doubt, it's supposed to work with the Flycast core

The universal emulator wrapper idea is good, many of the original and ported cores are excellent, the fact you can control everything with a dpad is cool, and the new UI is great.

My greatest gripe with Retroarch is how the settings menus are still a bit clunky, you have to take a deep dive to find some stuff that should be readily available.

Metal Slug 6 no longer uses the usual Neo Geo MVS arcade system, but rather Atomiswave, which is based on SEGA NAOMI's design. Other anon already posted the core you need, so I don't have to explain further. General rule whenever you want to get a game running is check the wikipedia for the game and check the arcade system it uses. From there, you can check which core supports said system.

Retroarch is nice to try out a lot of things with emulated games but it takes time to get used to it if you've been using many stand-alone emulators for the longest time. Saving and loading states is a little more complicated, saving settings for stuff like shaders is easy to forget and I noticed that romhacks and Gameboy games developed with the Super Gameboy pallet in mind like DK94 aren't noticed by retroarch no matter how many times you scan the same directory.

That being said it's by far the best way to emulate N64 games, especially compared to PJ64 as long as you drop the GL/GLcore modes and switch it to Vulkan. Arcade emulation is rather hit or miss in my experience, for example I had no troubles running games like Tumblepop and ninja baseball batmen but others like Killer Instinct can't be played no matter what MAME core I throw at it. As for NES and SNES emulation it's neat but except for a few things like shaders it's not that big of a difference when you're emulating on a PC.

I guess retroarch can be nice on other systems but I never tried it so I can't confirm if it's really great for Pi's.

had to walk a friend through discord to explain retroarch's quirks, but once you get past the initial barrier its great.
also I love the new default ui.

6423323
basically this, the menus need a slight rethink but it would probably fuck up the settings.
give quick menu and core settings their own tabs already.

It must be because I'm retarded, but ive tried retroarch many times and every time either it doesn't work (failed to load roms) or it runs slow on my Ps3 (which I fixed by forcing the refresh rate), or it crashes. Also a lot of the shaders don't work but that might be my pc.

I have a friend that swears by using retroarch and that it's the best thing since sliced bread but I find it very unintuitive to use and overly complicated. I have to google everything that I want to do because there's nothing to tell you how to operate the software. It took me a while to figure out to get back to the main menu while in a game.

I ended up switching to the standalone mednafen emulator for ps1 which ran and looked better. I use pj64/mupen for n64.

Im sure it's a good frontend and all, but I find it difficult to grasp most of the time and I end up uninstalling it and using a more mature emu anyway.

It's pretty comfy desu. It can run consoles from atari to n64 no issue.
Although the cores for later consoles can be a bit problematic considering the cores could be out-of-date because the emu devs haven't compiled the newest emulator to the retroarch core.

Although that's the case, for a general front end, it's great.
The shaders and features it has are rad. For example, I love that I can just switch between cores at ease.

Although it can be a fickle thing thing to use though, when it's working and set up right, it's comfy as fuck.

I've always used emulators like MAME and a frontend, and by chance was given an iMac that I plan to use as a drop in replacement for a faulty CRT in a cab until I can have it repaired. Heard it was a just werks type solution but haven't gotten a single game to launch. Tried multiple games/cores. The UI honestly feels like a confusing mess too.

You don't seem to understand. It -does- still update, if you download the same core you downloaded before. Update installed cores updates -all- of the ones you already have installed, which is a different thing. If you want to -update- a single core you have installed, the new option isn't the option you would want to use.

Also how is updating the opposite of installing? I don't get that one.

the tooltip doesn't tell me that it updates cores; i guess that's interesting and useful that you can update specific cores using that option, but it still shouldn't *just* be called "updater". installing a core is basically step 1; you're not going to be able to use retroarch at all if you don't do that first. it's UI design 101 to name and label things clearly so the user isn't lost or given mixed messages about what a given function does.

i didn't mean updating is the polar opposite of installing; they're just two different tasks. yeah, it could have been worse; it could have been named "core uninstaller". but my case study of 4 fairly competent people tells me that the current state of retroarch's menus is needlessly confusing.

