Go to apperance and change the 'menu alpha factor' to 90. Here you can turn off menus you don't need.

Works well for everything I've tested.Īnd 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). To see cores (emulators) you have downloaded and to download new cores.ĭownload/update cores and other stuff like thumbnails/databases. 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. I started to write about each emulator but figured I could write a general guide too.ĭownload it from discover in desktop mode. I've been playing around with retroarch a lot, trying to get the best results with different emulators.
