Ok I triggered a manual re-build, try with the latest nightly (in about 30 minutes that the buildbot run completes)
I'm being a fucking idiot and none of the tutorials online are helping.
I want to load DK94 as a Super Game Boy game (SGB2)
My roms are as follows:
C:\dk.gb
C:\sgb.smc
Retroarch is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Retroarch\retroarch.exe
What do I have to put as a command in the shortcut?

hm, I get this when trying to boot:
C:\Users\Rich\Desktop>C:\Users\Rich\Desktop\retroarch.lnk
RetroArch [ERROR] :: init_content_file :: libretro core requires 2 content files
for subsystem "Super GameBoy", but 3 content files were provided.
It's just broken at the moment. There's already an issue report about it. I've been sticking to RGUI lately since it's the only GUI that doesn't have any issues.
I'm getting a crash in bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll (latest version available on buildbot) when trying that...
EDIT: That is with rewind enabled.
The emulator boots with rewind disabled, but crash while trying to autosave state. :\
rewind_enable = "true"
rewind_buffer_size = "200"
Crash on load with these settings.
rewind_enable = "false"
savestate_auto_save = "true"
savestate_auto_load = "true"
Loads fine, crashes on exit (doesn't savestate as well) on these settings.
Win7 x64 version if that's important.
I'm guessing you have an unclosed space (C:\Program Files instead of "C:\Program Files") somewhere in a command, hence the three options instead of two?

Not even manual save states?

Nope
Yes, Retroarch crashes as well while trying to do a manual save state.
The same core works fine (both rewind and save states) when running standard SNES games, just double checked.

Well the whole thing was untested so far... It was changed about a year ago but it was never really used till last week I tried to figure it out.
I guess now we have to determine if the problem lies in the core of the front-end and fix it.
There is one person at least interested in implementing this for tgb dual.

Yeah, this is untested so far so it's likely there are some kinks to iron on the bsnes side of things.
Why don't you try the command I mentioned, I can't tell if you're doing anything wrong with that log since it's you just launching a shortcut

Is there a page that summarizes the availability and state of various libretro cores? I'm interested in earlier cores from the 8-bit era as well as the C=64 and Amiga, particularly. Stella of course is represented already, and a O2EM port to libretro seems to have gotten underway. Coleco? Intellivision? Has anyone brought over VICE or some other C=64 emulator?
I'm trying to set up PPSSPP with Retroarch.
The "latest full retroarch" here - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/win-x86/latest_RetroArch_full.7z - has an info file for the ppsspp core, but it doesn't get displayed in the core update list in retroarch.
If I go ahead & download the core dll manually from the website & drop it in the core dir, it's shown in the list of available cores, but selecting it does nothing - it effectively refuses to load it.
What am I doing wrong?

That is with the command you mentioned. That's what I get in the terminal window.
That core needs copies of the files from the assets folder included with standalone PPSSPP (the 1.0.1 Windows zip should work). Place them in your RetroArch System\PPSSPP folder.I'm trying to set up PPSSPP with Retroarch.

I've got them in the right place, still doesn't treat it as a valid core. Without them, I get the "missing asset ppge_atlas.zim" error.

Nightly Android build + Shield Portable. Anybody know how (or if its even possible) to map Start to the Shield's actual Start button and not to Right stick press/R3? I don't know if its an android limitation but nearly every other emulator I've tried seems to use the Start button just fine. Others even map select to the back button when applicable.
I just can't seem to understand how custom mapping works, both in the retroarch UI and outside with the custom bind options. I tried searching the retroarch forums and the closest I found was a developer saying that L3/R3 wasn't too common so he decided to map Start and Select there.

Can you use the 64bit build of RetroArch? I've never been able to get the 32bit versions of the PPSSPP, Mupen or Desmume cores to work now that I think of it.

No it's not, you said it yourself
C:\Users\Rich\Desktop>C:\Users\Rich\Desktop\retroarch.lnk
Wait...so the issue is I'm using the command with a shortcut?
Edit: lol, works loading via the command line. I'll do a batch file.
I'm a fool. Thanks!

Your avatar sums up nicely XD
Gah, I feel like an idiot - I was intending to use the 64 bit build. Back to the drawing board...
[added]
Wiped the folder, grabed the 64 bit latest, still no download of the ppsspp core from it, but I could grab the dll itself off the website & drop it in, and it's working. Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone, I'm new to RetroArch. I recently installed it on my vWii and I'm having some issues with resolution/aspect ratio. I want to play GB games at a 480x432 resolution and GBA games at a 600x400. I load a core, go to video settings ant set my desired resolution.
However, when I swap cores it retains the custom resolution I set before, and if I restart RetroArch it goes back to the default resolution altogether. The default 10:9 and 3:2 AR aren't working for me, as the AR shown is off.
Is there a way to set my desired resolutions and location within a .cfg file, or in some way that whenever I load a core it changes to the resolution I previously set for that core? Cheers.

Okay, so this is probably a stupid question, but how do I clear an input setting? I accidentally set one button on my controller to both open the menu and rewind, and I can't figure out how to just clear the rewind setting.
I don't want to switch it to a different button because I don't have anymore available buttons. Selecting Bind All to Defaults didn't work, and I just can't figure out what to do. @_@

- Load a N64 game
- Go to the retroarch menu (F1 I think?)
- Options ---> Shader Options
- Shader passes: Set it to 1
- Shader #0: It will open up the shader directory where you can select many shaders. Go to CRT, easymode is located there.
I have it like this:

press "START" on the setting
Thanks! Though I ended up going into the actual config file itself and just changing the value to "nul" once I found it. Still good to know, since that would have been a much less annoying way to have taken care of it.

Yeah well it seems noone reads the welcome screen
I've been hard at work at making this usable:
http://bot.libretro.com/.radius/gambatte/
Savestates are not compatible with PC saves but SRAM is so give it a shot

It's the updated version of the shader. This was a long time ago so all the latest builds probably have it already. I named it easymode2 to not override the original file.

Silly question, for performance reasons let's say I want to run Retroarch at a lower resolution than my monitor's native resolution, is this possible?

Is anybody using the Android version? If so, do you know a nightly build date that actually works? I can't get the latest one to save configurations, download cores, or recognize my save files despite putting them in nominally the right place.

I was able to get the saves to work eventually by manually forcing them through the Android UI before loading RGUI. I'm not sure I've gotten anything else to save. Does config write at some weird time in this version? I exit RGUI, reload it immediately, and have config settings I just put in disappear.

Nope, Lollipop 5.0. I can give that a shot.
While I've got you here: any way I can get the cores in the PC version to sort alphabetically? Or to show the display name instead of the file name in the core browser? I feel like I used to know how this worked....

Has anyone had any success with playing DS games? I wanted to try out a few like Yoshi's Island DS, Super Princess Peach and Super Mario 64 DS, but with Yoshi or Peach I get errors saying it "can't save or the save has been corrupted, please remove game" and then black screen.
With Super Mario 64 it says Touch Screen to start but I can't emulate the touch screen for some reason. I've enabled all the settings in the menus that I can think of, set the right stick to emulate it, but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas on these issues?

Depends what you're after. Seiken Densetsu 3 is worth checking out, as is Mother 3.
I seen a video on youtube that showed some mods for yoshi's island, super metroid, and link to the past. I think they were yoshi 2 plus 2, super metroid redesigned, and zelda parallel worlds. Was just curious if people here had favorites that were worth checking out since there is so much out there.

Check out Super Demo World: The Legend Continues. This is a hack made by the author of the tools everyone uses to make their own edits of SMW, so is a real good showcase of what it does. It's also one of the best SMW hacks there is in general.
