Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had trawled youtube for a day to find out how to install and set up retroarch for my autistic son. I spent hours watching and following step by step to no avail until i found your tutorial and bingo i managed to get it working thanks to you. The other tutorials were very good but technical terms lost me but yours for me, an elderly lady was easy to follow. Peace has returned to the household thanks to you. ❤🇬🇧

Hey thanks I've been watching several of your videos on retro-gaming. I really appreciate it. You make good easy-to-follow videos.

Having the video in the left corner of the screen, then following in the app on the right part of the screen worked great for me 👌 Thanks for the vid!

dude, legit work, ive faulted on this for the longest and wanted it done, subbed and liked ,and passed on to others!

Thank you this made it so much easier and I love the menu theme. reminds me of the PS3/PSP

Very easy to understand how to setup, and not long likr the other vids on this topic I've found. Thanks! Subscribed!

Thank you thank you thank you. For your time, your effort and your consideration of others that led to this video. Well done, stay great. These are traits of a genuine good man

I will definitely be back to this video when I get around to installing retroarch, great video subscribed as well because definitely DESERVED

This is easily the most I intuitive and user-friendly tutorial I have for RA I have seen to date. Excellent work, and thank you. You just earned yourself a sun 😊 RA started acting up for me a few years back when they did the ugly grey screen update - the joypad button config got messed up so jump and fire got merged and couldn’t be separated - so I went back to using individual emulators for each system, which worked, but was a hassle. If RA is working again now and the pretty ‘it’s not the PS3 menu, honest’ is back I think I’ll start using it again. 👍😀

Thank you so much, one of the best tutorials out there :)

Thank you for this super informative and easy to follow guide. Made installing RetroArch on my new Legion Go such a breeze!

I pre-ordered the ROG Ally, I'm watching Retroarch setup videos for emulation on the ROG Ally. This is the best one I've found, clear, concise, and quick . Thank you.

This is the first time watching your video, and it is the best walkthrough for setting up retroarch. Thank you very much.

The Best Retroarch tutorial EVER! I've given up many times with other tutorials. I've done it with yours.... Perfect!!

I used to play Earthbound and a few other games back in the late 2000s, and I finally came back to emulation. This makes it all sooooo much easier. Thank you for your tutorials, I'm also psyched to try out the Pokemon Mini emulator because I always wanted to play them as a kid, but they were so expensive.

My dude, thank you for all the info.

Holy crap this worked i was so stumped with the menu thanks :D

Thank you very much! This video is incredibly helpful.

This is amazing! Now I can show off all the systems in style to my little cousin 👍 thank you sir

I have always been confused by retro arch so I never used it. this video is sogood and simple. Now I know what I am doing!

Great video 👍

thank you pal!!

Thank you, this was a great help! The xmb interface is gawd-awful, but still thank you for the video :) You are awesome.

Best guide outta the bunch. All those other guides on KZfaq? Trash, they suck don't bother with them. This guy though? Literal perfection incarnate. I appreciate the help. Kudos~!

Your videos are, by far, the best tech help I have seen! Thank you for what you do. Do you have a video on the best cores or how to get the best cores for Arcade / Mame? I have had difficulty with Arcade roms in the past.

Great video mate, made retroarch easier to use

Amazing, quick and clear tutorial! Greetings from Brazil, all the best!

thanks a lot ,wery informative , Insta sub and like /regards from Denmark /Michael

sweet bro ty

Hey Simple, I'm so glad I found your channel. I recently bought a retro console called Retro PX4 it basically uses Retroarch as its main program to emulate. It currently has the common games and Emulator NES, Mega Drive etc. I want to load Nintendo DS onto it, is a question of simply removing the SD card and following this video?, except in my case I'm going to load Nintendo DS. Your response will be highly appreciated brother.

thank you so much

Nice thanks

Great video! Thanks for the help! There's some things that I'm wondering, For example i can't seem to figure out why i can only use my mouse to back in something, when playing a DS game and using the ''stylus'' which is my mouse is just keeps on switching the screen positions & i tried a DS game and it's really laggy but on Desume it's smooth, so i wanna try completing the game on Desume and transfer my save file into RetoArch, if i do that would i still manage to get all achievements that i would of had?

Thank You so much

Thanks for setting me back 3 or 4 days of all the work I did changing this to this stupid interface that I couldn't get back to where

The best RETROARCH full setup guide for 2023 ! Many tnx.

Where do you get your games? I thought my game library from my ZSNES would be able to be added but it can't. do you ahve any suggestions?

