Only a complete retard would earnestly try to use the MAME core in RetroArch. Same goes for DOSBox. I use RA for the vast majority of my emulation needs but there not a single justifiable reason to use either one of those ever. By their very nature neither fit in at all with RA and you should 100% use the standalone versions.

Is there a particular reason why Retroarch couldn't include defaults for games, which could be user-submitted? I don't get why you couldn't do the following:

1. Open file, open .SMC file
2. Check if there's an emulator present, if not present a default download with preset settings
3. Identify controller, setup controls to default (Xbox controller, 8BitDo, other popular ones)
4. Launch game

That's a pretty dumb opinion, not even going to be sorry.
Advanced options exist for a reason, advanced users, if you're not one of them, don't touch it. But complaining that they exist, are well documented and make the software usable for a whole world of different hardware configurations and uses cases is quite... moronic.

It's like saying your car shouldn't have adjustments under the hood for advanced users or mechanics, because you're never going to touch them, meanwhile others who want to optimize do.
Unironically stick to Apple products, anon. There's a good RA alternative for macOS, you can't customize much, perfect for you.

You don't dump advance features in with the rest, you hide them to avoid the interface looking like a clusterfuck and overwhelming your users. Especially new users. How difficult it is to change visual filters for example: Bunch of menus, going down in folders, making modifications, resuming the game to see the changes, go back into the menu, change to another one. It's awful. No need to make excuses for it.

ZSNES video filters: Game is in the background and you can see the changes real-time, also applied to the pixelated UI. Sliders automatically update and you get instantaneous feedback on incremental changes. You can see what 2X Eagle or whatever does to squares, diagonal lines, and curves.

[Anonymous No.8698871]

>>8698726
>How come?
Because the MAME core isn't actually a fully realized RetroArch core. It just installs regular old MAME inside your RA directory. It keeps most of its original directory structure when it comes to configs and such and there are many issues because of it. You might fall victim to the misconception that "its fine" if you're only just starting out but if you want to use even just a one slightly advanced feature that MAME has to offer the two project's inherent incompatibility will rear its ugly head. MAME is complex enough on its own and it makes zero fucking sense to cram it into RetroArch in the way they'd have to do it before you could consider it a full-on core. It's just in the as a checkbox to tick off because you cannot not have MAME. But in truth they don't actually have it because it is a piece of shit and I haven't even touched on ROM set versions yet. Just steer clear of this mess.

Much of the same goes for DOSBox - only x10 in magnitude. If things start off with me having to assign a hotkey in RetroArch to turn off all hotkeys just so I can type in CLI you know it was not meant to be. DOSBox justifiable has its own GUI frontends that are supposed to make it easier for beginners for crying out loud (some of which actually are quite good).

Why would you type in a CLI? You use a controller after you run a .exe straight from the filepicker inside RA, rest of DOSBox configuration is done from menus.
Otherwise, why would you even be using RA in the first place? It's a frontend for easy access to games, specially with a controller and on a TV or CRT, etc.

You need to read documentation if you want to understand something to configure it to how you need/want it. Is it really that big of a brainer? Nothing to do with good UI/UX, you can configure everything in a text config file without any UI too. Even the best UI will need documentation if you need to use advanced features and don't already know what they do, not to mention RA even explains each menu item at the bottom of the screen when you select it.

Have you used the early releases of Retroarch?

It's FOSS software, it's made by random people all over the world over time and will never be finished, it just gets better and better. The "creator" is just a maintainer for the repo, they don't even contribute the most.
It's not a commercial product you pay money for that you can complain, it's a hobby project by people for people.

>A better response to that anon would have been "They have improved it a lot since then" not "Just read hundreds of pages bro, it's worth your time bro, trust me"
You still need to read documentation if you want to know what advanced features do.
It's the same with standalone emulators, I have no idea why you're thinking it wouldn't be.

>I'm not reading the manual, unless there aren't any proper alternatives, like in case of the Citra emulator.
That's pretty dumb but okay.

Not to mention you don't need any documentation or manual to use RA as a basic frontend for emulators, like stated a thousand times in this thread before you even changed your opinion about modern RA.

Holy cope. If he was interested in making the project "better and better" he'd listen to feedback and not ban people. Obviously he doesn't have as much control over the project NOW or he acquiesced to the people.

>It's not a commercial product you pay money for that you can complain, it's a hobby project by people for people.
So? Can still complain on an anonymous board and not use the software. RA is a front-end, the actual software that lets you play are made by other people. And more often than not they are way easier to use.

RetroArch is a specialist program. It's not designed for casuals to pick up and use without reading the instructions. You need to respect the program more and learn how to use it instead of expecting everything to be where *you* would think it should be.

It does already do that to the basic extent. You set up your controls on the virtual retropad controller and then the cores map their default controls to how you set up the retropad.

MAME isn't like console emulators because it's emulating one million different machines instead of one. Once a better dump of the machine's ROMs is available it updates the code to use that dump and doesn't keep legacy support for the old dump.
MAME devs official response to zoomers who don't understand the concept is "not my problem", which is very based.
Don't update mame unless you're prepared to update your entire rom set.

[Anonymous No.8700151]

>>8699652
No, that's Hyperspin.
RetroArch is for people who have exact needs for a few specific games that take a few minutes to set up and then you get down to business playing through full games.
RetroArch+LibRetro is an end-game program (for fifth gen and earlier) for people who have been emulating for a long time.

LibRetro isn't a front-end.

One of the best things I did to increase my enjoyment of gaming was delete my ROM sets and download my games one at a time after browsing through wikis, flyers, and the arcade database on arcadeitalia. Especially now that everything is there on archive.org

[Anonymous No.8700489]

>>8699787
Or just use non-merged games with FinalBurn Neo in RetroArch. There are a small handful of titles that required MAME (or maybe just were missing something), but 99% work with FB Neo and you don't need to worry about updates.

>>8700159
>delete my ROM sets and download my games one at a time
That sounds like a pain in the ass for MAME due to all the problems with rom versions and parent rom dependencies. Getting a full set for mame eliminates all that, it's not only so you're prepared if Russia blows up the internet. Just use a favorites list.

[Anonymous No.8701535]

>>8700595
>parent rom dependencies.
Not much of a problem anymore. They started putting all the versions in the same zip file. You just copy and rename if you want to play a different version.

Literally all I do right now is type in

>mame roms archive.org
on google and download the newest version from there from there and use it with current MAME. Have had few problems.

Why would each game need a different default config? They games themselves map to a default console controller. Unless it's an arcade game. In that case you can configure a few pre-maps to select from.

Not sure why you're oversimplifying it when we both know there are multiple options for BNES alone and some games won't work on emu A vs emu B. And some games that are left compressed (zip/rar) won't open if the rom filename contains a space character. It will crash the program directly to desktop.

Some cores allow zip file reading, others don't. That was my point. Try with a Master System or Genesis game and load straight from the folder, do not scan for it first. Or enjoy that game. That game is fun.

If you're hungry, you eat food. If you're thirsty, you drink water. If you're emulating, you play RetroArch (TM pending). Now also on the Nintendo Switch. If you're under 18, ask your parents for permission. Play safe, play powerfully, play RetroArch!
