After downloading ===[[RetroArch]],[[File:Rgui.png|thumb|205px|RGUI, RetroArch's interface]] start up retroarch.exe.===
To launch a game, select the emulator core you'd like to use under '''Core''', and select a ROM under''' Load Game'''<B><code> [https://xbins.org/libretro/stable/ Stable]</B></code>
For more convenient ROM selection, setup your browser directory under '''Path Options'''<B><code> [https://xbins.org/libretro/nightly/playstation/ps3/ Nightly] </B></code>
==Installing RetroArch on Linux=====Debian-based===First, add the PPA for hunter-kaller<B><code> [https:/ppa (instructions [[Emulation on Ubuntu|here/github.com/libretro GitHub]]), then type the following into a terminal: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install retroarch sudo apt-get install <corename/code></B>
Replace <corenameB><code> with the name of the package the core is available in. You can see all of the cores available to you either in your package manager (e.g. Synaptic, Software Center) or by visiting [https://launchpadxbins.netorg/libretro/nightly/playstation/~hunter-kallerps3/+archivelatest/ppa LaunchpadPS3 RetroArch Cores].

Put the actual paths to the ROMs in double quotes. For example:==See also==[[PlayStation 3 emulators]]
retroarch "C:/Games/SNES/Super Game Boy 2 (Japan).sfc" --gameboy "C:/Games/Game Boy/Kirby's Dream Land (USA, Europe).gb" You will need sgb.boot.rom in your System folder, this can be found on the [[Emulator Files]] page in the SNES file pack if you do not have it. You can also use the RetroArch-Phoenix launcher to launcher to load them, but YMMV since it is not being updated anymore. ===Dual Analog Controllers=== PS1 games often used a set of default remappings if they didn't support it directly. Some games used both analogs as the D-pad, RetroArch doesn't support that though. Dual analogs only work in games that fully supported them, such as Ape Escape. To use dual analog for such games, go to Input Options, and change Device Type to '''JoyPad w/ Analog'''. ===Transfer PS1 Memory Card Files===Mednafen creates memory card files for each individual game, in contrast to PCSX-R/ePSXe where all game saves are stored into 2 memory card files. To transfer memory card files from PCSX-R/ePSXe to RetroArchCategory: *Start game in RetroArch. *Go to system folder. Copy the names of the .mcr files created for the game. *Delete them. *Rename the files you want to transfer with the names of the RetroArch memcard files. *Place the new ones in the system folder. ===Disk Changing===To changes disks in-game, go to Disk Options > Disk Image Append. '''S'''ome games like Metal Gear Solid require the disk tray to be opened before changing disks. To do this, change 'Disk Index' to 'No Disk' first. ===Audio DSP Plugins===RetroArch supports loading audio DSP plugins to add effects such as reverb to the audio output. This has been in RetroArch for a long time, but was recently reworked to be easier to use and more accessible from RGUI, and are available in the main RetroArch repository now. Now you can load DSP filters using RGUI under Settings\Audio Options\DSP Filter, where you can load a DSP preset with .dsp extension, which is a text file similar to a shader preset that lets you chain DSP filters and specify their options. The DSP filters themselves are dynamic libraries that are loaded according to the .dsp file. Each DSP filter has a standalone preset that documents the default options, and there are some example presets that combine more than one filter. Note that some of these filters may reduce volume a bit, so you may want to boost RA's volume level to compensate. If you want to remove the filter, press Start when the DSP Filter option is highlighted. The filters and their presets can be found [https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/tree/master/audio/filters hereEmulators on consoles], which the DSP filters can be built for your platform with the makefile. Some precompiled Windows x64 builds of these filters can be obtained [https://www.mediafire.com/?89eu6fk5kx8z39a here]. ===SoftFilters===Classic emulator filters like SuperEagle or Blargg's NTSC have been available as bSNES filter plugins in the past, which is no longer supported in bSNES/higan but was still available in RetroArch. However, this filter format was recently replaced with the SoftFilter spec, which has been upgraded to support more platforms, multi-threading and SIMD usage. The filters are dynamic libraries which are loaded in RGUI under Settings\Video\Soft Filter, which will apply the filter before any shaders are applied. The filters are found [https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/tree/master/gfx/filters here], which can be built for your platform with the makefile. Precompiled Windows x64 builds can be found [httpsCategory://www.mediafire.com/?o9r9n8u7njwygcz hereEmulators on home consoles]. Note that these filters are WIP and may not work with all cores as they need to have codepaths for the pixel format the core uses (either 32bpp XRGB8888 or 16bpp RGB565). Blargg's NTSC is currently limited to 16bpp cores for example (bSNES is 32bpp so it won't work, but SNES9x is 16bpp so it works there). Cores that use Libretro GL for 3D like Mupen64plus can not use these filters. ===Outputting log to a file===An easy way to get RetroArch to output logs to file for easy copy/pasting: retroarch --menu --verbose >> log.txt 2>&1 It will load up to RGUI as if you just double clicked the executable, but it will redirect standard output and standard error to a text file called log.txt in your RetroArch folder. The command above will append to the log and not overwrite existing information, if you want it to overwrite, change ">>" into ">". This can be put into a .bat file to easily run it when desired. ==Building from source=={{Main|Building RetroArch}}Libretro-super is a series of scripts used to ease the compilation and installation of each and every libretro emulation core and RetroArch itself. Thus this is the simplest route to a fully functional installation. If you need or want to build each core individually then you can refer to the [https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super/blob/master/libretro-build-common.sh build-common.sh] script for direction. git clone git://github.com/libretro/libretro-super.git cd libretro-super sh libretro-fetch.sh sh libretro-build.sh sh libretro-install.sh <path where you'd like RetroArch installed> If you want to build cores individually with the script instead of all of them at once, you can do this sh libretro-build.sh build_libretro_<corename> to call one core's build function directly instead of calling them all. ==Hotkeys==*F1 - Open RGUI*F2 - Save state*F4 - Load state*F8 - Take Screenshot*F9 - Mute Audio*F11 - Hide Cursor*Space - Turn off Frame Limiter ==Problems and Solutions== ===Command prompt running and closing itself upon running retroarch.exe=== Open up retroarch.cfg using Notepad. Inside, you should find config_save_on_exit = "true" Now, under it, write video_driver = "d3d9" or video_driver = "gl" ==External links==*[http://www.libretro.com/index.php/wiki-list/ Libretro Wiki]*[http://forum.themaister.net/viewtopic.php?id=467 Windows Compilation Guide]*[httpCategory://www.libretro.com/index.php/wiki/compilation/linux/ Linux Compilation Guide]*[https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/wiki/RGUI RGUI Documentation]*[http://www.libretro.com/index.php/wiki/configuration/general-configuration/ General Configuration]*[http://www.libretro.com/index.php/wiki/configuration/windowsEmulators on seventh-guide/ Advanced Configuration] [[Category:FAQsgeneration consoles]]
