Just updating the .nro counts?
It takes so long to move all the assets...

Sure that does it.
All NROs, this includes the main RetroArch NRO and the individual cores NRO.

To everyone that's been having keyboard issues, try the latest nightly, natinusala just made a commit regarding the Switch keyboard:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commit/b1ad6014f02f25617b7c4cf9d9fcc7420c5f73db

Internal core updater should be fine to do that, correct?

Yeah that should do it.
The online updater inside RetroArch should grab the latest nightly versions, I believe.

The online updater updates the cores but not the retroarch.nro itself so I did it via buildbot as well now and can confirm the keyboard is working.

Oh yeah I forgot to specify that
The main retroarch.nro is not updated, only the cores haha sorry!

Hello I’m back into retro gaming and I’m trying to upload my load save files from my android to retroarchs mGBA

I’ve tried to put in the save files and certain games aren’t loading the files. I’ve tried it on mgba on my desktop and it does the same

Even went to use gamefaq saves and nothing
Please help I just want to play my old saves since I haven’t completed the games yet

If you need to know it’s Megaman battle network 4-6 having the issues, MMBN 2-3 work fine.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

ive also went in and changed the .sav files to .sgm or .srm to the savefiles folder of retroarch and it still doesnt work

Yes, with Flycast... You will need awbios.zip in your system/dc directory and your rom... but it's far from full speed

How can I make thumbnails show up? I enabled it in the settings and I use no-intro roms.

You need to make sure the saves are spelled the exact same way as the roms. So if the games game.gba it needs to have a save game.sav and also make sure it's in the right folder. I think switch stores the saves in cores/saves for whatever reason by default.

Thanks!! But what do you mean when you say "your system/dc directory"?? Any folder that contains my roms?

The "system" directory is where Retroarch usually looks for BIOS files. Presumably you make a "dc" folder there then place awbios.zip in that.

Where do you place the Doom 3 Files?

Is it normal that scanning directories takes very long? Like 1 game/second? Scanning my no intro nes collection took an hour. Is there a quicker way?

Do it on a PC with playlist buddy.
