RetroArch Megathread

Common Problems

I messed up input and I can’t press anything.

If you really did mess up input the easiest solution is to start over.

Close RetroArch
SSH into your GS and then do

cd ~/.config/retroarch
rm retroarch.cfg
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clockworkpi/GameShellDocs/master/retroarch.cfg

I removed my config and now when I start RetroArch it looks weid

If you are working without a config you’re using RetroArch global defaults, which means 3x window size and XMB theme. The easiest solution is to do what I mentioned for the previous issue.

Alternatively you may use a text editor to open ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg and change menu_driver to rgui and video_fullscreen to true

I recommend to use nano as a text editor
