Yeah it's shit

>>9457219
stop using retroshart for starters

>>9457219
There are two profiles, the main for RAshit, and others per every emulator, that you can bind only after starting the game. RAshit is using snes layout for its virtual gamepad with inversed a-b, x-y position but you can predict how your binding will work for 6 button genesis controller.
If RAshit detects your controller, you can find cfg for it in RA folder and change it manually

Don't help him, you are making this harder for him. If he can't even figure out setting up controllers himself, he won't be able to stand against the retarded UI of RetroArch. You must learn that UI step by step, wondering how people could be this retarded. Otherwise, nothing but regret awaits him.

>>9457219
You have two levels of controller inputs
One controls the "Xinput" so to speak, to set up what buttons are recognised for what inputs
the other is based on the core, so you change the button to correspond with the "Xinput" button that you assigned to it
it's to give you more control over using different types of controls

Use google

Alright jannies clean it up

>>9457547
this

>>9457219
There's plenty of youtube videos out there anon

Gets worse every update. I'll probably ditch it and just run launchbox with standalones pretty soon.

>>9457219
Your biggest mistake was using trannyarch in the first place.

>>9457636
How else am I gonna track my hours on Steam?

>>9457219
for the overarching settings
Settings -> Input -> Port 1 Controls
this shows how the virtual "RetroPad" is mapped to your controller and I dunno when it's appropriate to change it

instead you can change the per-core input, when a game is loaded
Main Menu -> Quick Menu -> Controls -> Port 1 Controls
this shows how the core's controls are mapped to the virtual "RetroPad"

>>9457636
Unfortunately, its CRT shaders are still the best. Otherwise, I wouldn't ever touch this shit in the first place.

>>9457872
Just use Shaderglass.

>>9457874
I do anon, but people say its not as good.

>>9457889
so what you cant come up with your own opinions? zoomie zoom zoom

>>9457889
Are you the guy who keeps asking if its good? Just compare them yourself, god damn. Do you care what random internet faggots think that much?

>>9457927
I did compare them it lacks certain features. The problem is that it looks good enough, and I don't want to deal with RetroArch. So I'm on the edge of leaving RetroArch. But I can't make up my mind.

>>9457219
Kill yourself, retard.

How do you use it in a fullscreen app? I thought it was neat but could only gte it to work with games in a window and borderless window is not good because I don't want to use desktop res.

I will never understand the unending anguish over RetroArch. It doesn't have the best UI and could definitely improve but it takes maybe 10 minutes of dedicated effort to learn how 90% of it works and then it's never an issue again. And if you don't want to put in that 10 minutes then just use standalones because you probably don't care about the power user features it provides anyway. Why do so many people get flustered over it?

>>9457219
>retro arch
Why do troons keep using this pathetic piece of shit front-end? It was shit in 2019 and it's still shit in 2022. Do what >>9457958 said and go back.

>>9457995
>I will never understand the unending anguish over RetroArch
Besides it crashing out of the box without you even tinkering with it, and ceasing to function if you stop an emulation, close it, open it up again and try to run the exact same game with the exact same settings, not to mention the fact that it's absorbing every small emulation project under the sun and stealing the thunder from the devs of said projects despite being nothing but a glorified frontend?

>>9458001
lol retard

The fact that such a simple process is convoluted enough that it needs explanation really says everything you need to know about Retroarch and its bullshit

>>9458010
>Besides it crashing out of the box without you even tinkering with it, and ceasing to function if you stop an emulation, close it, open it up again and try to run the exact same game with the exact same settings
Dont know what you did but you fucked up somewhere. Ive been using the same portable RetroArch folder for a year now and it's never had any odd crashes outside of some weird core and video driver comparability issues. Works 99% of the time with any issues

>not to mention the fact that it's absorbing every small emulation project under the sun and stealing the thunder from the devs of said projects despite being nothing but a glorified frontend

Don't care lol

>>9458028
>Extract zip
>Boot it up
>It crashes
>"you fucked up"
Emugen would have your ass for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

>>9458034
If you can't even launch it fresh then you fucked up something well before you even downloaded the zip lol. Try not using a broken OS next time

>>9458048
Try not eating bugs and maybe you'll start questioning things, brainrot.

>>9458028
It literally breaks for no reason, man, come on.
You do nothing?
It breaks.
You play a game?
It break.
You tinker with options for a completely unrelated core?
It breaks
You update your computer?
It breaks.
It's not hard to learn RetroArch or even to reinstall and set the settings correctly, but it makes things more complicated.
The problem isn't learning it or any of the other tons of emulators. The issue is that when I want to play a game, I want it to work. Especially after I set it up correctly and didn't touch anything at all.

>>9458010
>not to mention the fact that it's absorbing every small emulation project under the sun and stealing the thunder from the devs of said projects despite being nothing but a glorified frontend
hmm sounds like it's time for those devs to start competing and provide a similar product

nah let's just keep whining that the users are wrong for preferring a more unified, convenient and powerful frontend

>>9458060
I've never had RetroArch 'just break'. I've had issues where I changed a core setting that maybe wasn't compatible with my current video driver and had to revert it through the config file, but I've never had it just stop working for no reason. No clue how you're pulling that off, I assume you're just making changes without fully understanding what they do. Which I agree is a learning curve and ideally the program would just prevent you from doing it, but still

>>9458063
That is their main issue I agree. People know that the main reason RetroArch got this popular was because of its shader support and controller UI, yet the rest of them don't even bother to implement a proper shader after all these years, or the controller UI. That's one thing DuckStation did right.
>>9458068
I learned it inside out so it doesn't happen as often anymore, but I'm also sick of using it. Going into settings can be stressful at times because I know it will break and I will have to reinstall it.
Also one of the things I like about emulators is tinkering with them sometimes.

