Hopefully you find this video helpful! Thanks for watching!
I did everything you said but games won't load and where do you download games from? You need to be more specific when doing tutorial videos
@@iceman60101 i believe he can't legally mention that part, unless you have a physical copy of the game you want to play and rip it and dump it into your phone, otherwise he can't mention the other way for, well, legal purpose. there are tons of emulators in retroarch who each have tons of games it would take forever to show where to get all of them, find any website that distributes ROM dumps depending on the system you want to emulate, they're pretty easy to find
May i ask you sir?. How to activate stylus (touch screen) on ds emulator in retroarch?.. Please i need the touch screen mode to play monster rancher
Hello sir how good is this emulater
I have performance problems, with ds, any config change to fix the problem
The developer of this app should classify cores according the name of their consoles just to make it easy for normal people to understand these weird names.
They should have sorting settings like
Oldest
Newest
By company
By console
Ect
But they are giving you the model of the console and credits to the emulator makers
@@cliffordjayrequillo3761 Well, I dont understand it
@@cliffordjayrequillo3761 They could still give that info, and have it separated by console type
yeah, and then nintendo will sue and no more retroarch
Awesome! Found the info I was looking for: the gamepads!
Thanks! I've been intimated by RetroArch for awhile but figured I needed to dive in and finally learn how to use it. Your video got me through the humps and now I'm ordering a Razer Kishi to keep myself entrained during a flight
THANK YOU, finally someone actually doesn't skip these steps
I think that the words helpful and informative are what best describes this channel
Really helpful especially since I kinda felt intimidated by how many cores there were at first
Definitely a must watch if you're still a newbie like me
I can't find my games 😂
@@samuelbaker8724 ayo same 😔
Haha I'm trying to go along as the video does. I subscribed just yesterday and clicked on this because I was curious
@@samuelbaker8724 have you figured it out?
@@rainy5517 have you figured it out?
You saved me hours of searching around. Thanks! Great video!!
really helpful thanks for the time putting this together on an easy tutorial
Mr. Sujano, I just can't thank you enough! Words cannot describe the overwhelming feeling of joy I'm going through right now! Tested and working flawlessly 👍🏽👍🏽 Thanks so much!
This helped me so much! I downloaded this on my chromebook but the files didn't work and I couldn't find the right ones, now I know what to do, thank you so much!
Thank you for your time in this.
Thank you for this guide, I am ashamed to admit that I have been more than just a bit intimidated by Retro Arch and have been putting it off in favor of other standalone Emulators...
Nothing to be ashamed of! Retroarch takes awhile to warm up to. Thanks for watching!
Same 😔😔😔
Where do I get the roms?
So retroarch is just a organizer and cores are the emulators?
@@Legend_Dale Yeah with a few subtle differences you could take as ether quality of life improvements or minor hindrances...
Like instead of having every core having it's own GFX settings there's just one universal one that you have to adjust anytime you want something different...
If you already know what you like this can be a headache, but if you have no idea or just like playing around with the settings RetroArch is MUCH EASIER!
10/10 tutorial. Worked so well that the app crashes when I try to play a game
Very useful information. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the updated version
omg thank you for this tutorial
thanks, I've been struggling with this app for a while now
Thank you bro!!! This video is very helpful.
Thanks for the guide, I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the help, very effective and easy, thanks buddy.
Thanks for info! liked and subbed right away :D
Thank you so much it helped 💕 :)
I just left a like. And for the record, it's because I like the video. Thanks
I appreciate your time bro.
This video was very informative really
Thank you for your instructions
I now can use the app
It doesn't work
Thank you so much, this helped me with the complicated stuffs that needs to be done in order to play the game
That was so extremely painless. You rock dude. Tell me how to do my taxes next! Thanks for the tutorial. You earned a like and subscribe and a bell.
Nice video. Very good information
My set up for android gaming is a razer kishi as my controller. Then , Thanks to your video about the reset collection, I use that in combination with retroarch. I just love how the reset collection scrapes it's pictures and videos. I use redream for dc and will never use another dc emu.
I have a 2017 Nvidia Shield and honestly I am flabbergasted at how effortless things like Saturn and Dreamcast emulation are given there PC counterparts requirements...
Very well explained.
You're so helpful 😭😭😭 thank you!!! Instant sub.
Oh gosh I was expecting something insane but it's not really giving me any more hassles that MyBoy / MyOldBoy gave me. Time to download some PS2 and DS games. Thank you again haha 😂
Very good thanks a lot 👍👍👍👍👍
Very helpful!
I get to load content and navigate to the unzipped folder with the ROM but it isn't visible within Retroarch. In file manager they are there. Tried both MAME Cores.
thank you now i know what to do :D
Sujano,thanks very much
Retro Arch is great, but it took a exile to figure out. I could not get it to search my external, so I copied roms to internal...it has 128gb, so no problem. Thanks and I definitely will subscribe
Is this for only sega games? Cant we play psp games?
Whenever I try to play a game the app just freezes for a few seconds and closes
thnx again seen you on reddit
Thank you so much
You da man Thanks I downloaded app and I'm like Wtf Is this 🤣 what else can I say you saved the day today
its kind of menazing, and I already had a good n64 and gba emulators, but when you understand the emulator is much easier to use this rader than looking for an emulator and testing diferent ones. p.d english isnt my main languages so sorry for the nasty spelling
this is so helpfull i was originally only was gonnna play gba games but i can play nintendo ds games to now i can play pokemon white :D
Thanks for the video . it is quite informative . Anyway, could you please tell me that how can I change the button size and it's place?