Hi great video Do we have download system / bios files for Retroarch or do we just need to download cores for games and emulator to work proper ??? Thanks

Super duper helpful

amazing vid - only thing is you do not have to keep exiting out. At lease I did not have to!!! thumbs up!!!!

So when I go to get roms do I have download each game individually one by one? great video btw

Loving the videos. Got most set up now. I do have 1 problem when i download the boxart they never show up in the games list and in the folder there is only 1 thumbnail. Do you have any advice to fix this please.

Few questions..what are your recommendations per each emulator in this setup?(meaning let’s say I want a gba or DS emulator) what one should I pick? Would be awesome to have a recommendation list for all consoles on here cause there is multiple for same consoles and I bet most like me don’t wanna download multiples to test out before they get one they like. Next one is I know you said you think standalone emus can be better but do you think there is a big drop off in quality using this to play all the diff emus or should I just stick with standalones? And when you download the “cores” on here is it the same ones as the standalones? (Meaning if I downloaded lets say citra for example is it actually citra or just a hosted client for it?) sorry for all the questions but would love to have them answered cause I’m putting together a pc strictly for emulation for my kids

hey i did everything you said and i got all my games and everything but when i went to go play them retro arch just closes and no game loads and it dont matter wich game i tried them all so can someone help me please

Thank you so much. this worked for me exactly as you explained.

Word of advice for some better visuals when setting up the library. It's best not to add a playlist the way you added it. If you instead use the GUI and basically do the same, scan you ROM location, it'll assign a console icon to the top for a better look, it'll add the NES cartridge for the games icon instead of the rocket and it'll have better luck adding the boxart usually. Some of the GUI's will also replace the cartridge with the box art. You can confirm this has worked by going into same desktop window and you'll see the Famicon icon instead of just a file icon. You can then set the main LibCore from a right click drop down.

is there a way to change the overlay for 3DS games or are they stuck in that one format?

Hey thanks for the tutorial! One thing tho I can get to the part I need to download a core and it starts fetching but that’s all it never stops fetching the core list. I’m wondering if that just could be the app itself or if it's down as of now.

Where to download games for the emulator?

it said it was missing a pcxs2/bios folder and so i made one. it says it has no issues. but when i go to launch the game it says could not load content....any help?

new to the pc world and looking into emulators, question is ( prob obv) would i need an antivirus before downloading ? If so which one or what features would you guys recommend ? i thank you in advance !!

Uncanny x-men was the best bro this takes me back

question, where did you get the games? was it from vimm?

Thanks 👍🏻🇨🇦🍻

Thanks for the video! But also, does anyone know what song this? Joint is fire!

Which core to download for PS1 games or dreamcase games?

How do you set up a basic Nintendo controller in the settings menu? Trying to map the A and B Button. Please make a video showing how to set up the nes controller

Honestly this guy deserves A lot of subscribers(like 1.5m)

You are my main channel when I have any emulator questions. Stay strong. Appreciate the info and hard work.

So im using this method for my Saturn.chd files but i keep getting a failed to load message and no game starting, what am i missing?

very nice tutorial

I thank you for this video, it helps a lot on my games for me to play. I got NES, SNES, N64, PSP, and PS2. But... But PS2 games won't play for some reason. Yes I followed every step of the instructions to the tee. all the games work but the PS2 :(

Thx you

I'd like to know how everyone found out which BIOS to use for which core. I downloaded two PS1 cores and according to the wiki/guide the PS1 bios files. Put them in Retroarch/system, renamed them as the readme suggests. Go to run game and nothing happens. RA just closes.

you a goat

About recording, with the "no loss" setting the mkv video quality it's perfect, but the size is too big.. what other setting should I try to make a lighter video but with the least possible quality loss?

is there a way to set controller buttons to save state AND load state? ppsspp allows you to do that is there a core that allows you to play PSX games on PSP?

I find this funny how I’m using this guide to set up my retroarch on my psp

I was having trouble with my mesen emulator there just isn't any sound so I came looking for a setup vid for RetroArch instead and heard urcasualgamers voice under this different channel I thought I was trippin I have that voice memorized from all the help from him with all my other emulators lol why is there two channels with very similar content?

you the mf man thank you bro

Hey simple. Great video straight to the point no messing around. I have a problem though, i downloaded the ps2 core, and copied exactly what you did with your nintendo one (i did it with LRPS2 ) and anytime i try and load any of my Ps2 games i keep getting a failed to load content message appear, any idea of why this is?