It's not quite that ancient and I'm certainly not stupid enough to think PPC will get me anywhere. Can't remember EMC off the top of my head but 2010 with a first gen i3 and HD4650M
I've had zero problems on a Windows laptop using a slightly older Pentium and slower GPU. Pretty much the only system I've had noticible performance issues from was using a single core Celeron, 1GB RAM and integrated GPU. To be honest I have no idea how Windows 7 was installed to the thing, was a school loaner (these all ran MAME with no frontend)

what's with the baitin' my man? if the UI wasn't complete shit we wouldn't have this problem, now would we? again, i'm using retroarch for like 75% of my emulation now, so it's not like it's impossible to use. it's just more difficult that it needs to be for people who aren't used to bullshit UI. i've dealt with programmers making retarded design choices before; this ain't my first rodeo.

but my friends who haven't? and don't even say "just watch a youtube video bro" or "rtfm" because neither of those things should be necessary to get a emulator to simply load a fucking game. if they are, the devs have failed at design.

It's fine. The UI is fine. And there are several alternatives available. Why can't I shake the feeling that in truth you want this thing to just run out of the box? There are just too many cores for that to ever be the case. And I personally would hate a built in set up guide. Jesus, once you wrap you're head around it setting up a new RetroArch install is a 5 mintue job - if that. You can't keep simplifying things without losing features in some instances.

the thing is that people here like to pretend they're hot shit at games, know everything about history/philosophy, play simulators/dorf fort/other complicated shit, then they have difficulty setting up retroarch
like fucking hell learn to read
and, you dumb fucking nigger, it should always be necessary to read an emulator's manual, what the fuck is wrong with reading the fucking manual? you lose a little bit of time you could have spent talking with your faggot 'friends' on discord or making yet another inane post on this garbage school shooter forum?

I don't know what the problem is really? Just seems like a reddit vs. 4chan feud that's gone to far. I use dosbox with no frontends which is a nightmare for most people, but it's nice once you get the hang of it, which is how I think of retroarch and mame. It just takes a minute to get used to something new. I really think it's just trolling and hatred for reddit.

the UI isn't fine if, as (You) might say, the entirety of 4chan is unable to use it.

i'm not complaining about needing to install cores; having all cores preinstalled is obviously a retarded idea. a built in set-up guide wouldn't be a bad idea, but an easier solution is just to fix the UI issues.

once again, it's not *that* hard. it's just hard enough to put a lot of people off using it. i ignored retroarch for the longest time because its XMB interface was so goddamn awful. the newer nintendo switch styled UI is much better.

let me lift the mistery here.

1.
If you have an old instal of RA (1.6.0) and below, you would had to reinstall the whole build because other wise you would stuck with an old updater adress.

With the old url you were unable to download or update the cores.

2.
you need to see RA as a kind of House with many Rooms (Cores), you don't really need to update the house (RA), all you need to do is update the rooms (cores) and everything is fine. Therefore all you see is either
>downloade core
>update cores
you also can update all installed cores but overall, the house, is not updated.

I'm an incompetent clown with barely any life skills or intelligence. I'm pretty low IQ if you ask me. I figured out in a few minutes what every option did and moved on with my life. What is about RetroArch that brings the high functioning autism out of every person that cannot spend a minute learning anything? It's not like there's an option in RetroArch that says "delete windows" and it might do that shit accidentally. Just fuck around with it. You don't want to read any documentation but you don't want to try to find it out yourself. So third option is just to bitch about it endlessly? What kind of brainlet

i cant say i can blame them for not figuring it out. i don't know what to tell you; they're normally not retarded with tech shit. realising that the "load core" option i never touch has a clearly labelled "download core" button means it's a bit less retarded than i initially thought, but they certainly never went down that road either
>>6437359
once again, this is what i did; everything i couldn't figure out in 30 seconds i googled and almost always found a post of someone else bitching about it, with instructions on how to do whatever. so yeah, my friends should have just done that. but they shouldn't have ever needed to feel the impulse to do that for *the first fucking step of using retroarch*. i get not having the shaders options be retard proof, but it shouldn't take more than a couple minutes for someone to figure out how to set up RA to play games. stop blaming the results of bad design on users
>>6437359
ive bitched about RA a grand total of 3 times in my life, twice being in the past 48 hours because i had to set this shit up 4 times in the span of a week. the first time i bitched about it was literally me installing it a couple years ago, looking at XMB, googling for a (then non-existant) WIMP interface, then saying "lol fuck this". i wasn't about to waste my time fiddling with consolefag trash UI. ozone is far superior; it's only problems are option names and paths inherited from the old interface

Really a good set of emulator cores with a shit interface. Setup a nice frontend and have it launch retroarch to actually play games. The benefits of not setting up a few dozen emulators and their controller mappings will be evident when you realize how much time you saved and how convenient it all is.