Gen 7 onward are the only emulators that aren't complete anyway. Launchbox and any gen 6 and earlier emulator provides a superior experience.

>falling for the "CRT" filter nonsense
meds

i genuinely dont understand how anyone can be this inept. like navigating this website is harder than assigning controls

you go into a menu "a = whatever button you press on your controller or keyboard"
you can even download profiles in the online updater...wow it took 2 mins so difficult
open a core, hit menu and assign controls...how are people even hopign to play any older games if they literally navigate two menus

>>9458410
Without CRT shaders I wouldn't play retro games. It's that simple.
And no I don't have space for CRT

>>9458410
>any gen 6 and earlier emulator provides a superior experience.
wrong. Most standalones I've tried can't get input delay as low as retroarch, and almost none even let you adjust audio delay

>>9457219
Plug in controller
Go to settings > input > port 1 binds
Bind controls for that pad.
Start game.
Quick menu > controls > port 1 controls
Assign controls based on the RetroPad settings you bound your gamepad to earlier. So assign triangle or punch or C or fire1 or whatever to the button you want based on where you set the RetroPad's A, B, X, Y, L, etc.

When you understand that the Retropad is a virtual gamepad go-between between the core and the Libretro API you'll get it.

>>9457225
It's not that bad

I like the standalone emus more, at least retroarch has networking though

>>9458063
Jewish post

>>9459130
It is, any basic function such as swapping disks, changing controls, transferring saves, etc turns into a shitshow every fucking time.

>>9457872
>>9457874
Or wait until Reshade gets around and fixes its shit

>>9458010
This is what anons have been trying to warn us all over this website buy the jannies always either outright sent warnings ot ban or they astroturf with snide revisionist claims, why? because they are obviously "allies" and shills for that garbage.

And YES AND Oh YES, RA had always been an unstable piece of shit.

>>9458010
Oh, and that you CANNOT DELETE the old installation folder if you dont reinstall it, i am dead serious.

>>9458063
There goes the cultish mantra of denial.

>>9458060
Dont bother man (not same fag), you know that as soom an RA thread is made, geta bombarded by both shills, WERKS4MIIfags and of course, BOTS, RA literally was made by (Insert overused word for modern left leaning trans gender people) who had done shady think with others peoples work, and then screw them over, and then had the nerve to revisionist shit and do victil blaming.

>>9458862
What is the advantage of the go-between instead of just mapping controls like every other emulator?

>>9458068
>i've never had RA ever crashed
>I've had issues where I changed a core setting that maybe wasn't compatible with my current video driver and had to revert it through the config file
>no i never had

I hate this people.wrw8k

>>9457219
Iq filtered. Classic consoles are more your style

>>9458014
As with everything in the modern world, to be successful you have to learn how to use new systems. Retroarch is pretty simple as far as systems go, try the vertical layout instead of the ps3 rgui layout and it will make more sense to you

>>9457872
>Unfortunately, its CRT shaders are still the best.
Tried to play with them, was disappointed with how many times it takes to change them from the UI

>>9457219
>emularion is superior
>now just read this telephone book of instruction to even begin

>>9457995
You're completely right. This thread is embarrassing. Never underestimate how stupid the average person is.

>>9459712
Right samefagging are we? The issue isn't setting it up, as people here have already talked about. The issue is that it gets broken for no reason at all.
>>9459590
You can save them as default global or core wide. You don't have to do the same thing again.

>>9459717
Im not same fagging schizo, your PC is just very slow or you're retarded

>>9459712
Pretty embarrassing how FUCKING STUPID zoomers and consoomers are. They're so used to Windows UI that they can't into something different. How did they ever use Nesticle, ZSNES, and how do they navigate menus in different games? RA's only downside right now is not having core-specific or game-specific video or audio settings without jumping through hoops.

>>9459309
Anon where did you learn to read? Because you should probably get your money back

>>9459717
>The issue is that it gets broken for no reason at all.
Proof?

>>9458481
This.

>>9457219
dumbass just figure it out
I have different controllers and RA never detects them correctly so I saved a different main config file for each controller, works for me.
Don't like it, blame the retropie babbies who want to use the same controller for all emulators without configuring.

>>9458001
>Why do troons keep using this pathetic piece of shit front-end?
Genplus GX doesn't have a standalone
Better than Mednafen's no GUI.
The bnses core lets me turn every option up to full except PPU, unlike the gay 3 accuracy levels shit that was in standalone (maybe that's not the case anymore, don't care, still using RA)

>>9460101
>without jumping through hoops
? I thought you just save game specific override, as long as you don’t have save on exit enabled

>>9459306
Theoretically once you map the RetroPad you should be ready to go with most cores taking that info and mapping your controls by default to where they need to be. But if you need to change them you can use the per-core setting without affecting the others.

>>9460975
Overrides are that hoop
But their implementation is shoddy at best

>>9461576
Really?
Seems simple enough for me, a separate config file for a specific core or game is better than altering the main configurations

>>9457219
1. Start the specific game you want to play.
2. Pause and open Retroarch menu.
3. Scroll down to controls and adjust as needed. Hit save.
4. If you aren't sure - make sure you are in the "Quick Menu".

OR

Alternatively, you can adjust controls without starting a game by going to Settings > Input > Then scroll down and select which controller you want to adjust.

>>9460973
I believe Ares replaced bsnes.

>>9463245
Not him but ares has problems with loading certain MSU-1 hacked ROMs for me. Standalone bsnes and the RA core of bsnes work fine though.
