THIS IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF TRASH SOFTWARE I'VE EVER USED
>>744240997Skill issue
>>744241196Not an argument
>>744240997It's basic black bitch 'le hecking emulating' for normies who were scared of 'muh 1337 H4x0r virus'
It’s literally fine the point is to play games. People who fiddlefuck with their emulators all day are faggots, install core download rom done
>>744241427it literally makes the one thing it's supposed to be good at - playing games, difficult
>>744241427After spending an hour fiddling with Duckstation I agree. Just use a PS1 core in Retroarch lol
>>744240997>retard didn't RTFM
>>744241243>>744240997filtered, low iq, tech illiterate, L, no imagination no creativity.
i can understand the setting up, using retroarch for the first time and learning where everything is is indeed a pain. but i cannot forgive their DOGSHIT controller/input recognition. it is FUCKING DOGSHIT DOGSHIT DOGSHIT>plug in controller 1>set up inputs>save inputs>have good time playing game>next time i boot RA up i use controller 2>set up inputs, save, have good time playing game>switch back to controller 1>nothing got saved, have to remap/save>same thing with controller 2and yes i have "save configuration on exit" on. and then just last week neither controllers worked for seemingly no reason. spent like 30 minutes trying to debug wtf was going on and then randomly when i plugged back in one of them for the 10,000th time, it started working again. beyond frustrating.
>>744241458If you can’t handle download core download rom that’s a skill issue turboretard
>>744241458It's not meant to be the retard-friendly plug-and-play emulator, you have a dozen other options for that. It's for people that actually know how to use a computer and want their games to look and run a specific way.
>>744240997I don't know for pc, but it is for sure a genuine piece of shit for smartphones.
>>744241487>fiddling with Duckstationfiddling with what? it literally has a step by step wizard on how to set it up for retards. put the BIOS into the fucking folder, set your rom folder and wallah. oh and maybe changing the internal resolution
>>744240997The most mindnumbing, assraping, dumb as fuck aspect of RetroShart has to be the controller bindings. Namely the fact that the menus all act as if you own a Microshart(tm) Xbox 360(tm) controller(tm). Such an incredibly dumb way to handle things.
>>744241950Trying to make Symphony of the Night fullscreen without stretching. I bet I could do it in Retroarch.
Do you not like the popup notification that the game you chose to start has started or the other popup notification that the controller you're holding is in use?
>>744241749>game fails to load>it won't even tell you why it failed, it won't even give you a log>um, sweaty, if you want logs you need to download a third party app>game loads>nice, now I'd like to set up a shortcut on the screen so I can load the game with one touch like the most fucking rudimentary gba emulator can do>um, we don't do shortcuts here sweaty, if you want a simple game shortcut to the home screen, you need a third party app and set it up>you can config the most niche graphical glitch setting no one knows let alone asked for, but a simple home screen shortcut its too much
>>744241427it only takes a minute to install a regular emulator and another minute to set it up and you never really need to touch the settings again. The only emulator I've had problems with really is MAME
>>744240997>>744241641>>744242092this isn’t a tech support forum go ask chatgpt or something polesmoker
>>744242176I did, no shortcuts to the homescreen allowed from Retroshart :)
>>744240997>man is so retarded he decided making a 4chin thread dunking on an emulator retards here can use just fine was a good idea
>>744241608Still not an argument, literal low t, not spending money on your patreon..
>>744241824The only use case for RA are Linux chinkhelds. For PC is pointless unless you really love to take screenshots of that waterfall in Sonic, and >Smartphones Dude, listen to music or audiobooks, or at least watch a show or a movie, smartphones are the worst device for games.
>>744242419>smartphones are the worst device for gamesIts aight with a controller, no its arguably even better imo.
>>744242037In DuckStation to Graphics->Advanced->Fine Crop. 12 pixels off the top and 4 pixels off the bottom (by internal resolution) made it full for me.
>>744242592what the
>>744240997skill issue, iv installed this pos on like 3 systems and a microwave and they all work
>>744242569Great, you somewhat fixed the controller issue. Now how you fix the battery one? And don't forget to turn off notifications and other non-gaming shit while playing.
>>744240997nah everyone itt is a dweeb retroarch is fucking trash>what if it took you 3 extra clicks to do something other emulators do in 1wow so skill issue wow much techy op you're so illiterate
>>744242798anon I'm not going to download 7 different stand-alone emulators to play my games
>>744240997I think its dumb that it doesn't do save states for stuff like old RPG maker games.
