Download the latest build https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/nintendo/switch/libnx/
The big RetroArch folder goes on root of SD.
The .nro goes into Switch/RetroArch/ (or it can just be in /switch, if you want to)

(Optional)
Install the .NSP, it's needed for N64. https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.7.5/nintendo/switch/libnx/RetroArch.nsp

If it still doesn't work we'll go deeper. There's not really a reason you'd have black screen unless something didn't install right or you're missing something.




Yeah, it may be "shoddy" But RetroArch has worked 100% as intended on my 2 switches, and all my friends/family's, using SXOS. You're just spreading shit info because TX is controversial. It's almost always user error when it comes to RetroArch not working. Other homebrew is a different story though, I agree on that.
BIG THANKS FOR THE HELP, NOW UP AND RUNNING :D

To give you all a update on the dynarec:
Horizon background work is all done too, but I don't have it running yet, so let's get Android and *nix out first ;)

Having trouble getting Mame2003-Plus to work. I am trying to load Blitz99 and I have the 0.78 rom and chd file (chd file in a subfolder of same name as rom). When I load the game in 2003 Plus, I get the copyright warning, then it loads to a static noise screen (black/white noise) and hangs.

Any tips for what I'm doing wrong? I have FB Alpha working properly, I just can't seem to get anything with a chd file to load into Mame2003 Plus.

Is it at all possible to clean up the menus? I'd love to have games display as "Pokemon Red" "Pokemon Blue" and not "Pokemon - Red Version USA (SGB Enhanced)" but if I change the names the thumbnails go away. I also hate the sorting... I have Sonic and Knuckles, as well as sonic 1 -3 as well as the combo carts sonic 1-3 + Sonic and Knuckles and it creates a nightmare of a display sorting. Is there no way to have a Sort Title and still have the Thumbnail show up?

Anyone here figured how to get the cheat search function to work. As in actually starting a memory dump.

I set my memory range for example to search 8bit but then I can't find anything to do a first scan.

What's the best way to upgrade RA? Get the nightly build and copy over existing files (but would that wipe out all your configs)...or use the Download Cores option?

I'd say manually download what you want to update but I find some cores ECT download ok but take the piss extracting, it can be terribly slow and even slows your system down big time.

Can the android version be added/merged into the Mupen64Plus FZ emulator on the play store? Sorry if that makes no technical sense, im no techie :) I use it as a emulator on my Nvidia Shield TV and wondered if the dynarec can be used there?

Hey y'all! Wondering if anyone can give me some insight as to why the Mupen64 core always crashes with a code 2168-0002 my Switch, while other cores run great (PCSX Rearmed runs better than on my PC!)

I have tried both exFAT and FAT32 formatting on my 64gb SD, both the latest Stable build and yesterday's Nightly for the base and core, running Retroarch from the NRO and the NSP, both GL and Switch graphics modes, every GUI, and multiple N64 ROMs. No difference. I always get a grey error screen, sometimes directly from a black screen after a speaker pop, sometimes after Retroarch quits and I get punted back to Atmosphere.
