Thanks for the heads up
Adding it to the OP.

I can load up my old 80mb ps1 eboots from psp hacking back in the day and they work. It's crazy.

Anyone know the best conversion tools for eboot?

Oh and I also added Mupen64 during the same time as well

Whenever I load retroarch, it gives me glitchy symbols on the top of my screen.

Read the "Setting up XMB" section in the OP

No its the old-retronx-config-issue
Delete your retroarch.cfg
(Or you mixed the "switch" video diver with GL stuff)

Mmmm I think I should add the "Delete any previous .cfg" thing into the OP as well.
This will be one of the most crash-prone things when more changes start arriving.

Does anyone happen to have all the retro artwork?

I use this http://thumbnailpacks.libretro.com/

Definitely always delete the cfg when updating, it causes more issues if you don't. Learned that the hard way.

It worked, thanks.

Okay, this is messed up. I was using RetroArch on a secondary fat32 SD card successfully for about a day, and when trying to use the "close RetroArch" option it just hung there for around a minute. I then pressed the home button to see if my switch would even respond and now every time I boot into homebrew, even after restarting, I simply get an error when I try to open the homebrew loader. My other SD card with games on it works properly. Thank God. I would not recommend using your primary card for this as it has a very real chance of screwing your file system up even on fat32. Good lord. Hopefully this is fixable, but why the heck did it even happen? Be careful guys.

Small side note: I wanted to see about manually adding playlist and thumbnail support for roms it deemed 'unworthy', so I downloaded the PC version and some application that was supposed to help with manual editing of config files. Holy crap. That PC version is hot garbage! It doesn't even let you manually load roms because apparently it can't see them? The Switch version can! They're the same files! It doesn't recognize my controller, or even give options to find it! Avoid the PC version guys; it's a right mess.


Edit: I was quite incorrect about the PC version. As we speak, I am configuring it to my liking. I simply was not aware that, unlike the Switch version, the PC version requires you to configure everything from cores to inputs. Without this knowledge I was quite mistaken to say it was "garbage." it's quite nice that the Switch version comes with these things pre-installed as to avoid the cacophony of complaints that would undoubtedly ensue. In short, do your research, but also remember that every human being is born ignorant of absolutely everything.

Whenever I get a crashing error on retroarch, it doesn't report to the error log. Is that normal?

I am not sure what you are doing, lol.
Are you sure you use a real SD and not fake china shit?

Can you tell me what PC version you actually downloaded? RetroArch on PC is the most complete version of all; there are not all that much differences between the Switch and PC versions.

Maybe it helps if you explain what you tried to do on the PC version.

Wasn't creport removed from hekate forever?

creport is a atmosphere component that replaces the system error reporting service.
Thats irrelevant to hekate, hekate only does what u tell it to do
