![]() Note that technically, “RetroArch” should be pronounced like “RetroARTCH” versus “RetroARK”, because it was first based on Arch Linux, but both pronunciations are considered acceptable. The frontend for RetroArch is often referred to as the “libretro frontend”. It can run on the usual platforms like Windows, MacOS and Linux, but it also runs on iOS and Android for tablets and phones, as well as on game consoles like PS2, PS3, PSP, PS Vita, Wii, Wii U, 2DS, 3DS, Switch, and more. RetroArch is a frontend for emulators, game engines and media players. However, if you are using a system that relies primarily on RetroArch for emulation (like Xbox), or you have a beefy PC that can run well regardless of optimizations, you may find success in emulating higher-end systems in RetroArch, too. For more modern consoles, it is often more efficient to rely on standalone emulators, which are generally more optimized than RetroArch. RetroArch really shines on retro systems, particularly PlayStation 1 and below games. The video will primarily be done on Windows PC, but the same method will apply to MacOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Vita, and Xbox platforms, and more. This guide is meant to help you get set up with various RetroArch iterations. In this guide I’m going to demystify some of the more peculiar things about this emulation frontend, and show you how I set up RetroArch on my own gaming platforms. But it does have quite a steep learning curve. RetroArch is one of my favorite programs to use for retro game emulation, because it can emulate many systems. I have the software configured to show the box arts and titles, but the Dark Wizard box art and title isn't showing up when there is a Dark Wizard (USA).png file each each of the 3 folders, with each png file being a different file size.Last updated: 28FEB2022 (see Changelog for details) I have the following files: Named_Boxarts, Named_Snaps, and Named_Titles. Lastly, how do I get thumbnails to show up? What is "crc32": "B0C3C6BA|crc" ? Is this code specific to Dark Wizard? So what tool do I have to use to properly convert Tosec Iso format into cue/bin so that when I scan the game, it actually shows up in the playlist and I don't have to modify the lpl file by hand? "db_name": "Sega - Mega-CD - Sega CD.lpl" ![]() "core_name": "Sega - MS/MD/CD/32X (PicoDrive)", "core_path": "/retroarch/cores/picodrive_libretro_libnx.nro", "path": "/retroarch/Downloads/Sega CD/Dark Wizard (U)/DarkWizard_U.cue", My lpl file in the playlist folder reads as: How do I fix this?Īlso how do I get Lunar 2 to show up in the play list? It was also scanned in. ![]() Since it doesn't work under PicoDrive, I'd prefer if it was listed under Genesis Plus GX under the playlist so that I won't have to upload the Genesis Plus GX core each time and then navigate to the downloads folder every time. I have the bios files in \retroarch\cores\system\ĭark Wizard shows up under Sega-Mega-CD-Sega-CD with the Core listed as PicoDrive which I found odd considering I scanned the Dark Wizard folder under Pico Drive as the core and under Genesis Plus GX as the core. PicoDrive is version 1.9 or something and the bios is like 1.5. If go to Load Core and select Genesis Plus GX, and navigate to retroarch/downloads/Sega CD/ and select Dark Wizard, it loads and plays. ![]() If go to Load Core and select PicoDrive, and navigate to retroarch/downloads/Sega CD/ and select Dark Wizard, it crashes. If go to Load Core and select Genesis Plus GX, and navigate to retroarch/downloads/Sega CD/ and select Lunar 2, it loads and plays. If go to Load Core and select PicoDrive, and navigate to retroarch/downloads/Sega CD/ and select Lunar 2, it crashes. ![]() The software recognizes Dark Wizard in the playlist, but not Lunar 2. I went to load content/playlists/import content in the retroarch software itself and selected the Dark Wizard and Lunar 2 folders. I basically added the new cue and bin files to the old files within the folder.īoth folders containing the game files are located in the retroarch/downloads/Sega CD/ So the Lunar 2 folder has 5 files in it which are the cue, bin, ccd, img, and sub file. I used a software program called AnyBurn and it converted the img file into a cue and bin. Lunar 2 - Format was Tosec Iso, and the folder contained a ccd, img, and sub file. So I have some sega CD games that I own but would prefer to emulate to preserve the disks. ![]()
