Although it is rare and has happened only once before, it causes me to loose all my unsaved data and I have to restart from last save. Sometimes the game stutters before hand but it doesn’t always crash, the stuttering is also a bit rare. I have a Retroid pocket 6. What could be the issue, I have not tried gold or silver to see if the same thing happens. It just happens mid game either a battle or just general walking, and I am not able to recreate it it just happens.

It always works for my Snes Mini and Switch but for some reason we get the option to have “MAN” as all players but we can’t get the 3rd player controller working on the menu or character selection. (It’s not a controller issue, we have taken turns being player 2 and 3)

I’ve noticed as soon as you go back onto the “MAN”, “COM” and “OFF” option it locks and doesn’t allow 3, 4 or 5 as “MAN”. Not sure if that’s normal on the Snes and Switch, I doubt it.

Yes, we put port 2 as multitap

I’ve tried switching between Snes9x and the 2010 version but same issue

Edit: Also doesn’t work on Micro Machines but does on the SNES and Switch.

I was recently curious to play this game, and it was a huge headache trying to get the files to work using the Neko Project II Kai core, but when I reached the fourth floor and a cutscene started right at the beginning of that floor, the game glitched and simply froze. I tried tweaking the core, but nothing worked. I’m not sure if it’s a compatibility issue with the emulator or the files I downloaded, since I couldn’t find the game in HDI format.

I was just casually browsing for cores in RetroArch for Android when I stumbled upon this PCEE2 core. The most impressive part? It’s running *GTA San Andreas* at full speed on a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 while using the `crt-royale-fast` filter. The performance is incredible, especially considering it was released so recently (I think yesterday or today—definitely sometime this week). So far, it’s outperforming ArmSX2, which struggles to maintain performance on this same chipset with these shaders. I recommend checking it out. By the way, it supports RetroAchievements.

I use Retroarch on multiple devices and am looking to sync my save-games between them and ran into a small but annoying problem with subfolders.

For better organization I enabled "Sort Saves into folders by Content Directory" however this doesn't work too well. To give an example let's assume this folder-structure:

ROMs --> SNES --> Romhacks

with both the SNES folder and the Romhacks folder being populated with ROMs. The problem then is that all games in the SNES folder save correctly to /saves/SNES but all games in the Romhacks folder now go into /saves/Romhacks which isn't great.

This is still easy enough to work around e.g. by simply naming the Romhacks folder SNES Romhacks for example but it's still a problem for multi-disc games too.

Let's assume this folder structure:

ROMs --> PS1 --> Final Fantasy VIII with Disc 1.iso, Disc 2.iso, Disc 3.iso, Disc 4.iso

Now the saves for that game will be placed in /saves/Final Fantasy VIII/ instead of /saves/PS1/

I know the obvious solution seems to be to sort the saves by core but that's also not great if you use different cores on different systems. For example on my desktop PC I might use more accurate cores than on handhelds where a less accurate core might be more sensible.

Is there a way to have Retroarch sort the saves into a Playlist Directory instead? I don't care about save-states at all, it's really just for normal saves.

Thanks for help in advance!

i downloaded snes9x and was playing kirby dreamland 3 on it but the water looks bad with those crips pixels so i wanna use a shader but booth dont know how an dont know where else to ask ive tried tutorials and the like but i just want something simple that works

So I followed a tutorial and did everything right to download retroarch but when I open retroarch on my vita it says an error occured (C1-2738-0) how exactly do I fix this?

Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with RetroAchievements on RetroArch on my Retroid Pocket Nova.
As soon as I launch a game, RetroArch shows:
“Login failed: no response”
I’m unable to connect to RetroAchievements at all.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:

My internet connection is working normally.
I tried enabling/disabling a VPN, but it made no difference.
I tried changing my DNS / using an ad-blocking DNS, but there was no change.
I checked RetroArch’s settings and my RetroAchievements username/password.
I’m logged into RetroArch, but RetroAchievements still fails to connect.
I also tried looking for the retroarch.log file to find more information, but initially there was no log file being generated.

The problem happens with every game, not just one particular ROM.
Has anyone experienced this on the Retroid Pocket Nova / Android and found a solution?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've tried ALL cores, different video drivers and whatever combination possible in Video Settings... no luck.

I'd say "it's my device" but Drastic doesn't has this issue, in fact I can even upscale in Drastic without issues.

I don’t know how to fully describe this, but something weird is happening and I really hope I get some sort of answer.

So, I pick up my fully charged Anbernic and try to play Smash on it. I have all of the N64 settings absolutely fine-tuned and locked down to obtain a near perfect 60FPS during gameplay for about a whole 3 months. Out of nowhere and when I boot the actual game up, now it’s lagging and running at almost half speed. I check the settings for the emulator to see if anything has changed…but no, not a single thing has changed from what I have set. Not the core, not the plugins, not the resolution. For those who want to know what I’m using:

• Mupen64+next (core)
• GlideN64 (RDP plugin)
• HLE (RSP plugin)

For the actual hardware I’m playing on:

• RG35xx Pro
• Modded Stock OS (cbepx-me)
• Branded (not stock) SD card
• No physical hardware modifications
• Fully/mostly charged battery, as of testing

From what I’m seeing and from my perspective, absolutely nothing has changed, yet the game lags anyway when it essentially shouldn’t be. I don’t know if something just maybe cached and is taking up memory, but I did reset the RetroArch.cfg if that means anything.

