Is there any reason to use this or should I just stick to standalone?

God I hate this zoomer era of emulation. Even fucking mednafen gave me better result despite the unplayable framerate.
Thomas Morgan
I sure love having this thread every day.
Carson Perry
Are you outputting to a CRT TV? That's the only real purpose of retroonarch, anything else is poser cope.
Jaxson Howard
>>Put kronos
lol
Anthony Young
There's a whole wiki for setting up each and every core. How could this possible be hard for you?
Samuel Hill
Do you emulate many systems or just one? Restroarch is pretty much the only way to emulate niche consoles like the PC Engine. There's only one standalone emulator that does a decent job called Magic Engine but you have to jump through hoops to use it while on Retroarch you only have to download Mednafen's core straight from the interface and you're set. The Sega Saturn cores on Retroarch also have much better compatibility and performance than SSF, which is basically the only standalone Saturn emulator that actually works. Other than the usual Nintendo emulators that everyone use it's just much easier to emulate everything else using Retroarch. Like waaayyyyy easier and convenient.
Adam Perry
on top of this you get parity with settings and parity across multiple devices including being able to easily have cross device saves.
I just wish they'd have a look at redoing the UI and not upsetting core devs
Samuel Johnson
I just want to emulate neogeo on android bros... But none of my roms run.

No
Cameron Carter
Can't you use FBN core for that?
Jaxson Foster
What other core is there for Saturn. Steam only shows that one and online updater doesn't show Yabause somehow.
Jaxson Adams
and you're posting a pic of inafaggot because....?

If the libretro core is outdated/not feature complete, which is nearly anything that's not 2D systems + 5th gen.

Use Beetle Saturn. I don't know if it's on Steam version, only certain ones are due to licensing, but you can just drag and drop the .dll and .info files for the Beetle Saturn core from standalone into the same folders in Steam and it will work the same.

Why does it look so bad?

If you're not gonna use Retroarch with Mednafen like a normal human being then just use SSF you fucking retard because everything else sucks dick.

I use it cuz I like having all my screenshots in one place. Haven't had much success with filters, though.
Aiden Watson
Because you're glued to your screen like a fucking retard, if you looked at a real CRT from the distance you look at your computer screen you wouldn't see shit either.

It's not there. At least for me.

even with the lastest bios dumps for mame, some neo geo roms just dont work

Redream. It just works, no need the tweaking of old like chankast and demul. Now that I think about it, Saturn emulation seems to be in the same place DC was last decade.
Blake Peterson
Dominic Rivera
Well it doesn't really matter, takes like 30 seconds to add it from standalone. Beetle Saturn is so much better than any other Saturn emulator. I think the only other core you want that isn't on Steam is MAME, MelonDS, and DOSBox Pure

MAME still has that consistency issue between versions?

Flycast core in RetroArch
If a game is updated (which rarely happens that much for relevant games any more), the set you need may change, but honestly you can just lock the core and only update it when you feel. Arcade Italia tells you all associated files needed for every game. I would just use FB Neo for anyhting that supports it, but MAME supports much more games (particularly newer ones)
Nolan Ortiz
Is there like a virus on your computers, where you're incapable of installing Retroarch AND the respective standalones? This isn't exactly an exclusivity thing, the fact that there's options should be something to celebrate.
It'd be like if someone made a brand new PS2 emulator that was even better than PCSX2, and some douchebag came in and cried "NOOOO THERE'S TOO MANY CHOICES, WHY CAN'T WE JUST HAVE ONE DEVELOPER?!"
Yeesh.

you need at least a mid 90 iq to use retroarch sorry bro
Alexander Green
Retroarch is good for everything up to Dreamcast.
Above that you get better results with standalone.
Caleb Wright
A better analogy would be if someone made a brand new PS2 emulator that was worse in every way than PCSX2 and there's a bunch of faggots constantly talking about how much better it is
Sebastian Diaz
Okay but why not just play the game on a CRT?
Cameron Wilson
i use it for everything except PS2 which i use pcsx2 and I use the stand alone version of mGBA because i don't think you can trade pokemon with the RetroArch version or if you can i don't know how.
James Lewis
>I would just use FB Neo for anyhting that supports it, but MAME supports much more games (particularly newer ones)
I remember using FBalpha and then just moved the games and run it through mame and they worked like a charm.... on the other hand, not all of them worked on another mame version.
Wyatt Allen
The analogy still fits, since you can still use the standalones. I know there's drama that happened with the duckstation dev, but that emu is finished, so you can use it regardless of what happened. Retroarch existing doesn't magically ruin any standalone emu.
Jonathan Lee
You can get all your games no matter the console with the same obscure and borderline autistic settings, that's the appeal.
Evan Miller
>which i use pcsx2
>which i use the only decent ps2 emulator
Thomas Perry
no but people constantly shilling it is annoying and zoomers are encouraging devs to go this same retarded closed system meme ui route.
Gabriel Hill
I despise everything about how retroarch's UI works, I don't care about the GUI and it's shitty Playstation looking shit
I want to just pick a game through the same windows UI I've used for 30 years, not some retarded shit made for phones and chinese knockoff handhelds
Ian Morgan
You don't get how demented people are, the average ZSNES or BSNESfag was insufferable a few years ago because people will pretend emulators are competing or whatever, it takes 5 minutes to find out if something is worth using and uninstalling is retard-proof if it's not but somehow this is a big deal that must be addressed because all the plebs are emulating wrong or something that no well adjusted individual gives a fuck about.
>shilling
Case in point, dementia on display.
Jaxson Parker
I heard retroarch is good for the achievements thingy
Isaiah James
Frame pacing. Frame pacing is shit most other emulators
Xavier Price

100% same. Virtual boy is the best emulator just because of this.

Which one of them? There's like 5 to choose from including a desktop mode.

I can't imagine why, aside from pretty filters, anyone would prefer this unless they're regularly playing shit for bizarre Jap PC's nobody's ever heard of. I'm sure it's changed since I tried it but it has the most fucking obnoxious UI I've ever seen, especially when it comes to keybinding
John Robinson
I'd only really use Retroarch if I were to build a nifty little all-in-one arcade system for a living room or something, but the GUI seems a little cumbersome from my brief time with it. Honestly, I'm still not clear on what it even is. It's just some unifying interface for a bunch of emulators, right? The only reason why I was thinking about using it was to emulate Saturn, but then I found mednafen and the CLI was much more straightforward.
Isaac Price
those still exist
Luke Jones
You would still be better off using SSF over mednafen.
Anthony Lewis
Worst UI ever imagined. It's like they tried to be retarded when they made it.
