hi, can anyone tell how much disk space is retroarch taking in windows?? In linux mint its taking more than 4 gb according to (Flathub)Flatpack.

[@BurningRubber454]

⁠@@UrCasualGamer3:09 can’t find the games

[@ErikRodriguez9121]

You have to go to this pc and click c drive and put your Roms in there

[@jeremymckinnon395]

@BurningRubber454 type the game you want then 'rom' into Firefox. Eg crash bandicoot rom

[@sittthugyii6514]

This was very helpful! Thanks for putting in the time to make videos such as this cuz some of us just want to click where we need to click and not go looking through threads and forums setting this stuff up.

[@UrCasualGamer]

I understand that, and no problem

[@kornervoncuriem9048]

Best tutorial Ive seen, even my non english speaker friend understood how to configure it, thank u so much

[@vagabonds2303]

For those still having trouble with finding the roms after selecting the core, search online for the rom games you want for the console then download and save them in a folder. Then scan the directory where you then saved the roms. Hope this helps those who are confused!

[@CassiusZedaker-pr7kc]

Just a note: RetroArch doesn't see the Documents folder at all, so you'll have to make a folder somewhere else. I was using SNES roms in my Documents folder with another emulator, but RetroArch couldn't find them, so I copied the SNES folder into the RetroArch folder and loaded from there.

[@HardHat-dz4rv]

@@CassiusZedaker-pr7kc how do you put them in the retro folder

[@spectre_94]

Brilliant video, clear and concise. Thanks a lot man.

[@stevetaylor8491]

[@Caparzoshow]

Very Clear and to the point, thank you Retroarch was very confusing to me with all those options and settings

[@kaleidoscopicvoid]

thanks for this.. basic stuff to get started, very useful, and there isn't any cringey fluff we have to skip around on (I just want to get set up 😆).. The thumbnails updater is a cool feature.

[@xpacme]

This is a GREAT tut. Thanks so much!

[@veganbadassTTV]

Absolutely amazing thank you

[@mefman9]

[@MrTurtleThief]

I appreciate the quick and simple guide 👍🏾

[@PNSinstant]

i have used stand alone emulators for a while, stopped using most besides ps3 (that one plays amazing with zero issues or lag and looks amazing) but wanted to play some snes games and sega again and decided ive never used retroarch even though ive heard nothing but good things, and i am blown away so far

[@s.gooberson]

Thank you so much! you are the best at tutorials. Every pirate thanks YOU. Also to be clear for people who hadnt found out earlier this does not include the Steam release of RetroArch.

[@TheWisemensCommittee]

You make some outstanding content, man!

[@FINNIUSORION]

So I've been using retroarch for a few years now and I'm just realizing the amount of customization you can do and little things like auto scanning all your game directories. I've been manually opening the files and starting games the hard way this whole time lol. And I've been using the blan boring ui and background. Now I'm going through and customizing everything and this is just as fun as any game.

[@JakeLeeAnimation]

Excellent video! Thank you!

[@Fentoris]

Another great tutorial by UCG Thank you

[@GarrettXPrime]

good work sir clear and to the point

[@crazyarab02]

[@dagoth_ur0]

Steal one from your local library

[@mrbrikcs]

Make one youself with wood, stones, paper and a stolen laptop from your local shop

[@amiristoudameire]

amazing video bro it was so simple

[@justinmurray8920]

after i hit scan directory i never got the game icon with the games listed

[@Pitogyrakiscck]

me neither

[@epxiliongaming]

Same here :(

[@justinmurray8920]

​@@epxiliongamingI just manually scan for my game file every time now and it works. Did you get it to work?

[@Vaedik43]

Great video thanks!

[@SvenSvensvensonsson]

Where are you finding is a good place to get quality ROMs? Most places I go to feel a bit...suspect. Like I'm going to give my computer a cold.

[@presidentsnow7315]

Thank you for making this tutorial video.

[@DigitalNomad765]

Retroarch is the best emulator ever 😃😀🤗🤗

[@firewood18]

im on a chromebook thanks for this

[@jonathancalderon1128]

Any help on where to get BIOS for PlayStation 1 and 2? Preferably somewhere where it won't try to make me download some other sketchy program before it will let me download the actual BIOS first as that happened a while back when I tried to get a PS2 emulator working.

[@CV-gb3cm]

Vimm's lair is probably the best site to get help

[@surg23]

Seems no one knows the answer to the most important step in setting these emulators up. I am following the "Dummies guide" grabbed PS1 bios files but they don't work. Yes I renamed them in accordance with the files the core needs. ps-30j.bin, ps-30a.bin, ps-30e.bin. Desktop view still reporting missing files despite them being there in the directory RetroArch/System.

[@JohanRobinson-kk8kn]

Excellent video!!

[@zxexrxox]

Thank you for the help with this

[@samaaaa1]

am I missing something or did you not mention roms? what is that? what do I do for that

[@psycoskunk9145]

I followed all of the steps and moved the zipped SNES file I wanted to use to an easier-to-find folder. Loaded up the core and scanned the directory. Nothing. I double checked whether or not RetroArch can run ips files (apparently it runs them SUPER EASILY), scanned the directory about 15 times now. Still won't show up. Is there some hidden secret step that I'm somehow missing or does the Steam version of RetroArch just not read ips files? Do I have to remove them from the zip folder despite it supposedly being able to read from zip folders? Because for whatever reason, RetroArch just *refuses* to load the zip file or the separate ips files, so I guess it doesn't support them. It would be nice if there was a troubleshooting section where you talked about what some possible solutions might be if the process doesn't work, but I can see how giving people more 'useful' information like adding updated box art to the games takes precedent.

[@classicgamesunited]

very simple and easy tutorial thanks

[@UnknownUser-n6s]

Crazy that you can install this on every single phone, console and tvs!

[@nothingthatinteresting]

This video was great!!

[@overlordarcade]

So, it constantly says I have no cores available, after downloading. On top of that, none of my Roms are showing up after scanning. 🤔

[@Killofftrey]

[@zulaminmanalindo6714]

bro could you help me out? those controller icons are not appearing at the end. I know that means the core that you downloaded but it's not showing on my end although I went all through your process perfectly. I'm confused please help me

[@annastouil154]

same

[@KerwynPromoter]

where is the best place to download roms?

[@EzyOnTheHouse]

try to look at the roms subreddit, the fixed post has a megathreads link

[@Savagetechie]

1g1r sets on torrent are a favourite

[@SharjeelSultan-g4j]

where can i find roms for games i am having trouble finding them
