@Bento Werner OMG IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE! ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA! MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA! JOSUKE IS SO BADASS! YO ANGELO! YO ANGELO YO ANGELO! YARE YARE DAZE!
Thanks James! That missing assets warning was driving me crazy Maybe do another video on fixing errors or reinstalling retroarch and deleting the config file
I'm getting the same error message with mine. I even went to the online updater and ""update assets"" and i still have this error. Did you figure out how to get rid of the error message ??
I simply love your channel! Thank you for your videos! My vita was hacked for 4 years, but I hadn't touched it until recently I found you. Now I can fully enjoy it uwu
If you installed RetroArch and it looks different (ver 1.8.5) go to Settings>Driver>Menu then change it to XMB. XMB is the look that James is showing here.
@The monster under your bed Yeah I just stick with the adrenaline bro and sometimes use the retro app to play a certain snes games. It's not too bad when you kinda figure out how to use it. Still complicated, but it's ok. Have you tried out that new n64 emulator? It's awesome. Check it out when you get a chance
For some reason when my retroarch vpk install was at exactly 38%, it was at anywhere between 1-8kb/s as soon as it hit 39%, it was back up to several thousand kb/s. Edit: 75% was also like that for a second
Just a quick thankyou.... Re discovered by PSP from years ago which was never modded and didnt even know you could and saw one of your videos by accident and now have 2 psp units and two vitas all running enzo etc with perm jailbreak cfw. Seen a few other videos, but found you have the cleanest style and voice (one guy just holds his 2001 phone camera to the screen and babbles and you cant see what he is doing and another spends half the videos calling out to his 'homies' guess the nationality there)...YEP...Americans eh! So thanks again for all the work and consistant style.. even your voice is soothing which is handy for us noobs starting off as you are quite relaxing. getting a pstv next week also and another psp for my wifes mother and will be tweaking that via your videos too!
If you look through the retroarch menu, you can swap X and O and also set the hotkeys to bring up the retroarch menu since the default hotkeys are a pain to press on a vita
fully loaded with ease, just need some ROMS and we good to play , plus my boss is not at work so its vita day all day , you rock man , next m adding this to my ps3
When you press install and it's stuck at 0 you must lock and unlock the vita, it will a reveal an permission that we can allow it and continue installation with out waiting that 2 minutes, it's a software issues or something
About to confirm this right now. Currently transferring the VPK over. EDIT: when installing the VPK it is true that for a faster install press your standby/power button once and after a second press it again and prompt will show up! Thank you for that tip!
If the XMB menu doesn't work (for me with Retroarch 1.8.9 it didn't work automatically by just copying the folder): You have to activate the XMB menu manually. Go to Settings -> Drivers -> Menu Drivers and select XMB. Then restart Retroarch.
Awesome vid thank you. As per the end of your video I look forward to your new vids on cheats, icons and themes for the consoles. I would very much like to complete the setup of retroarch to look mint for each console loading the game libraries to play on the fly without navigating so much to folders to run etc
if it still didnt work.. while in retroarch.. go to settings... drivers... menu...choose xmb. Go back all the way.. and go to RESTART RETROARCH. DONT JUST CLOSE OUT THE APP
Oh Snap I almost crashed my car when this popped out - rushed home to get this working properly - wish we could get a Neo-Geo and Dreamcast setup tutorial soon
Got a completely different looking menu to yours, black and white and the GUI XMB file doesn't work. Following the persons comment below and manually selecting it does not save the setting and it goes back to the default look. very confused. EDIT: Figured it out. for those having my issue you have to actually click restart in the actual Retroarch app, not simply close the program and reopen it. thats why it wasn't saving.
good job . yes we need video for themes and icons and how use cheats on RetroArch roms . and which emulator for arcade shmup games (shoot-em up) like Cave and MAME . keep good work mate 👌

I was on the fence about selling my vita, as I would mostly use it for TH-cam (which the app is no longer supported) and other....activities. After I got the homebrew channel on my wii, I think I wanna crack out the old vita and put this on there. Great vids, man!
I got Vita recently OLED one . And your videos . Love it man . Better experience from this console that is sure :) And can I ask Vita Shell theme on the video ? :D I like it :D
Would you be willing to do a video on setting up adrenaline post 3.72? Assuming that such a thing is possible. I already have so many saved games and an sd2vita setup, so I was really hoping not to have to downgrade to an earlier firmware version since that requires redoing everything and basically wiping all your data. Love your videos man.
Put resident evil nemesis on but gets to blood and gore warning and that's it, not sure which bios to use would that make a difference and also where does bios go 🤔
If my Vita is hacked will it instantly work on the PS/TV once I put in the memory card and SD2Vita into it? Or do you have to hack the PS/TV separately? Any help is much appreciated.
I have a modded vita and I was using retroarch and I opened the game i wanted to play in the wrong file that was set up to play that game and retroarch stop working?is this the way it works? Need help figuring it out.thanks
As of version 1.9.0 refuses to work on PS TV / Vita TV. When loading ROMS the programme crashes and exits the user. Earlier versions did work with Vita TV - haven't been able to find any legacy versions of RetroArch available for download :(
I had this same problem and reinstalled several times. What I did to fix it though was get proper roms that retroarch likes. Google no intro roms and get whatever packs you want and it will place them in the console area.
Ive followed you video and everything is running great. The only problem is that I get an (C1-6775-5) error when first switched on. Is there a permanent fix for this?
Hi there. Hope you read my message and help me out. I bought a psvita 2000 at a garage sale. As I checked the unit. I noticed there is a sd2vita cart inside but no micro sd card. I also checked if the unit is modded or not, turns out it isnt. So I wanna use this opportunity to install a lot of retro emulators on the said unit. I already had a cfe psp 3000 and I can't let it go because of the emulators and games I have there. Kinda hoping that the same features on the emulators for the vita has the same thing on psp like the rewind function of the NES Emu, GB GBC Emu etc etc. Do you think the unit I have is compatible for cfw?
I cant get the retroarch menu to show up as the blue PC theme on Vita, I've tried latest and stable builds vpk, and I've tried the bundle data, updating assets in the app, and downloading the latest xmb folder and it still shows up as the default black menu
Did retro Arch will playable others psx games with some cheats too like granturismo 2 with max money or digimon word 3 with max hp max mp and max zenny?,thanks for your information dude
Hey James, nice video but I need some help 😭 I've tried different versions of retroarch but no matter what I try I just get a black screen whenever I try to load a SNES or Megadrive ROM, I've deleted config files to reset but nothing is running, ROMs are all working fine through emus on my phone etc
I'm not sure what I did wrong... I installed RetroArch and when it opens up, it doesn't look like yours; doesn't even look the same as yours does without the theme. I deleted the Retroarch folder in the data folder and reapplied the new files, restarted the system, checked to see if Henkaku settings were okay. But it still looks the same.

Hi, was wondering if anybody’s had any problems with GameBoy Advance saves? I tried saving a game of Pokemon Ruby through retroarch but the save file didnt update. Is there some different directory that RetroArch saves to or something?
This retroArch does not work on my ps vita .I'm on firmware 3.60. When I run it the screen goes black then I get an error message. I installed it on my uxO then VPK file. Any ideas on what am I doing wrong?

I have a question does something happened if you power off your console? I just did and now wenever i want to open retroarch it says there is an error and shuts off
