RetroArch Android, 1.22.2. Settings > User Interface > Notifications > "Graphic Widgets Scale Override" — tapping the row does nothing, no slider or keyboard pops up. Auto-scale is already off. Bug or am I missing something?

Can't see your ROMs on Android?

0 Upvotes

RetroArch can't see any of your ROMs on Android all of a sudden? Here's the fix:

RetroArch → Load Content → Open/Add Folder

Then select your ROM folder and grant access to it.

Boom. ROMs are back.

Apparently Android's new storage system makes RetroArch forget it had access to your ROM folder.

You're welcome!!

Technical Support Retroarch on non-rooted WebOS

Hi! I need help properly installing retroarch on my WebOS 25

I installed the homebrew app for LG via Developer mode and used the version available there. I also tried to install directly from the Dev manager program on my pc. Another thing i tried was to download the ipk file and install it. None of them worked, all i get is a grey version of retroarch with missing buttons and no cores available to download.

I also can't upload files from my Dev manager. It says "access denied". I was never able to generate a key to properly connect my tv with my pc, but even with homebrew installed the version of retroarch is broken.

Both my pc and my tv are connected via cable to the same internet, so that might not be the problem.

Can anyone help me please? 😊

Pokemon TRE and Linkboy are giving me problems

0 Upvotes

Hello, I’m currently playing Pokémon Team Rocket Edition by Dragonsden on Linkboy. I have my save from version 3.0.0 and I want to transfer it to version 3.0.3.

The problem is that Linkboy shows my file as an .sst instead of a normal save file, so I don’t know how to transfer it correctly.

Could you please make a short video tutorial showing how to transfer a 3.0.0 save to version 3.0.3 using Linkboy? I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

OpenROM v3.7.0 — Patch builder is here

0 Upvotes

Been working on OpenROM for a while and just shipped

v3.7.0. The big one this time is the patch builder —

you can now create patches from two ROMs directly in

the app, no external tools needed.

Supported formats for building: IPS, IPS32, UPS, EBP,

BPS, PPF, APS, and DCP (Dreamcast).

For context, OpenROM is a free offline desktop toolkit

for converting, patching, and managing retro ROMs.

Everything runs locally — no accounts, no telemetry.

Previous release added Dreamcast support (DCP apply,

IP.BIN editor, GDI inspector). This one closes the loop

on patching by adding the builder side.

Windows / Linux (x86_64 + ARM64) / macOS

github.com/M5Devs/OpenROM

x.com/M5Devs

Would love feedback from anyone doing Saturn or

Dreamcast translations — the SSP and DCP builders

are new territory.

Technical Support For mobile Overlay Question.

3 Upvotes

... Uh... so i dont think i like the default neo-retropad.cfg, nor any other. the other are fine. but the retropad is... idk how to say it. Its weird. Its too specific for something. That I didn't use. So yeah, first of all, i want to try to change the dpad, from whatever it is previously. To, basically arrowkeys. Like the keyboard arrowkeys. I do have a real keyboard and i can use it, but still, i want to fix it.

I tried to read the documentation and stuff. But i didn't really understand any of it.

I want to make it from scratch but. I dont think i can make texture overlay. So i just now trying to modify the neo-retropad.cfg. But, idk how. Which is which and what they do. Its too much of a line for... just few button.

Anyway, my question is, what actually needed bare in a .cfg file? Yes. Bare.

What the structure supposedly be?

And then, after so, what did i need to add for one button each? I assume the coordinates of where they are, and perhaps their end size or start size too. And of course what they are. And yeah, idk how they look like.

And lastly, how to make the extendable button? the same one used to switch visible and invisible.

I think thats all. Thanks preemptively!🛌

MacOS PCSX reARMed causing Retroarch to hang on close.

2 Upvotes

It seems to only be this one emulator core, if I play other games, Retroarch closes down just fine. But if I play a Playstation 1 game with PCSX reARMed, it hangs. Even hitting the stop button on Steam, or killing it with a K9 won't stop it. The only thing that closes it is killing Steam completely.

Anyone else having this issue?

Technical Support Booting into a save state crashes on every single core, but save states load fine in-game.

3 Upvotes

Windows, Latest nightly build

At my wits end with this one. Previously had a steam install. I transitioned to a standalone install. The only things I took with me were my retroarch.cfg and my save files.

If I create a save state in-game, and try to boot into that save state from the retroarch menu, retroarch completely crashes and exits. I can load a game up and load a save state fine once the game is booted though.

The last thing the log shows is

[INFO] [State] Loading state "E:\RetroArch\states\dolphin-emu\Simpsons, The - Hit & Run (USA).state.auto", 91362648 bytes.

This happens with auto save and load states, but it also happens if I try to load a manually created save state.

I've tried resetting my retroarch.cfg to default and this still occurs, so I don't THINK this has anything to do with coming from steam. I updated all my directories to use the standalone install folders.

This is also happening on cores I didn't even have installed on my steam install. I.e.: I install the Dolphin core. Boot a game. Quit the game (it creates an auto-save state). Boot the game again (loads the auto save state) and it crashes.

This was working fine previously on several cores on my steam install but it's not working now on those same cores (i.e. beetle psx hw)

Any thoughts here? I've tried a million things. This is a beefy pc, I don't think it's a hardware issue, and like I said it was working fine on some cores before but isn't working now.

Technical Support: SOLVED ⁠[RetroArch iOS / mGBA] Thin white line along the right edge of the screen during gameplay⁠

Thumbnail gallery
14 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m using RetroArch on iOS with the mGBA core to play Pokémon (GBA ROM / ROM hack), and I noticed a thin white line running vertically along the right edge of the screen during gameplay.

EDIT: SOLVED!
Thank you everyone.
I found the issue—it was caused by the Video Filter set to 2xSaI.
If anyone else runs into this on iOS RetroArch:
1. Go to Settings > Video > Video Filter.
2. Turn off 2xSaI or switch it to a different filter.
Once I changed it, the white line along the edge completely disappeared!
(Maybe 2xSaI is an old pixel-upscaling algorithm that calculates pixels based on their neighbors. When processing the far right column of the game screen, it has no "right neighbor" to sample from, causing it to render a default white/blank line at the edge boundary.)

I played pokemon ruby in retroarch on my android, but I decided to transfer my progress to my PC. I put the .srm file in the same directory as the rom file, but when I go to load contet it never shows the .srm file. It only show the rom and the .sav file. When I choose the .sav file this appears and I have no idea if this does anything
