    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had trawled youtube for a day to find out how to install and set up retroarch for my autistic son. I spent hours watching and following step by step to no avail until i found your tutorial and bingo i managed to get it working thanks to you. The other tutorials were very good but technical terms lost me but yours for me, an elderly lady was easy to follow. Peace has returned to the household thanks to you. ❤🇬🇧

    This is easily the most I intuitive and user-friendly tutorial I have for RA I have seen to date. Excellent work, and thank you. You just earned yourself a sun 😊
    RA started acting up for me a few years back when they did the ugly grey screen update - the joypad button config got messed up so jump and fire got merged and couldn’t be separated - so I went back to using individual emulators for each system, which worked, but was a hassle. If RA is working again now and the pretty ‘it’s not the PS3 menu, honest’ is back I think I’ll start using it again. 👍😀

    Word of advice for some better visuals when setting up the library.
    It's best not to add a playlist the way you added it. If you instead use the GUI and basically do the same, scan you ROM location, it'll assign a console icon to the top for a better look, it'll add the NES cartridge for the games icon instead of the rocket and it'll have better luck adding the boxart usually. Some of the GUI's will also replace the cartridge with the box art.
    You can confirm this has worked by going into same desktop window and you'll see the Famicon icon instead of just a file icon. You can then set the main LibCore from a right click drop down.

    I used to play Earthbound and a few other games back in the late 2000s, and I finally came back to emulation. This makes it all sooooo much easier. Thank you for your tutorials, I'm also psyched to try out the Pokemon Mini emulator because I always wanted to play them as a kid, but they were so expensive.

    Few questions..what are your recommendations per each emulator in this setup?(meaning let’s say I want a gba or DS emulator) what one should I pick? Would be awesome to have a recommendation list for all consoles on here cause there is multiple for same consoles and I bet most like me don’t wanna download multiples to test out before they get one they like. Next one is I know you said you think standalone emus can be better but do you think there is a big drop off in quality using this to play all the diff emus or should I just stick with standalones? And when you download the “cores” on here is it the same ones as the standalones? (Meaning if I downloaded lets say citra for example is it actually citra or just a hosted client for it?) sorry for all the questions but would love to have them answered cause I’m putting together a pc strictly for emulation for my kids
