    I downloaded a SNES rom and put it in the same folder as in the video, downloaded the "bsnes" core (it is shown on the "load core" screen, therefore downloaded properly). Imported the content the same was as in the video ....but the SNES icon doesn't show up in the main menue, even after restarting the program.
    Update: even though the ROMs are in the downloads/SNES folder (twice, as zip and unzipped), Retroarch shows the folder as empty ("no items").

    Hello, if anyone can help me. I recently downloaded RetroArch on my PC, my version is 1.16.0. I'm trying to play a game called Fate/EXTRA. Whenever I download the rom, it comes in a WinRAR file with 2 files. A folder named PSP_Game and a BIN file named UMD_DATA.BIN. Whenever I get this, i copy paste the PSP_Game file and paste it in the RetroArch files download file. I already posted the system bios for PSP and I've downloaded the PSP Core, PPSSPP, however, I'm still unable to access and play the game. I did all your steps, but I did not find a listing for PSP. Please advise.

    So the only way to get game files in is putting them in de downloads folder of RetroArch? I triend changing the content scanning folder to the regular internet downloads folder, but that does not work. Why the heck is there no drag-and-drop? I always have the idea that retroarch is a linux program never designed for a true GUI operating system like MacOS or Windows, as it lacks the fundamental principles of a decent GUI program like a menu bar, mouse-support for the interface, proper file association tables, double-click-to-open and such. Even worse, on a Mac all these Retro Arch folders are hidden by default.
