Well that wasn't succeeding for me earlier.

Still don't know what Ozone is or how to access it either.
Ozone is the new menu driver you've been seeing around for a while To enable it : 1. Update your assets using the Online Updater 2. Go to Settings > Driver > Menu Driver and set it to ozone 3. Restart RetroArch p.s. your switch has to be able to go online for this to work

Okay.. Ozone looks a lot nicer and clean, but now I can't figure out how to do collections. Every time I scan, it comes up empty.

Really guys, build collections on the PC using playlist buddy. Look into the history.lpl in your retroarch dir after playing some games to get an idea of what such a file has to look like.

How do I use make use of actual in-game saves?
The new nightly fixes things but to be sure (because I don't know which build you're using) be sure to quit the game via "close content" instead of killing it through the home button.

You guys should use Games in PBP-Format and the Bios files in the system folder. Rayman and Crash Bandicoot are running without any problems.
I have tried to run games in PBP i can not get it to work. I think i have the right bios file(pspbios_v07c) and converted my games to PBP files with psx2psp_v1.4.2 but the games crashes on startup and some times retroarch crashes. So maybe im doing something wrong. it works good with iso and cue files.

Stop using games with more than 5 tracks

I think it's easiest to convert these multi-track games with daemon tools and imgburn into a single image file and turn them into pbp as needed

Okay new question... I'm using the NSP version of Retroarch. If I hit the home button, the game game seems to keep running in the background, can hear the music and stuff like that. Is this supposed to happen?

Yes.
You can open the menu and use Home if u want to pause it.

I always finish games via the quick menu / quit retroarch and when the menu is reloaded via home and quit software

The link in the OP redirects to the official and latest compiled RetroArch NSP.
The nightlies (today: "2018-10-30_RetroArch.7z") do not contain an .nsp file, only *nro. RetroArch as *.nsp only appears in the latest stable build or appear somewhere in the internet...

Again, there is no stable NSP.
It's just always that path, the NSP is always updated. Check the timestamp already

As m4xw and Muxi pointed out, the NSP found in the "Stable" section is updated regularly.
You have to check the time frame of the file's creation.
The NSP shows 2018-10-28, which means it was compiled and created this past October 28th, so that's the newest NSP that exits RA automatically when you close the NSP down as you would for any Switch game.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
