/vr/ - Retro Games

Why is it so shit? Why does it have the worst UI in history?

Stay pleb, Biggie. Really wouldn't mind that one though, one of my favorites back in 96 when I got that tape in a trade for my Bone Thugz cassette, same year I got a Super Nes.

Is there a way to bind multiple buttons to one "RetroPad" button? For example, binding both L2 and R2 to A.

Why does this still not support loading disc-based games from zip files? Am I supposed to unzip my entire library of psx/saturn/segacd/dreamcast games just to be able to play them? That's kind of ridiculous.

What is your opinion about Retroarch?

What's with the retroarch circlejerk?

>crashes when a core doesn't have a BIOS or is otherwise set up incorrectly rather than just handling the error gracefully even though this is supposed to be a user friendly frontend/media center emulator
>no way to easily specify things like BIOSes for cores
>menus are clunky and horribly laid out
>emulation is glitchy as fuck at times
Why does anyone use RetroArch? I'm convinced that its devs viral market the living fuck out of it and that's the only reason it is "popular".
