Disappointment, frustration and a messy UI.

You get used to it after awhile, but it is really a big pain in the ass.

confusion, just use mednafen with a gui or a standalone emulator

[Anonymous No.6693469]

If you aren't a dumbass, it just werks.
Download the latest nightly release, grab the BIOSes from the emulation gametech wiki, extract and drop the BIOSes in the right folder.

Set the directories to shit that make sense in the settings, use the online updater or core downloader to download cores (find the best ones per system on the same wiki for the BIOSes).

Confusion for about 5 minutes, then fun, then despair as you read endless posts from people who have up after 4 minutes.

>standalone emulator
So do you only have like one or two systems that you play? Or do you seriously have dozens of bloaty apps (sorry, "programs" for you Windows users) cluttering up your start menu?

You can't get bloater (if that's even a word) than retroarch

Bloat, unintuitive design, frustration, yearning for straight forwardness, redundancy

Anyway you look at it the UI has stupid confusing decisions like three different key binding screens with different functionalities.

Arguably the best emulation for every system up till Dreamcast. Ignore the UI fags, the standard Switch UI is fine to navigate.

>>6693261
An obtuse menu system, made-up zoomie term like “key bind” to replace perfectly good ones that already existed, and lots and lots of autism to make you pine for the days when stand-alone emulators were still your best option.

PSX HW, but leave it on software mode. Change to hardware mode only for 3D games that you want to experiment with it.

!!!!!!! ATTENTION !!!!!!!!

The following cores are pozzed by tranny developers, use alternatives specified in brackets unless you're ok with using software made by freaks

bsnes/higan (snes9x)
mGBA (VBA-M)
melonDS (desmume)

Honorable mention: MAME - made by people hostile to their userbase, use FBN if it supports the ROM you're playing

[Anonymous No.6694340]

>>6694329
>mGBA (VBA-M)
Does this apply to the core or the standalone?
>Honorable mention: MAME - made by people hostile to their userbase
Oh nigger shut up. Autists getting mad at other autists isn't a reason to stop using it. Moreover MAMEfags tend to dissuade from using RA for the same "hostile to users" meme.
>use FBN
Objectively has compatibility and even worse accuracy for the roms it supports. Besides MAME eats shit in RA anyway, use the standalone instead.

>Does this apply to the core or the standalone?
Obviously both, as standalone versions are ported to RA in a largely unchanged state, albeit by different people usually
>Objectively has compatibility and even worse accuracy for the roms it supports. Besides MAME eats shit in RA anyway, use the standalone instead.
For the games it supports, FBN does it well. Contrary to MAME, it also supports Run Ahead and controller mapping through retroarch. Obviously if you want to play something like Sega System 32 you'd have to use MAME.

What are you talking about? There is no bloat in retroarch.

[Anonymous No.6694562]

i have a raspberry pi and its pretty neat. i can play pretty much any old game including arcade stuff. only thing that sucks is i bought a 6-button Genesis controller for it but for the life of me can't figure out how to calibrate it right. i'm not good with computers