>>744241749>It's for people that actually know how to use a computer and want their games to look and run a specific way.Then why can't it apply settings changes in real time like normal emulators?
retroarch is a psyop made to convince retards that emulation is hard
>>744240997you dont know the meaning of pain until you try to configure a controller with that piece of autistic shit
>>744240997Is it true that the nightly builds are now vibe-coded slop?
>>744240997I just use individual emulators. Have a nice day.
>>744240997You don't understand what it is. It's designed to be used as a frontend for a homemade console or arcade cabinet. The interface is completely riceable.
>>744241427>implying retroarch isn't the literal king of having to fiddlefuck emulators all daylol
>>744243337letting a LLM redesign the interface would probably be an improvement
>>744240997Watching smoothbrain zoomers get filtered by emulators never gets old. Go back to Nintendo on your knees, pay the cuck tax and take it up the ass like the indoctrinated slaves you are.
>>744243491we've been running emulators before you were even born, niggers, they just weren't designed by jeets
>>744243535>before you were even born>t. zoomerTop kek, smoothbrain zoomer doesnt even know what the insults he's parroting actually mean. You cant think for yourselves, and that's by design. So stop trying to.
>>744242963instead you're going to download 7 different cores for one emulator that will require you to configure them per-console anyway
>>744243612oh boy it's that time of the day where I humiliate big mouths like you with a pic
>>744240997lol yeah dude, it is the biggest pile of fuck in all of open source softwareOne of the worst UI's ever conceived. Everyone hates it
>>744243612What else are the voices in your head saying?
>>744240997probably the best emulator for playing N64 without having to constantly remap controllers>>744241196fpbp
All the mame thumbnail downloads are fucked and don't work, it doesn't tell you why or disable the option for MAMEThere's like a million cores and hipster faggots are making new ones every day. It doesn't try to advise you which one is bestPure megalomania
>>744241243Nigga, just follow a youtube video tutorial. There's hundreds of them.
>>744243952>It doesn't try to advise you which one is bestUsually the cores that have standalone emulators work but if it doesn't just uninstall and try another for a specfic game
>>744244013there's NO video tutorials to how to earn money on patreon, now how earn money on paypal (which all are obvious scams) autismo-kun.
People saying RetroArch is hard to use is news to meWtf do you fucking meaaaan, it's so fucking easy to understand
>>744244064What if they just didn't list the ones that were fucked and shitty?
The RA devs and its cronies are lurking 4chan 24/7 waiting for the slightest bit of slandering, they can't understand why people dislike RA and the devs.
Really? I used it on my 10 year old laptop with Ubuntu, which was giving me issues sometimes, but the emulation was never a problem. Was even fine with games/cores where you have to get specific dlls and shit to get them running. >button mapping a painNever had this problem.
I use this shit on my Series X all the time. Are you telling me PC "chads" are brainlets and can't handle what I can manage and customize with a controller?
>>744244289Just because you can get games to launch doesn't mean it's good. It has serious UI flaws, mainly the fact that it can't apply settings in realtime, making you restart the core to see how a setting affects the game.
>>744244416From memory, only some settings changes require a restart.
>>744244460Like overscan, which means tweaking it is a 5 minute process that should take 15 seconds.
>>744240997it's alright, I certainly prefer using individual emulators if only because I find it easier to organize my stuff by console. small snap of one of my drives, I combined NDS and 3DS because I use my n3DSXL to play both types of game so I just have all the files in one place for easy transfer via FTP.
It was always a stupid idea to try and combine every emulator under the sun into one all-encompassing interface. They're all vastly different systems and should be treated that way.
>>744244138because some cores have more features than others or specs requirements that don't work on toasters.
>>744240997My PC broke in 2019 and I couldn't afford a new one, so for about 3 months, I played old console games on a Raspberry Pi with Retroarch. My time was actually pleasant, but because all I was doing was playing games, I didn't have an issue with it. However, a friend of mine wanted to play some FPS games with modern controls, and the whole experience was a waking nightmare. I've set up modern controls on other emulators just fine, but Retroarch is its own flavor of retarded. Recommended if you just play games as is.Not recommended if you want to do anything else with it.
>>744244718>friend of mine wanted to play some FPS games with modern controlsplaying quake ps1 port on a raspberry Pi?
>>744244718>Recommended if you just play games as is.>Not recommended if you want to do anything else with it.This.Also Retroarch's UI is the worst I've ever seen in an emulator, but I guess that's what you get for being 1) completely modular and 2) made for controllers.
