So, I was looking for a faster way to do all of my scraping on my emulationstation/retroarch. Then I found this thing, which was scraping everything so quick. No need to wait for a long time and limit on emulationstation when you have this.
Thanks for any help
Just started minish cap on mGBA via retroarch. My in game save files are not being saved. I played about 15 minutes, saved via the in game menu. After reopening the game the save file is not there. I’ve tried several more times, to no avail. I pulled a rom from a different source, but get the same result. Other games with mGBA save just fine, only minish cap having issues.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Whenever I use Vulcan as my video driver, I get random slowdowns and audio glitches while playing. Also, the screen flickers to my desktop every time I change the volume.
Does anyone know what i can do to fix this?
Hey folks, the latest alpha of RetroCapture just dropped and it has the biggest set of new features in a single release so far. Quick recap for those new to the project:
▎ RetroCapture is a real-time video capture app for Linux and Windows that applies RetroArch GLSL shaders (CRT, NTSC, xBR, handheld, etc.) live to feeds from capture cards. It does HTTP MPEG-TS streaming, local ▎ recording (MP4/MKV/AVI), system-audio capture, and ships a full web portal. Cross-platform: x86_64 Linux + Windows, plus ARM64 (Pi 4/5) and ARMv7 (Pi 2/3/Zero).
What's new in 0.7.0-alpha
🔁 Shader-preserving distributed playback. This is the headline feature. Connect another RetroCapture instance to a running one as a Remote source and the receiving machine pulls the host's pre-shader feed plus a sidechannel of the host's current preset + parameters. The image renders with the exact same shader output on both ends. Live preset/parameter sync — change something on the host and the remote view follows in real time.
🌎 Public stream directory. Opt-in, one-click publish to directory.retrocapture.com. Other RetroCaptures see your stream in their in-app browser and connect with one click.
☁️ Cloudflare tunnels (Quick + Named). So the publish works behind CGNAT without portforwarding. Quick mode uses an ephemeral trycloudflare.com URL with no signup; Named mode persists under your own Cloudflare hostname. cloudflared is auto-downloaded with sha256 verification.
🔒 HTTPS / TLS everywhere. Directory and /raw connections default to https://. OpenSSL-backed with hostname verification + SNI. AppImage builds work out of the box (CA-bundle probing on startup).
⏺️ Recording pipeline parity + unified UI. Recording and streaming now share the same A/V sync engine, so they don't drift away from each other under load. Every Configuration tab adopts the same layout idiom.
⚡ Quick Actions OSD + Shortcuts helper. Pinned overlay with stream/record/browse/disconnect buttons reachable even when the main UI is hidden, plus a top-right keyboard shortcut reference.
🌍 Bilingual UI. English and Brazilian Portuguese, switchable at runtime.
Bug fix highlights
A real testing pass on /raw long sessions surfaced and fixed:

I’m currently playing through Link’s Awakening and the only way to save is to hit all the buttons at the same time… Well, doing this opens up the quick menu.
Every. single. time. It’s doing this because Back + start acts as if I press the guide button. So, I go to reset the hotkey with the delete key and it doesn’t go away. Is there any other way or work around you guys can give me?
It’s driving me nuts…
SOLVED: I ended up just going to the retroarch.cfg and setting the input_menu_toggle_btn to the value of 99. This worked since it’s not a recognized key anywhere.
I do think this should be a basic option in the menu however. Maybe in a future update.
I wanna play Rondo of Blood (for the 20th time) on my iPhone 15 now that I have an mcon controller that makes gaming on a phone actually fun. Iv tried various Bios files, converting the file to chd on my pc then transferring it to my phone and every core available for the PC engine CD. Iv also browsed similar threads to this topic and still haven’t found a solution. I’m thinking maybe it’s still something to do with my bios even though iv tried so many because it says firmware not found when I try some of the cores (I’m definitely putting my bios in the right place) any help would be great thank you.
I recently got retroarch running on my xbox series x. I'm not particularly tech savvy so I'd like some advice.
I've been running some games on melonds ds. When saving, I've been using the in game save function as well as the retroarch save state function. I've been having an issue loading the in game save as well as loading the state however. Ex: pokemon platinum just reloading the title screen when I hit continue. When I try to load the state, it just fails.
I've found conflicting info with this subs search bar so I'd appreciate some advice on the latest version. Should I just be using in game saves OR states and not both?
UPDATE: I have resolved the issue, it appears there was an issue with the DSi bios files. This has now been fixed.
Hello! I am attempting to run DSi games on Retroarch, however whenever I start the MelonDS DS core, it immediately closes Retroarch. I have all necessary BIOS and firmware files in order to get the core to run so I am confident that is not the problem. If anyone could help me out it'd be greatly appreciated!
Adjusting and editing on screen touch controls on the app is not straight forward like on every app, and requires a lot of searching and learning and Google asking, however, once you get the hang of it, you will find out that the controls on Retroach are the most responsive controls out of any app, you can easily pull off motion inputs and you will never put your finger on a blank spot by mistake whenever you try to touch a specific button.
still, an implemented in app pad editor or a standalone Retropad app that let you drag buttons around would be great addition
I'm playing Astal, and the game often dips into the low 50s. My real Saturn doesn't do this. Surely I'm using a beefy enough PC to maintain a stable FPS? I haven't changed anything from the default settings provided (using ES-DE on Win11). Are there some settings I need to tweak, or is this just to be expected with Saturn emulation?
I've tried the overcrop option in video settings but no luck.
Hi. I am having an issue with loading Sega Saturn games. I have all the BIOS files in the system folder. When I try to load a Sega Saturn game, RetroArch just goes to the Memory Manager Sega Saturn screen, and the game does not load. What am I doing wrong.
PS2 Cores not available, where can I find them and how do I install them? Also, will keyboard and mouse work for as controllers?
Chat am I cooked?