Awesome thank you
Which core can i use for Digimon Rumble Arena? Already tried Bandai & Sony PS, both not working
Where can I get the roms for it? The roms for retroarch-pc version did not work out.
Thanks man👍👍
Huge thanks!!!!
Very nice video. One question. I downloaded a core.but when i try find it in my device I can't. Any suggestions?
I moved FFVII into downloads as a .zip file, but it didnt let me play it. Should i move it as an extracted file instead?
You're amazing 🙂
Hey, bro. I have a question..
(I'm new to all of this, so I am definitely one of the ones you mentioned that may find all this intimidating)
So on the Powkiddy X28 (which runs on Android 11 btw) the games are downloaded and played off of an app called Happy Chick, and from what I've seen, one can only play the games on the app.
I was wondering, is it possible to go into Retro Arch and find the games that are saved on the Happy Chick app and play them using Retro Arch?
And would it be possible to save those games to a folder to be able to play them straight off the X28? And not have to go through the Happy Chick app?
My app does not have the dreamcast core. Any idea on how to get it? Do I need the retroarch plus app?
Need this ...
enjoy!
Vor Beginners? The scanning alone does not work to get all the games on my memory card to play it on Android like here. Is there a Video where it is explained step by steb?
How do you get the keyboards up on various platforms, say Amiga and dos? Thanks.
I got it 😄 I'm gonna use it for SNES, NES, NDS, Sega Genesis. 😁
For GBA games, I'm using PizzaBoy Advance (GBA) 😄
Just so many good games from my childhood, and now I'll be able to pass down the best gaming experiences from the golden age of games, when games had no dlc, and everything was included in the full version of the games, and pay to win was NOT a thing 🤩 Also game stories were FUN! 😁
I am having the best time 😆❤
Pizza boy is good but the best is Mgba core on retroarch it’s the most accurate
i have RetroArch Plus on my computer and it works fine
Very cool video, should PS2 games run on a Redmi pro 8 6gb ram? Which core would you recommend me for PS2?
Thank you. This was indeed helpul. Somehow this is the only emulator that was possible to map the buttons of my gamepad (ìpega 9076). Tried Snes9x EX and SuperReto16 and it would´t recognise the controller (tried the 2 modes of the controller, both were paired to the phone, it was possible to navigate the mobile with the controller but when I was mapping nothing happened.
Thanks for this video! I can't download any core on my Android 9 phone on both versions of Retroarch. Every attempt to download a core fails. On my Android 6 phone I can download some cores but not any for Amiga, N64, PS1, DOSBox, and Finalburn. I was going to copy the cores form my Android 6 phone to the other which doesn't download any cores, but I can't find where the cores are stored. If I go to Settings-->Directory-->Cores it states that they are located in /storage/emulated/0/RetroArch but they aren't there. I used a file browser to browse and search every folder on the phone and can't find the location of the cores. Where are they stored?
THANKS!
If you don’t mind me asking how do i add games
I have an nvidia shield pro 19
When I click on a core it just backs out
Working perfect on FireTV Cube with ps4 Controller
Thanks!

So if I was to play Metal Gear Solid on the android emulator, would it have a "swap discs" option?
I'm not sure for 100% but most of emulator have that option in settings.
quick question. do u need to provide your own bios files for this?
Have you found out if you need to? I can't seem to find out how to use this app. I thought once you download the core it will come with the games
I accidentally downloaded a wrong core how do I delete it please
The only problem is that I have to change the controls everytime I switch cores, how do I save it for each core?
This worked great on my S9+
I got a note 20 ultra now and no dice whatsoever. Just keeps crashing or freezing.
Im trying to play rondo of blood and I cant find the right core, when I use other cores and open the file it says file not recognized:(
Pls help, im using retroarch plus but when i play an n64 game it does work but the only problem is i dont know where the c stick is pls help :(
how do i get the beautiful interface they advertise on their website?
@Mr. Sujano
Hi,
Where the blaze can we download the games?
And why do you not tell it in the video?
Regards,
Thomas from Belgium
Retroarch doesnt allow me to load roms from sd card, can only load from internal phone storage. How to fix this?
Im trying to play marvel vs capcom 2 using a mame core. I already see the file and stuff but when I open it, it just says “initializing...” then freezes and crashes. How do I fix it? Does it need to have a specific file type?
Can you play retro arch gaming emulator offline, multiplay, install mods to some games, and back up data where you can continue your existing data with your gaming process on other devices?
How to download it on sdcard directly?
You're the best
@Mr. Sujano
Hi,
How does one remap a keyboard on the Android version?
It's for Ms-DOS games.

Will the rewinf fun function still work in the dig app?
how should i put roms on my phone? connecting it to my pc or straight off the browser on the device? thank you in advance
andriod 11 will not support apps like retroarch access to your sd card. games will have too be loaded through internal storage until things are updated
Just wanna ask why i dont have any controller option in overlay folder. Do i need to download it? Where? TIA :)
