retroarchleaks" which is aLOT but I would recommend scouring there for examples of the head of RA being a douch p.s. Sorry I can't directly link to the wordpress, youtube really doesn't like comments linking to external sites (probably a ham-fisted measure against bots)

@LexiCon_-oj7vw Год назад

This overview guide was extremely helpful. I now have a much greater understanding the main functions and configurations in retro arch. Nicely structured, paced, and narrated. Many thanks!
