• help with bw roms

  Use MelonDS instead, it's the most recommended DS emulator. Source: 8 months ago

• Pokémon emulators

  You mean emulators running on PC? It took some doing, but I finally got DS Download Play to work on MelonDS. First you need to get DS firmware files. I found one on Retrostic that did not work for me. Melon told me it was an old hacked dump, and trying to boot it just got me a white screen. I found another on the Internet Archive that works.

• I feel like people put down MelonDS too much here

  MelonDS is actually doing a lot of really cool stuff. I can't speak too much on the Android build, but on PC they have actually gotten multiplayer too work flawlessly and they are currently working on implementing netplay. You can keep up with their progress here. Source: 9 months ago

• Hi, new to emulators. I had a question, can I run gba and nds games on this?

  No, you can use mGBA for GBA games, and MelonDS for NDS games. Source: 9 months ago

• Completely new to emulation

  AFAIK randomizers are usually romhacks, and so they should work on most DS emulators, I personally use melonDS, however you can find a list of DS emulators here. Source: 11 months ago

• RetroArch cannot be found on the PlayStore, the first result is a copycat. It is just me?

  No, isn't just you. Every 64-bit phone haves the Play Store Retroarch available, the 32-bits no. But you can still download the 32-bit version on the Retroarch website. Source: 9 months ago

• Cause of the intrusion has been found and isolated. Sites are operational again.

  It was only the download links on retroarch.com on the Platforms page that got (briefly) redirected for a few hours. That should all be safe now. Source: 9 months ago

• Malicious download links?

  Yes, only the retroarch.com and libretro.com websites were affected. Source: 9 months ago

• Recent update from supposed hackers

  I went to retroarch.com and it said "discord.gg/evaderz is big haxors" its unrespectable. Source: 9 months ago

• Latest RetroArch on Xiaomi Mi box

  I've got installed RetroArch Plus from Google Play on my Xiaomi Mi box 4k and I want to update it to the latest version. I downloaded apk from retroarch.com but when I use apk installer to update it say is not compatible. I removed version from Google Play but fresh install 1.15.0 is not compatible too. I tried 32 and 64 version. What I'm doing wrong? Is any other AndroidTV version? Source: 9 months ago
