Great tool! Works fantastic for me. Does the citra core also work for regular ds games to? Retroarch added the melon ds core awhile back but I only see the citra option available.

I'll add it as a preset soon. In the meantime, you can manually specify the file path to the melon ds core.

For DS, the standalone melonds is much better than its retroarch counterpart, you should use that instead unless your game can be playable at slow peace. On the other hand, afaik it can't be used with forwarders to specific games, sorry.

I might just do that. I keep getting an error trying to load the game with the nsp. Works in retroarch fine but not when I generate the nsp. I double checked everything was correct and it's just not working all other nsp I made work fine. So I can live with this failed attempt 😆.

Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but I can’t seem to select the prod.keys file from mobile (iOS) either on iPhone or iPad. I have tried multiple browsers. Any workaround and/or might I be doing something wrong lol?

Is it possible to create a forwarder that forwards to a Retroarch playlist/section? I can create a forwarder that opens for example a single SNES game via Retroarch. but I'm curious if it is possible to make a nice forwarder that opens all my SNES list so I can select the game myself. I want a nice SNES icon that will give me all SNES games. same for NES/PSP/N64 etc.

Or is there maybe another nice way of doing this?

I tried NTON but the --playlist argument didn't work for me.

I don't think is possible for Retroarch.

I can use standalone emulators with forwarders, there is no other way?

It would need to be a feature supported directly by RetroArch, that is, specifying a directory instead of a ROM path to show the directory listing when RetroArch boots up. You could ask for it as a feature request on their issue tracker (or perhaps there's already an existing issue - be sure to do a search on their issue tracker).

I just read the documentation and Retroarch do not have command line option lo load a playlist. only to load a rom or a CFG file. and on Switch only to load a rom with a specific core.
