I don't get it. Why would you ever use standalones when this can do dozens of emulators in one and with a ton of extra features over standalone?

UI is fucking dogshit if you want to tweak things for certain games. Just menu slides after menu after menu slides.
Zachary Green
Works on my machine.
There are like half a dozen UI options and they are all great. You have to remember RetroArch is supporting 100+ cores and has way, way more options and customization that standalone. You learn it once and then you're good for six gens of gaming.

It's kind of useless for 6th gen and later consoles. Standalones just work better for them.
Leo Moore
Because I've been using standalones forever and changing takes work that I don't want to put in. No, Retroarch will not be more convenient for me. No, I don't care about runahead or your shaders.
Henry Torres
Because only the cores for the major consoles are any good.
Any other core is there just to pad out the # of emulatable devices" count on their website and for brownie points of the person that """maintains""" it. Most are horribly out of date and are barely functional in the first place.

Dolphin has less stutter and smoother transitions into and out of fast-forward for me than standalone, and it's also easier to set per-game settings (on Dolphin you can, but have to edit a file with a bunch of specific text codes)
The main downside is that Dolphin in RetroArch inexplicably doesn't include the disable dual-core option that is necessary to make certain Wii games (like Contra Rebirth) run, and also you can't configure complex Wii motion controls beyond cursor movement, shaking, and rolls.
James Evans
Only good for CRT shaders in older games.

For me its all the useless junk files and size it has, also like %90 of the time I've tried to use it on my modded consoles, it either did not fucking work, or the cores were slow as fuck and/or felt like they were held together with tape.

Having too many games to play prevent most people from actually playing them.
Jason Cook
The classic paradox of choice.
Give people too many options and they get indecisive. Give people too little options and they bitch they don't have enough to choose from.
This is why buying game bundles, downloading a shit ton of ROMs/ISOs at a time, and having a backlog is a horrible idea. Just download or buy one game at a time you really want to play.

I want to Play house of the dead ports on Wii with a mouse. Is it possible.
Or mame versions?
Jason Reyes
I cant find the options for anything I need, there is way to much stuff I don't care about that I have to go through to even find the stuff I want to change.
Also I would only use it for 5th gen CRT filters since I can't find any for standalone emus
Adrian Martin
retroarch can run in software mode?
Robert Lewis
don't see how the UI criticism has anything to do with tech-incompetence
it's clearly designed to be used with a controller on a console, whereas a PC UI would be easier to use and more efficient with the usual navbar with drop-down menus launching specific dialogue boxes for settings etc., the same way literally every other emulator (and literally every other program) on PC does it
the current UI should be limited to console implementations, and an actual PC interface should be the standard
as it stands, it's inefficient, annoying, and more suited to a d-pad than a mouse

First of all, YOU'RE A FUCKING SHIT FOR BRAINS.

Why do you make the same thread multiple times a day when you just get btfo every time? Hoping to run into retards who won't point out obvious flaws like outdated cores and dogshit UI?
Luis King
Basically this.
Retroarch requires every emulator to conform to its API (obviously). For simple cases like a SNES emulator, it's better than running standalone.
With later consoles, where you start needing to worry about hardware accelerated rendering, networking (and features like GC->GBA interop), and funky alternate input devices, the standalone emulators make more sense.

Logan Ward
I know there is, and that's shit too, it also doesn't have everything the other UI has.

No reason to use MAME for Metal Slug. Use FB Neo for Metal Slug 1-5. Flycast (NAOMI) for Metal Slug 6. Metal Slug 7/XX requires DS and PSP respectively but you are better off just playing the Steam version.
Get necessary bios (check in core management, it literally tells you whether it's detected, and how to name it and where to put it), set CPU overclock to 400% to remove slowdown in Metal Slug (may occasionally cause timing errors or other issues in other games, so you can save this only for Metal Slug games if you want). Enter the soft dip through service menu (can set a button combo in core options > diagonostic input) and you can adjust settings such as blood, lives, etc.
Metal Slug 6 requires you to enter the debug menu to enable blood which is a pain in the ass, or you can get the Dreamcast version, which inexplicably gives you 14 lives with no way to change it.

This. Standalone emulators are much better than memearch

It doesn't have a poor interface. There are like half a dozen UI options and they are all great. You have to remember RetroArch is supporting 100+ cores and has way, way more options and customization that standalone. You learn it once and then you're good for six gens of gaming.

Has the desktop interface been updated to where you can actually do everything from it now? Used to be limited and you still had to go back to the default one for some things. And do you still have a separate menu with different options that you can only bring up after loading a game?

Zoomers are truly are the most braindead zombie generation; look how many are so completely incapable of even performing the most basic of tasks. They literally live in the age of infinite information where anything is just a click away and troubleshooting takes just as long as it takes to type your question into a search engine, and yet they STILL insist on being spoonfed for the most trivial of bullshit.

What is "Game Mode"?
Jordan Wilson
The PCSX2 core is not as up to date as the nightly build, so I get the black sky bug in Burnout 3: Takedown still. Also, I'd use retroarch a lot more often thanks to cloud saving on the steam version but PCSX2 and Dolphin don't have cores on the steam version yet.
Zachary Wilson
its a mode that most tvs have that disables some of the image processing to reduce input latency. the difference between a tv and a monitor is a tv has image processing to make things look "better" but the game modes just turn it more into a monitor.
Anthony Bell
What filter
Jonathan Adams
Most TVs require Game Mode or some other setting to get their advertised low input lag. Most modern TVs have very low input lag as long as they are configured properly, but without Game Mode, some TVs can be 100ms+ of display lag just because they aren't prioritizing responsiveness because it literally doesn't matter outside of the context of gaming.
Nathan Foster
Depends on the core, some are better off standalone.
