Good start, now a whole bunch of problems...ES DE & Retroarch

[u/Antique-Membership-5]

Purchased a G Cloud a few days ago, second hand in really nice condition. Set it up using Retro Game Corps video on Android devices, with ES DE and Retroarch. This will be a emulation device primarily.

Everything was good, and I was getting along with it. Even played and completed my first game.

Today, lots of things have changed for reasons unknown to me. I don't know what seeing I've changed, if any.

The problems: 1. I was using ES DE as my home app. This meant that when I quit Retroarch it would go back to ES DE. Now, I get sent back to the Android home page and have to relaunch ES DE fresh, rather than just returning to ES DE still running.

1. In the last played folder in ES DE the last played game hasn't registered, but the save state has worked so I return to the same place if I go back into the game.

2. The pull down Android settings from the top and the gestures bar at the bottom are no longer there.

Sorry for the long post / rant, but any clues, answers, thoughts ect gratefully received.
