How do you listen to music? I see the music option in the menu but have no idea how to actually load any.

Hey is there a way to use retroarch with an external USB, which is inserted in the docking station?
Cause I can't use retroarch on my ExFat formatted internal microSD card. So I wanted to use an external USB drive (Fat format).

1. Not yet. Maybe in the future.
2. A friendly hint: use FAT32.

I've built the px68k core for Switch, and it seems to run well except the games run a bit too fast on load (60 FPS instead of 55 FPS), which going into the quick menu and back again seems to fix.

Here's a video of me playing Akumajou Dracula, Salamander, and Bubble Bobble (poorly):

This is really good. I haven't played enough X68K to know when something's running the wrong speed, but I'm still loving it.

EDIT: Is there a trick to getting analog working?

Cool! Did you make a PR for it to be included in the main repo?

 

[ShadowOne333]

Let me know once the PX68K core has been tested and added to the buildbot, to add it to the OP, please

is there any way to set 1080p in docked mode? (through retroarch.cfg maybe)

Hey guys, i really try to like RetroArch but it does not like me, i guess. I have constant problems with it.

I have a Switch with 6.1.0 and SXOS 2.5.

RetroArch does not start anymore. Have both tried the NSP and the NRO versions. I tried reinstalling them multipile times. I tried different SX versions but still it does not start. After the little NX Logo on the bottom right of the screen, it turns black.

Do you know why its not workling?

How can I find cheats for certain games on my own? Wanna find Maximum Gold in the fan translation of Metal Max.

Should just work. Which game?

I will once it's been sufficiently tested (any help appreciated there!) and the frame rate issue has been resolved. I can't reproduce it on RetroArch Linux.

No, I use same FW and SX OS and Retroarch (.nsp and .nro) works pretty well on my Switch. Did you just overwrite the files or did you delete folders? maybe, an old config file cause the error? or your sd card has an error? is it formatted exFat or fat32?

Best thing to do is completely delete your sd:\retroarch folder.
You could try starting over with another sd card or format yours but deleting that folder should be enough.

Try and delete your retroarch.cfg file with in retroarch folder.

Anything that uses mouse input. I have turned on the "Use Analog" option in the core settings ans the setting in the ZL menu defaults to mouse. I tried changing it to joystick, but that didn't change anything.