>>744240997It's good for just a few emulators and applying some filters(honestly the screen worked much better for DS/3DS emulation over using Citra itself)but other ones like PS2/GC/Wii emulation it's better to use standalones since you may also need to tweak lots of minor variables/internal processing resolutions/etc and Retroarch's user-side access to Core options is actually really fucking limited
>>744240997Same, I hate this shitI don't understand why some extremely good emulators like FBNeo are stuck in it, why can't they be standalone too?
>>744240997Think mapping controller buttons is bad? Try creating a custom control layout on phone because the defaults are trash and have unnecessary buttons. If some autist hadn't made a tool specifically for creating one I'd have just used a different emulator.
>every other emulators: you map your physical controller buttons onto a virtual controller layout>retroarch: you map a virtual controller layout onto an xbox controller layoutexcuse me what the fuck?
>>744240997uh oh filtered by menus, maybe learn how to read, retard-kun.
>>744240997Yah, it's worse than every other stand alone emulator that's specific to a certain console. What do you expect from a bloated mess?
>>744243465kek
>>744241196>IQ issueftfyOnly brainlets struggles with a software
I'm stuck on retroarch because of shaders.I'd use duckstation if someone would tell me how the fuck I use crt-royale-xm29plus.slangp shader on it.
>>744240997The UI is cheeks but the Saturn emulation is still the best so I'm stuck with it.
>>744240997What you trying to play OP? I can help you.>Project64 for N64 games>ePSxe for PS1>Dolphin for GC and Wii>SNES for Super Nintendo>VisualBoy for GBA>PPSSPP for PSP
>>744249303>PPSSPP
Software emulation is inferior no matter what emulator is used. Get a mister and a crt.
>>744249371https://www.ppsspp.org/
>>744249303>ePSxenigga, this is ancient... everyone migrated to duckstation or mednafen
>>744241427>People who fiddlefuck with their emulators all day are faggots, install core download rom doneIf you know your RA shit, the real fiddlefuck comes not from core or emulation settings(thats easy if you done it once), it comes from trying to figure out which shader looks best on your game. There are so many shader options and settings in RA, they are bound to eat your time. Also, just like the other anons say, not being able to use RA is totally a skill issue. Just ask ChaGPT or some shit, if you are struggling.
>>744249457yeah i use the old emulators they are so easy to set up you just download them, set up the controller lay out and go.
>>744240997It's not. If you have problems with it you're an actual low iq tard.
>>744245492Retards will tell you there's nothing wrong with this, because they're morons. Woe befall you if you decide you want to play a fucking Saturn game or anything else with 6 buttons, time to look up an external guide for what maps to those buttons! And it's wrong!
>>744240997It's just too difficult to use. There are tons of cores and none of them have any description so choosing one is a shot in the dark. Didn't have good time trying to get a PS1 game working. Most of the cores made the game look bad and the one that looked good made the game run like shit. This is PS1 emulation we're talking here, it's a solved issue but not in Retroarch. Controller configuration is another thing I don't want to get into, you need a PHD to understand the procedure.
>>744240997(You) issue. I could set RA up fully from scratch in 5 minutes.
>>744242963retroarch is utterly invalidated by simply making a folder named "emulators" btwthe only reason anyone uses this shit is bc its the easiest way for iphone to emulate i fucking hate retroarch if you use retroarch on pc you're unironically a pseud impressed by having lots of meaningless buttons and bloat
if you have a triple digit IQ its by far the best way to emulate anything and going back to a standalone emu is an incredible pain in the ass>global settings/controls/shaders>core settings/controls/shaders>per game settings/controls/shaderscustomize everything exactly how you like it for everything under the sun just once and then it just werkz. where as dolphin and duckstation I have to do it manually every fucking time I switch a game that I use different settings for.
i like it
>>744242176It's your piece of jeetcode, shill, you should know
complaining about RA just outs you as a tech illiterate retard. embarassing
>>744249303>project 64>ePSxe>VisualBoyanti-RA troglodytes aren't sending their best. it isn't 2010 anymore.
>>744251225i remember when project 64 started forcing you to visit third party websites to unlock its download, and it never fucking worked correctly. it think it even got a malware bundled with it once. what a fall from grace
>>744240997Still funny to see retroarch filter sub iq niggers to this day
why do i need this when i can just get a dedicated emulator?
>>744251423if you dont want to deal with autistic UI that means you're a jeet, anon
>>744251423The idea was neat: to make an easy portable wrapper with emulation cores, because emulator devs don't give a shit about old consoles and chink handhelds. But it simply doesn't work great on any level
>>744249303Spank you
