Hi all not sure if I can ask for help here just had a question. I installed retroarch last night, downloaded the cores I want, but no matter what I do and what game I launch it just has “no cores available”. Is there a step im missing ?

Just to add to what godreborn said, also download the core info files, as well as assets, databases (and dolphin.zip if you're planning on using that), then save the config, exit, and boot back up. Without the core info files, RA doesn't know what file to associate with a core, so you will get that error when trying to run a game.

Thanks I was going to wait till after work to bring it up again but still wasn’t working even after updating, this might be it. I can do it all from the retroarch app once installed or do I need to download those files on pc and transfer them to the Xbox ?

Managed to get everything working , all my roms load from NES to Dreamcast. Except GameCube/dolphin still not working. Just takes me back to the main menu no matter what game I try to load :(

Might be a bios problem.

it can't be, no. some of the cores do require bios. there's a link somewhere with all bios for every system needed for retroarch.

Got it working I believe it was the bios files after all. Thank you very much :)

Only question I have now is is GameCube meant to run near perfect on series s so I know if I should play with the settings or suffer the slight frame rate issues I’m getting atm with wind waker. Nothing game breaking but if I can fix it why not.

Sorry if it’s been asked I’m sure it has. But would it matter if I used a usb thumb drive or external
Hdd or both load the same ? Either way will be usb 3.1 of course

I don't know. probably, but you're still limited with usb ports. I put games I'm going to play on the m2, just for added ssd speed even though I know that it won't be able to use the speed of the m2, it will likely be faster as an ssd though. I just used two hdds I had for other things, and you must use a different hdd or flash drive for retroarch and xbox games. I don't think there's currently any way to access an xbox formatted drive, but you can freely ftp and whatnot to a media drive or even hook it up to a computer as ntfs, and it won't do any harm. it will be able to read it.
