So i was playing Pokemon Black for days with no problem, i only save in the game and not use save stats etc. Today i was playing, saved and stopped. Now i opened the app and it only shows new game. Wheres my save? I cant find any solutoon. I didnt change anything. I literally just turned off the app and the ipad and now the save is missing
I recently started setting up my retroarch but for some reason the GameCube games I add don't show up in the main menu like my GBA and Nintendo 64 games the only way I can access the games is through the history tab any idea what could be causing this ?
Melonds DS with megal bezel shaders while running 4x Native
I've noticed these bugs happen mostly after I fast forward the game or try to give a lot of inputs when the game is loading (when retro achievements load on boot, it lags for a second or 2)
anyways here's the log

RetroArch is great, but why not let users run .exe files (for windows users) or .AppImage files for Linux users? Better yet, why not let us run anything? Just add a button called "Add an Executable." Why can't we have the freedom to launch whatever we want, not just ISOs or emulator related files? The answer shouldn't be, "Because RetroArch is only for playing retro games." I'm just asking for the freedom to run whatever I want through RetroArch's XMB.
I acknowledge that maintaining RetroArch might be stressful, but if I had the freedom to run any executable, I would also use my already installed emulators, which support fullscreen mode.
Like, we could have a custom section where all our random software that we want to access through RetroArch is stored.
When i tried to download ANY core download stuck at 0% and not any progress is ever made. WHAT SHOULD I DO????
I just found this Core as Experimental Core but I tried to look for Info and When last Updated but had no Luck on Finding Anything.
Can anyone Help me find that Info?
As well as other Core’s on Retroarch to Check?
So some preface: I'm trying to create the same save structure following Knulli's save format (E.g. All GBA saves goes into 'saves/gba' instead of 'saves/gpSP' or 'saves/mGBA'). Reason for this is because Knulli keeps resetting my settings.
So I decided to manually set each core's save directory to the respective Knullie structure (gpSP and mGBA to 'saves/gba' and Swanstation PCSX ReARMED to 'saves/psx').
However now I've hit another wall, my retroarch on my android phone does not follow my directory settings. I have no overrides loaded yet it ignores my settings.
My Pokemon Unbound for example uses a save file from a few months ago, meanwhile my current save is already in 'saves/gba'.
What's going on? Also is there a better way to homogenise my save structure for Syncthing?
Running into kind of an odd problem. RA Android (latest nightly), Metal Slug 2, FBNeo Core, a setup that has worked well for me many times. But on a new handheld I'm setting up, MS2 boots right into the service menu for some reason, and I can't seem to exit it. There are no prompts on any screen to exit, all I can do is cycle through the various tests with start. I have tried mapping a "diagnostic input" button combo in core options, but this does nothing. I've also tried other suggestions from threads I found, like connecting a keyboard and pressing tab, which also did nothing. I am also using the same rom that worked for me previously.
Oh, and I also tried loading an old mid-game savestate I had, and it starts playing the right music and sound effects, but no sprites load in-and then it goes right back to the service menu after a second.
Update of my Custom Shader "LCD Master" for RetroArch Android, using Vulkan as Video Driver.
It's an optimization/improvement + new "shimmer" effect update. Still working on it.

PS: Excuse touch controls 🤕
I'm having an issue with RetroArch. I've researched a lot about this before posting, but here I am since I can't find any solutions.
So the problem has been asked before, but that was 5 years ago and there was no definitive answer then, so I'm hoping there is now. I've read he whole LibRetro documentation page regarding inputs, yet nothing was mentioned about D-Input and X-Input and their features.
Now, I know when you connect a N64 compatible controller through a Raphnet converter (n64 to USB, V3), the signal is automatically D-Input no matter what. Everything's fine, the controller works on RetroArch but rumble function is off. When rumble is supposed to occur, I get frame-drops instead (if I select no Pak in the core options, there's no frame-drops).
I came to realise that RetroArch does NOT support rumble through D-Input. All the sources I found regarding this are 5+ years old though and the documentation mentions nothing. In the 5 years past, is there any progress in that regard? Or was RetroArch never supposed to support D-Input in the first place?
I'm trying both on pc and android for shoujo kakumei utena, only beetle saturn works and it lags a lot

Im using RetroArch 1.22.2, on Android 16 Samsung S25. When loading any roms from any system, I just get a black screen and nothing happens. If I load the same roms on my pc, it works. What can I do?
I was looking to get the achievements for the Saturn version of Rayman 1 and the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2 via RetroAchievements, but for some reason, even with the BIOS files, these games won't save (I'm using the Yabause and Flycast cores).
One of the most well known fact about RetroArch is that it's Dolphin core was extremly outdated, and was several years behind the mainline emulator. Was. Because since the end of last year, it has been deeply maintained and updated, thanks to it's hardworking devs. But it saddens me that their efforts aren't appreciated and talked about enough compared to many other emulators. Infact if you search about it, Google's "recalling and repeating machine" will recall and repeat, lol, severely "outdated" facts, when in truth, works were done on it as recent as 5 days ago.
As for my experiences on both device, both can run Green Man's Scary House extremely well on my AYN Thor, with no crash and a solid and stable fps. And the best thing about RetroArch is the many shaders and filters you can use within it. But of course, there are still caveats, so choose the one that works best for you.

Reasons to stick to Dolphin standalone:
Overall, the Dolphin core is a solid alternative to the standalone version now, a big thank to everyone who helped building it!
SDL3 support was added recently in the RA nightlies. Theoretically it has improved input latency over SDL2 and others. Has anyone done any comprehensive testing comparing SDL3 vs other input methods yet?
I spent a lot of time comparing some of RetroArch's best CRT shaders side by side, including how they look in actual gameplay. If you're trying to decide which one to use, this might save you some time.
Why does retroarch need to save all its files in an inaccessible location on Android? I understand this wasn't the case previously but there doesn't seem to be any solution on newer android builds. I am so frustrated with the inability to load custom shaders or even delete a saved preset. I'd like to be able to add a custom shaders folder right next to all the others or at least be able to navigate to it wherever it is and load a preset but once I open the folder in retroarch nothing is there. Can someone enlighten me why it needs to be like this or what I can do? Android 16 Pixel 8 Pro
If I hold Y he does... That. And when I hold X he shakes. Idk what to do.
