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.

    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate

    at least on steam

    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost

  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
