    What is a disc image file? Also I’m trying to play smash bros melee but it keeps saying an error has occurred and it’s telling me to turn the GameCube off it don’t know what to do if anyone could help me that’d be great.

    • @Morsmalleo

      Disc Images files for GameCube games are called ".ciso" ROM files.
      If you come across GameCube ROM files that contain the ".nkit.iso" extension, do not use them as they're old, unstable and no longer used in GameCube Emulation.
      Confused? Here's something to help you below.
      Example:
      Game Name + correct filetype
      - *Spyro_A_Hero's_Tail.ciso*
      Game Name + incorrect file type
      - *Spyro_A_Hero's_Tail.nkit.iso*
      One website I can recommend to EVERYONE for Game ROM files that range from the old Saturn and Atari up to Playstation 2 and more (which of course include GameCube as well) is *"Vimm's Lair"*

    Is it normal that the core is slower than standalone version of dolphin?

    • @HowtoRetro
      @HowtoRetro  Před 3 měsíci

      It's not unusual for the retroarch versions to not perform as well as their standalone counterparts, as the standalones are often more optimised and are updated more frequently.

    Is there no menu for Gamecube games? You have to load them via 'Load Content'?

      You will find that the Steam version of RetroArch has a number of emulator cores retracted, which as @lucuador1992 says, you have to install manually.

      So if you go to I think the website, you can install every core, then you go to the cores folder found in the steam one, then you move the cores you want from the other one to the steam one, this manually imports them.
