After changing RetroArch's "Aspect Ratio" setting to "Custom" for each one of the cores I use and save by exiting RetroArch, I have to set it and exit RetroArch in some cores again because the "Aspect Ratio" setting is blank and I won't be able to play games since I'll have a white screen. I have to change RetroArch's "Aspect Ratio" setting again when having said problem, which is annoying.

Iirc, it's under video, near the beginning of the list. I only use Retroarch on the series x.

Thanks, I found it and changed its setting but I still have the original issue.

Anyway, I'll use PS TV's RetroArch (and PS Vita's) since it's available on RetroArch's official website unlike PS3's RetroArch and its version is newer than the last time PS3's RetroArch was available on RetroArch's official website so I'll delete it.

PS2's and PSP's RetroArch have slowness after loading ROMs, some of the former's cores cause a black screen and some of the latter's cores even turn off the console so I won't use PS2's and PSP's RetroArch as well. I won't run emulators on the PS2 but on the PS TV and PS Vita (RetroArch, like I said) and I'll run EmuMaster and UO gpSP Kai on the PSP, though EmuMaster has somewhat slowness (at least it doesn't turn off the PSP like some RetroArch cores).

You need to save it in the main menu.

But PS3's RetroArch keeps other settings without even saving the changes in the main menu.

EDIT: Now, after deleting PS3's RetroArch, downloading it (from Brewology, since the last time it was available in RetroArch's official website was in 2020 [it was the 1.9.0 version and it appeared by the name "PSL1GHT", as well as some previous versions]. Since then, RetroArch's official website says "Coming soon" in the PS3 section), reinstalling it, running it, loading a ROM, loading a core, changing its "Aspect Ratio" setting and loading another ROM with a different core, it kept the previous "Aspect Ratio" setting so I didn't have a white screen but when loading ROMs with the Gearboy core, the console returns to XMB, and when loading Pokémon Emerald, it doesn't let me choose the core and automatically chooses the VBA Next one.

EDIT 2: I tried PS3's RetroArch CE (unofficial beta updated 2022-03-15), and after loading ROMs with the Gearboy core a few times, the console didn't return to XMB, and when loading Pokémon Emerald, it let me choose the core I want to load.

EDIT 3: It seems PS2's, PSP's and PS Vita's RetroArch are unauthorized ports according to the official RetroArch website (which still also says RetroArch is "Coming soon" in the PS3 section [it does it for years] and that in the meantime unofficial versions of it are available elsewhere).
