>Peak comfy.
It's nice... but to me the peak of comfort would have to be the XMB, I loved it on both PSP and PS3, RetroArch's no different, it feels nice to use.

I like the Switch's home UI, but this selection one here? Not so much... it feels like I'm not seeing a lot, but I'm still overwhelmed by what I do see.

NTA but, in my experience at least, with my 10 year old potato laptop, Ares takes a lot more to just run, RetroArch's just easier for many I think.

I don't see how, it's all divided in categories that make sense and, even without using the search function or looking things up online, finding stuff you need isn't hard, you go from left to right to find the proper category, then you scroll to find the sub-category that fits what you want, all you do is look and follow your intuition and you'll see that everything's where it has to be, it's so easy.

When did this whole "RetroArch has bad UI" turn into a staple? I see it around all of the time and it kept me from trying out RetroArch for years, and then I did and instantly figured it all out easily.

It's the same as any other emulator UI I've used, with the exception that it's more suited for use of controllers, which is what I use when I emulate anyways, so it's very much perfect for me there.

>Modern emulators have no soul in their UIs anymore.
I love RetroArch's XMB, but then again I'm likely one of the few here that has fond memories of Sony's PS3, the UI was easy to understand and use, and the OST in the background was just so relaxing too, it's sleek and comfortable for me.

>Is there any reason to emulate using anything other than the ol' reliables?

If you want universal settings among all of your emulators/cores without having to set them up for all of them individually, and/or if you just do like having it all in a single place, RetroArch can be quite useful, at least my experience using it, compared to standalone, has been much better.

Still, it's all a matter of what your personal use is, if you like it or not, to me it worked, but it might not for you, this anon sums it up: (>>10509821).

One thing that personally makes me adore using RetroArch is the XMB UI, since I really loved that on both PS3 and PSP, it's just satisfying to me...
