Would also like to see zip

It already supports zips.
All my roms are in zips.

Well, it shows me empty space, when I perform 'browse archhive'

Why would you want to browse an archive? If it contains the rom just load it with the desired core.
You can however specify what to load.
Look at my post with the YouTube video a few pages back. I have attached some playlists there.
As you can see an entry (which always consists of exactly 6 lines) points to a zip file (the first of the 6 lines).
You can add a filename from within the zip after adding a #.
Example:

/roms/Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (PAL) (Rev 01).zip#tmnt.sfc

I always load roms via RA via browser. When you choose zip with the browser it suggest you to browse it, then you can see the rom and load it. Unless I have playlist scanned, but there is no point in scanning, RA can't read zip correctly.

Yeah but why are you browsing the zip?
If you have a zip that contains a rom, just use "load archive" instead of "browse archive". It will find the rom automatically within the zip and load it.
Don't tell me you have a zip with multiple roms in it? That's not a good idea at all.

I think that's pretty common in ROM sets.

Oh, I though 'load archive' is for MAME and such, you know,cores that have it's games in ZIP by default.

Really? Never had something like that tbh.
I always have ROM sets where there was one zip per rom.

I thought that too when I started with RetroArch.
But it's for all cores.
Although there are cores where it's better to keep things unzipped (in separate folders for each game) like DosBox or ScummVM.

Well, romset in a single arhive is less fragmentated, thus takes less space. Actually romsets hogs a lot of space for naught due some exfat properties.

Is there a setting to make ROMs stretched out and full screen? I know most people think it looks ugly, but I'd like the entirety of the Switch screen to be filled.

Also is there a filter to smooth out pixels that I can get, for example for vba and Snes9x2010?

I have been searching through and even read the readme.txt, but how do I get back to the Retroarch menu whenever I am in a game?

pushing down on the left and right joysticks is commonly (but unofficially) referred to as L3 and R3.

They are official names for PlayStation since the 1997 DualShock. It basically set the layout standard for all controllers ever since.

Hey guys, where can I download the latest version of RetroArch for Switch?
I couldn't find anything on the official homepage.

 

[sirAnger]

well this thread is for an outdated build using libtransistor. I'm not really sure if it's being updated tbh. If you're looking for the current libnx build, you can get it in

I saw Libretro had tweeted some progress on PPSSPP. With that, and shaders, I'll be perfectly satisfied.