This is probably more of an /emugen/ question but does Dolphin Blue running on flycast core for Retroarch just randomly freezes at certain points for anyone else? Game could run perfectly fine from finish to end on Demul.

If this is really a core problem, that's kinda one strike against Retroarch for me, sometimes individual emulators tend to just work way better than the cores on Retroarch, that being said, it's fine for stuff like PSX and probably the best N64 emulation option around.

It's fine for me, when it works. Updates often break old features, like retroarch 64 bit on Android apparently broke PSX emulation. The AI tranaslate feature they added requires a you to set up a separate ztranslate account outside of retroarch, and the Android version doesn't remember the shortcut you set it to meaning you have to set it each tim you load a game. It's a mess navigating through menus, it can't make a playlist with TurboGrafx/PC Engine CD games for some reason, and it won't make playlists based on any criteria other than what system it's for, often making rom lists ridiculously long. That being said, there's a youtube video for everything you ever want to set up, but it's tedious. I really wish they simplified it for normies.

I know that there is a bunch of utilities and such but why would people try to dfend the UI saying "you get used to it" or shit like that

No this makes sense. The changing of the settings might be the reason it crashed so you don't want it to perpetually go back to that state do you? You would complain about that alternative too.
>gamepad is not recognized in menu if it's mapped to port 2 even if port 1 is unavailable
There's a setting for that. You have a setting that reads akin to "Only player 1 can control the menu" enable somewhere.
>can't customize overlay messages
You can set their position, change their color and disable some of them or disable them all together. I'd call that customization.

Because some cores like flycast don't allow changing the renderer in the core options so if you want for it to be using GL when having VK global your only options is core/game overrides. If you want to downsample a game to mono you can also do it only via a per-game override of a DSP plugin.

Haven't, but I can't imagine many cores working at full speed on the Wii's modest even for the time processor. You might be able to do NES, SMS, PC-Engine, and Genesis, but that will probably be about it, and even then it would only be with specific cores. RA's cores are not exactly low CPU speed friendly, often the native version of said emulator will be faster.

Gonna side with >>6440817, if you really want to use emulators on your Wii you're better off getting standalone emulators like snes9x or FCEUX, those should work just fine on Wii's and even some older consoles like Xbox. You're still gonna have more options with retroarch or other emulation solutions on a more modern system though.

It does remember the last location you opened something, so you literally just navigate once.
Besides, organizing by folder is WAY faster and easier then tagging in a library, or correcting a library that fucking sucks at reading good goodset/nointro tags.

Yes, because the mouse-based UIs are better organized, faster, and generally more efficient to use. Scrolling through everything one by one with a controller is terrible and clunky compared to just pointing and clicking or hitting some keyboard shortcuts. I also usually just set up my emulators and then make them the default program for their respective ROM filetypes in Windows so I can just locate a game in Windows Explorer and click it to launch the emulator directly.

Wrong word, but in retroarch it just looks like the canvas of a waterscolor painting, probably due to trying to interpret the dither patterns. In retroarch it looks blotchy and also seems to leave horizontal artifacts. An example is in Sonic 1, where if you stand underneath a waterfall with a shield on, the shield has these stripes while the water fall is transparent. That never happened in Kega.

Is there a filter that won't do that and isn't an ass quality NTSC filter?

The fact that you have to use a virtual keyboard proves that a keyboard is a better navigation method, dumbass. Moving your hands to the real keyboard would be far faster than typing using a gamepad on a virtual keyboard.

Setting down the controller for half a second? What a horror! How often do you switch games anyway? I typically sit down with a mind to play a particular game, load it up, play it for a few hours, then go do something else when I'm done. I can't imagine switching games so frequently that I feel like I'm setting down the controller too much, is this some ADHD zoomer thing?

Again, just more clunky bullshit to spend extra time setting up when Windows' own file explorer is perfectly easily searchable. Click once, type out a game title, Windows moves the selection to a matching game, either hit enter if I got the exact game I wanted or double-click the correct game if it's close, emulator opens, play game.

I just don't get why you would add a shitty gamepad-focused frontend on a computer where you have a keyboard and mouse. Place a shortcut to your ROM folders on your desktop, open the folder for the system you want to play, jump to the game you want, and play it. Way faster and easier than loading up RetroArch and scrolling through all that shit on a fucking d-pad and virtual keyboard. I get it if you have it on a media PC or something where you don't have a keyboard and mouse hooked up, but on your regular desktop? It's just inane.
