yeah retroarch is unironically really great it isn't even difficult to learn

Sorry I'm dumb, what is this thing exactly and how is it different from just the usual ZSNES and other emulators?
Kevin King
What do you not like about it?
Adrian Reed
Standalone emulators are garbage. They all put files all over the place in different directories. At least Retroarch is portable with all things in the same folders for all cores
Gavin Kelly
>confusing an actual frontend with a simple launcher Though I can't blame you, almost all endusers don't know the difference anymore. Pretty much all standalone emulators have the option to be portable.
Ryder Ramirez
For me, it's extremely handy because it's compatible with any controller you put into it. I use a cheap 25 dollar wired switch controller (have bad experience with bluetooth adaptors) and retroarch instantly recognizes it. If I was to use a DS4, for instance, I'd have to use Ds4windows which can be a little iffy.
Angel Nelson
>Pretty much all standalone emulators have the option to be portable. But your saves and config files for each emulator will still be in different folders
Michael King
Based. It actually saved gaming for me since I stopped playing or caring about anything modern. Now I just boot up a rom on the occasions where I'd like to game but not deal with modern garbage.
The zoomer fears retroarch.
Carter Nguyen
How the fuck do you play Retroarch with the keyboard? I can't make it work without activating a million hotkeys assigned to keyboard.
Eli Hill
Use your keyboard like this: look up a controller online and buy it.
Justin Scott
I wish it was easy to use, but I get lost in the menu jungle.
Mason Bell
Touch grass.
Bentley Ross
Am I retarded or they changed their UI recently?
Adrian Morris
The emulator cores for Retroarch often times are way behind the standalone versions. Also, the lead "dev" is a huge faggot who makes money off the works of others.
Jace Rogers
The Citra core is ass, can't even play Kid Icarus Uprising as it gets stuck on the loading screen.
Charles Gutierrez
It used to default to XMB but it's changed over to that whatever it's called now, the grey one. You can change it back.
Gabriel Jones
I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get this on my iphone and I couldn't figure out how to load a single game with it. I'm sure I could eventually got over my retardation and figure it out but I just don't have the time or patience.
Joshua Edwards
>You can change it back Thank you, I'll look into it.
Daniel Scott
I know there's much better alternatives out there for playing Quake, but has anyone gotten the full version of Quake 1 to work on Retroarch's TyrQuake core? I've been able to play the shareware version and the expansion packs on it, but when I try to to boot into the full version, it just gives me an error.