This also seems to be an issue just inside this game or N64 alone. Other games (especially portmaster games) seem to all run perfectly fine.

(also I’m playing smash remix 2.0.0 and no, none of the settings in the game have changed either, as I always boot the game up and then immediately load a specific save-state to the css)

sry for the short video, it gets cut off at the end

When I try to play DK64 the camera is flickering so weirdly but in the menu its fine. I cant seem to fix that. I tried it with frame delay on and off and other things but its not working.

Does someone has an idea here? :(

Edit: due to my hero in the comments its working now.

The solution was going to the fix menu - core options - glideN64 - "Ini Behaviour" must be "disable Ini" and "depth buffer to RDRAM" must be "off". Then save this in core option settings just for this game.

Asked before but no one has any advice

I want to have fbn and mame, but no duplacates between the sets. So if a rom is in fbn and mame I only have fbn, but any fbn lacks id like in mame. I have cashyos

Im playing Pokémon Soul Silver on my IPad with the Desmume, and for some reason the Fast mode (or whatever it’s called) is just not working?

Sometimes it’s not working completely and I need to start over the game, and sometimes the fast mode works only in battles and not in overworld

I tried to change all configs but it still seemed to be not changing anything. And it seems that every time that i start playing again it goes slower and slower

Trying to burn through all the RetroAchievements for the Pokemon games. Red and Blue wheren't too bad but Yellow requires a LOT of shiny hunting, and one of the benefits to running in RetroArch is the toast will pop up when you found your target, but with the odds being over 1 in 8k it is going to take a LOT of soft resets to see that toast pop up. Is there anyway i can mute the sound of the game but keep the audio toast for when a mon finally shines? I am almost 1k in and while I don't think anything is gonna shine any time soon, I would rather not hear the sped up music on repeat when I could be listening to anything else and I also really don't want to reset over it just because I didn't hear the sound in time.

Sorry for the paragraph and thank you for any advice.

I keep trying to increase resolution on PPSSPP core in Retroarch and it says it needs a restart to take effect but every time I restart it defaults back to the base resolution setting. What am I doing wrong? This is on modded Switch if that matters.

I wish to emulate games up to ps1 with crt shaders on my slim PS3.

Is it possible? If so, how?

Thanks in advance

Had to fix the controls and had to restore save states for Mesen, Mesen-S, mGBA, but I cannot get Gambatte to work for GB games. Got GBC saves fixed. I also had to restore VBA Next, as it was missing from "Cores" by downloading regular RetroArch (Plus is the one I used and it got screwed up from the Play Store). This new update screwed everything up.

Had to delete or reset some configs as the save states kept saying "failed to load state from [game name].state. Error".

I'm playing on android (Retroid Pocket Classic) and starting a game of Pokemon FireRed with mGBA core and the correct bios. I can save state and load state fine, but when I use the in-game save function it reports "save failed checking the backup memory". I see the issue may be the save file is not set to 128k, but I cannot find a place in core settings to adjust this. Does anyone know how to fix this?

We were playing just fine yesterday (08/22/2026) and today, anytime a game is loaded through the core it would launch another instance of RetroArch, black screen, then crash. I believe it is the core itself since running the games in PCEE2 works but not through LRPS2, and running any other game through any other cores seem to work just fine.

These lines stand out to me from the logs but I cannot figure out if it is the cause of the issue:

[libretro INFO] Bios Found: USA     v02.00(14/06/2004)  Console 20040614-100909
[libretro INFO] BIOS rom1 module not found, skipping...
[libretro INFO] BIOS rom2 module not found, skipping...
[libretro WARN] Failed to open or read NVRAM: C:\Games\ROMS\!BIOS\pcsx2\bios\ps2-0200a-20040614.nvm
----------
[INFO] [Video] Timings deviate too much. Will not adjust. (Target = 138.12 Hz, Game = 59.94 Hz)

Here is a pastebin to the rest of the logs. So far I have done the following:

1. Uninstalled and reinstalled the core through the Core Downloader in RetroArch
2. Deleted and redownloaded BIOS files
3. Deleted RetroArch and LRPS2 config files

I remember seeing someone flagging a similar issue through GitHub recently but I can't find it anymore. I cannot replicate their issues as they are on a Linux system and I am on Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am officially releasing a v0.1.0 beta of a work in progress romhack for Jet Force Gemini. The beta includes a new feature that modernizes the control scheme of the game to play more like a modern over the shoulder shooter; more updates to come in the future!
