You should choose one method of installing cores (pacman or the Online Updater) and change your #Configuration to match. Cores installed with pacman are placed in /usr/lib/libretro and thus will not appear in RetroArch's GUI. To remove a button from a keybind, highlight the keybind and press Y.īy default RetroArch searches for cores in ~/.config/retroarch/cores, which is where the Online Updater installs them. To reset a setting or keybind to its default value through the GUI, highlight it and press Start. Note: retroarch-git AUR requires nvidia-cg-toolkit in order to use the cg shaders. Libretro_directory = '/usr/lib/libretro' ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg #include '/etc/retroarch.cfg' Libretro_info_path = '/usr/share/libretro/info' etc/retroarch.cfg # for retroarch-assets-xmbĪssets_directory = '/usr/share/retroarch/assets' If you install any RetroArch components system-wide with pacman, you should specify these in the global configuration file and include them in your user file. Libretro_info_path = '~/.config/retroarch/cores/info' ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg libretro_directory = '~/.config/retroarch/cores' If you install RetroArch components in your home-directory, you should specify local paths in the global configuration file for downloading cores. When you first run RetroArch it will create the user configuration file ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg. $ retroarch -libretro /path/to/some_core_libretro.so /path/to/rom Configuration Change your #Configuration if you install them elsewhere. These can be downloaded per-user within RetroArch itself (via the libretro Buildbot) or you can install them system-wide via Community or AUR.īy default RetroArch is configured to load the per-user cores that it downloads. RetroArch relies on separate libraries, called 'cores', for most of its functionality. Install retroarch-standalone-service AUR to get system user, system service and RetroArch configuration for standalone game-box.You may also want to install retroarch-assets-ozone for a more desktop-friendly GUI. Install retroarch-assets-xmb to get the fonts and icons for the RetroArch GUI.
