If you have roms on the SD card you'll find it under 'run/media/'ĭon't forget to manually save the settings you've made :) Adding games Go to file browser and set the default directory to your rom folders so you don't have to find it every time. Otherwise it will display your ip address in the piblic lobby instead. If you want to use network play I suggest making a user name here. You can also change how thumbnails are displayed if you have downloaded any. Here you can set a default core to use for all the games in the playlists so you don't have to choose one manually for every new game you play. PlaylistsĪfter you've made some playlists you can come back here and go to 'manage playlists'. Move assets/xmb/custom to the Deck and change the assets directory in retroarch to it.

I'm using retrosystem with some minor modifications (like removing the black icons.) If you go to the assets/xmb folder on a windows pc you can make your own custom assets from the existing assets by copy and pasting the ones you want and place them in retroarch/assets/xmb/custom. Select a different theme by pushing left or right on the dpad. In apperance you can also change the 'menu icon theme'. 90 makes the menu less transparent and more vissible, but you still see that you have a game on in the background. This is how much transparacy the menu has when you have a game running in the background. Go to apperance and change the 'menu alpha factor' to 90. Here you can turn off menus you don't need. On-Screen displayĪnd at the bottom turn on menu-only notifications. This is good if you want to access the menu in desktop mode. Go to hotkeys and set 'menu (toggle)' to right stick click button. There's however one hotkey that is good to set in retroarch itself. P is pause (useful if you want to unpause the game after testing input lag) (useful if you want to test input lag)į1 is to switch between the menu and the game. I have the back buttons set to the following: You can view the buttons functions and set them to what you want. Instead of changing things here I'd suggest to change the controls for the application in steam instead. Some people might want to change it to something else to make it look stretched like on a CRT.

Set aspect ratio to 1:1 PAR (something DAR). Online updaterĭownload/update cores and other stuff like thumbnails/databases.

To see cores (emulators) you have downloaded and to download new cores. Next I'm going through the other options I think are important. Go to 'settings/input/menu controls' and enable 'menu swap ok and cancel buttons' to on. Some text might be cut off to the right, but works well for most things. Go to 'settings/user interface/apperance' and change the menu scale factor to get a bigger interface. Go to 'settings/user inetface' and set 'menu screensaver timeout' to off. By quitting to steam things will revert to how they were before. This is good if you mess something up or get a black screen. This makes you have to save manually through main menu/configuration file. Go to settings/configuration and set 'save configuration on quit' to off. Go to settings/user interface and set menu to xmb. There's some things I always change first before other settings to make the menu navigation better. I'm going to write this guide with the ui set to xmb gui (since that is what I'm using.) Some settings might only apply with xmb enabled. Go to the application menu/games right click on it and add it to steam. Setting up retroarch:ĭownload it from discover in desktop mode. I started to write about each emulator but figured I could write a general guide too. I've been playing around with retroarch a lot, trying to get the best results with different emulators.
