RetroNX works fine, but it doesn't recognize any of my roms or bin files. It just says "no items". What would I have to do to get them to be recognized. Thank you for all the work you've done.
If you haven't figured it out, try this. I'm starting it like you've just downloaded the RetroNX bundle, so delete anything Retroarch related that you have on your card or just edit it, accordingly, since the Retroarch folder's going back on the root of your micro SD.
Unzip the RetroNX files you downloaded and you'll have Retroarch, Switch, and README.
Go into the solo Switch folder that unzipped and copy retroarch_switch.nro and put it in the switch folder you, already, created on your micro SD card for your other homebrews. Delete that Switch folder that came in the RetroNX zip when you're done.
Next, go into the retroarch folder, click on cores, copy/paste the Switch folder to your desktop/laptop then delete that Switch from the 'cores' section. Go through the list and copy/paste all the .nros of the systems you want to the Switch folder you created. Vbanext is Game Boy Advance, Fceumm is NES, pFBA/MAME are arcades, Gamebatte is Game Boy/Game Boy Color, 4do is 3do, Beetle_pce_fast is TurboGrafx, Supergrafx is TurboGrafx CD, SNES, Genesis... well... Be sure to put the necessary files in the 'system' folder inside retroarch. Retroarch/cores/system. It says what you put there. CD based systems need them.
SNES, NES, Game Boys, Genesis, Game Gear, Master System, probably some others, can be unzipped. Arcade games have to be zipped and named correctly. They should be if you find full sets. Also, adding the full set/s is NOT necessary. pFBA uses .42/.43, MAME uses .78.
Personally, I recommend having the different roms, for each system, in their own folders inside of the /Switch folder.
Also, NX-Shell for quick deletion of games/.sav you may want to delete, music playing and book/comic book reading.
