  2. Thank you very much.
    Exactly what I needed.

    There are some Retroarch configurations that put all your games into a "horizontal cycle".
    Is there a way to load existing configuration files into the software to get different "start up looks"?

    Thanks again.

  3. Hey ETA Prime.


    this video was great. never in a million years i would've thought this could work. i'm currently using a Formula z7+ and its working just fine, not even having to make the adjustments you made. but i have three questions


    1/ can i just run the games from my external hard drive ?


    2/ i'm not getting any sound, can you assist ?


    3/ i cant seem to get psx to run. main file was located, but the two files are not found.

  6. So I can’t see the ‘menu toggle gamepad combo’ setting. They’ve changed the menus and now all I can find is press f1 or the retro arch button to return to menu. Which you can’t do with a gamepad. Anyone know how to exit to menu with just a pad?

  13. Just a heads up for anyone attempting to make an emulator box out of OTT TV BOX 4X CPU 4X GPU ANDRIOD TV BOX, it doesn't work, it wont even run NES games without slowdown and audio chop. Although it did work with my wired USB-controller from logitec :p at least that's something.

  22. It's a good thing in order to set up Retroarch you need to first defeat Batman and Superman at the same time all while using one arm.

    Enjoy Retroarch.

  24. Regarding saving progress: be sure to "Close content" from the menu after each session. The save file is ONLY WRITTEN after doing so.

  28. I stopped using Es file explorer amid security concerns about it. Have been using Solid explorer since and it's pretty much the same thing only more secure.... I'm lead to believe.

  29. I followed you tutorial very strictly, but on my nvidia shield Retroarch won't display my games in categories after scanning the directory. I have only 5 SNES games and I can only start them by using the Load Content option. When I scan the directory i see the notification that the games are detected.

  30. I have an android tv box I bought online from a tech store in Arizona with all the nes snes and Genesis games on it already. Cost me around 130. But I love it. Plays great with 2 wireless USB controllers. It uses arc browser as the front end. Check out Mankero tech if you don't know how or don't want to bother making one yourself.

  40. Hi, I managed to run retroarch fine with an m16 tv box and booting from a lakka Sd card, however after installing netflix and watching a couple series, the tv box doesn´t boot anymore into retroarch. Do you know if there is any config that can I change which is turned on or off when downloading netflix app into the tv box?

  41. This video has been immensely helpful in setting up RetroArch on my Stream+ Android TV. I tried a few controllers purchased at local Electronics retailer that were useless, and expensive, and I began to believe it was the Stream+. I finally purchased a $13 controller that although looked exactly the same as one I tried earlier, specifically said worked with Android TV, and Fire TV. It paired immediately and began following your video step by step, and within 15 minutes was playing NES, and SNES games perfectly. Thank you so much ! You have saved me many grey hairs.
