If you open retroarch_debug.exe through command line, you get a log of everything that happened, saying what was the problem.

This is actually being worked on. So that will hopefully improve in the future.

>no way to easily specify things like BIOSes for cores

90% of systems have 1 BIOS that matters. BIOS pack on the wiki handles all the BIOS shit

>>menus are clunky and horribly laid out

Menus are fine, there just needs to be better options for mouse navigation.

>>emulation is glitchy as fuck at times

All the stable, tested cores like Nestopia, bsnes, Gambatte, Beetle PSX all work fine. Experimental cores like Mupen64plus or Reicast might have some issues.

>Why does anyone use RetroArch?

Because it provides some things that many standalone emulators lack. Like shaders, dynamic rate control for smooth sync, automatic gamepad mapping, full gamepad control, etc. It has a Vulkan driver which can be used for 2D blitting as well as 3D rendering, and will probably be great for low-latency due to low level control over the swapchain.

>I'm convinced that its devs viral market the living fuck out of it and that's the only reason it is "popular".

Or maybe it's getting popular because it does things people want. Like run on Raspberry Pi or 3DS.

PS3 UI is shit. PS3 UI clone with WAY more settings is obviously WAY more shit. On top of that RetroArch is an emulator front-end for PC and the interfaces available are all designed for use with controllers and work like garbage with mouse and keyboard. Going through settings is obnoxious for no reason at all other than the devs prioritizing looks over functionality with no regard at all for their users. They took the PS3 UI which was already mediocre, and didn't even think about whether or not it would fit on their thing. It's bad design, plain and simple. Their priorities are fucked up because only a retard wants to configure an application with countless settings with a controller. The dumbest thing is that they could've made it much more usable by just making mouse controls more responsive.

What I would like to know is how to stop RetroArch Wii from reloading default controls every time I load a new game (I like to set my B to Y and A to B for GB/NES). I read online that I need to disable the "autodetect" option on the Input settings, but my current build has no such option, only "Auto config", tried to disable that and next time I loaded a game the controls stopped responding altogether except for the Home button, so I had to delete the config file.

He's talking about non PS2 style controller setups. If you have anything that doesn't map the buttons to the RetroPad in the same fashion as a PS or XBox controller you're in for a bad time.

Take a standard six button pad (think Saturn). You have to remap the buttons to the RetroPad and know which retropad button corresponded to the original system. Instead of direct mapping you have to do it in a roundabout confusing as hell fashion. Oh and forget the fact that the gui doesn't make this very clear as to what needs to be remapped to what.

It's the same problem people ran into when dumb games like Street Fighter IV started using a pad abstraction or using XInput pads only. So you had to remap your controller to the abstraction first, then to the game.

DO NOT USE RETROPIE.

RetroPie actually funnels you through a second interface called Emulation Station first, which has its own setup, then launches RetroArch to actually play games.

Which essentially means you have to set shit up like your controller twice, and good luck trying to remove the half-dozen emulators with no games they have set up out of the box.

As for what you SHOULD use, I just set up Raspbian and compiled RetroArch from source, it only took me a few hours to get everything set up and I am much happier with the result. Maybe I'll try Lakka or whatever sometime, since it's made by the RetroArch people.

Ok, I'm not afraid of compilations and things like that. But... how do I use it easily? Does retroarch comes with a frontend like retropie?

Any further info would be appreciated :)

The cores and shaders are good, but the UI is ass. Unfortunately, no one has bothered to create a proper mouse-driven interface for it.

It looks nice.

I don't think people mind the XMB itself, it's just the deep dense menus that get annoying regardless of which menu mode you use.

But recalbox isn't compatible with Dreamcast and PSP, isn't it? Any way to add those emus to Recalbox?

Yes, RetroArch actually comes with a launcher built-in. There's literally no reason to use another launcher unless you want to also launch emulators that RetroArch does not support. Otherwise, you're literally making configuration twice as complicated for no reason.

If I was going to recommend any of these prebuilt distros for Raspberry Pi, I'd suggest trying Lakka, since it boots directly into RetroArch. However, I cannot personally vouch for it.

Unless YouTube is deceiving me, it also uses its own front-end that isn't RetroArch, which was the thing I was specifically trying to avoid.

>> No.3387084

I don't think that this a problem that can be avoided if you're trying to make a fully-featured meta-emulator that is also controller driven.

Bruh. If you've ever worked in IT you would know that someone can utterly fuck up even the most basic of applications/instructions and refuse to believe their own stupid ass could possibly be the reason something braindead easy shits the bed.

If I handed myself RA in 98-99 or even 04 I'd lose my fucking mind. It's a godsend.

Lakka's fine, it just has semi-early Pi3 support (BT/Wireless issues last I looked) because they apparently expect hardware to be given/donated to them. It's just RA with the newer PS3-style interface. The only thing I don't like so far is that it uses OpenElec over Raspbian under the hood and I'm more used to configuring/working with the latter.

fuck off, I'm not going to unequivocally tell somebody something is good without having tried it myself.

>>3387131
>they apparently expect hardware to be given/donated to them

"Apparently"? So somebody donates hardware that they want RetroArch to run on, and in turn the developers go out of their way to try and get it working on said hardware, and that's still somehow a bad thing because the programmers aren't paying out of pocket for the hardware?

As somebody who works on open source from time to time (not RetroArch) fuck off.

Your hyperbolic anger aside, I said apparently because that's the only indication they gave on why they've been slow with Pi3 development/optimization. Calm your tits.

Scanning/content is broken. Just select the roms out of your folder the normal way.
