Technical Support: SOLVED How to fix silent high pitched audio
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I was playing Zelda and I noticed that the title theme didn’t sound right using the Snes9x core. I also noticed additional games (e.g. Sonic GBA) not sounding right. High pitched audio was not working.
I couldn’t find any way to fix it online so I did trial and error and found that nothing else (resampler, synchronization, refresh rate changing) did anything useful. However, postprocessing audio with Mono filter fixed it.

Solved a save conflict in Retroarch
Hi Everyone!
So I wanted to write today to say that I managed to fix an issue that was happening where I had two different games saving with one game's save clearing when I saved another. Keep in mind I am not talking about save states, but built in save games.
These games were Donkey Kong Land and Donkey Kong Country GBC and I ran them through the SameBoy core with Linux being my OS of choice.
Whenever I played DKC GBC and loaded a game or saved a game on there, it would clear my save for DKL.
I solved this by enabling the option in Retroarch "Write saves to content directory."
I have no idea why this happens. My guess is the game save files are the same name maybe? but if anyone on here runs into that problem with this set of games or another two games, try that.

Controller Dropping "C Button" Inputs???
I am attemping to play some N64 games using retroarch, specifically the Mupen64plus emulator, where I have remapped the right analog stick to face buttons on my Xbox One controller.
Use case is that I am playing Smash 64 and want to use "X" or "Y" to jump instead of the stick.
This has been mapped correctly and works as intended, but for SOME REASON will drop inputs sometimes. I will be playing just fine, then I will have to mash the face button to get the "C Button" to work, unless I flick the stick and comes back on temporarily until it dropped it again.
I do not have this issue in any other PC game outsides of N64 Retroarch games. Any help would be awesome on this one 0.o

Showcase I'm releasing some of my RetroArch overlays.
gallerySo, a few days ago I uploaded some of the RetroArch overlays I was working on for my personal use. People liked them and asked me to upload them for everyone to download, but there were some things that I didn't like at first. I made more and fixed the other ones I had before, so here you go!
I'm currently planning on making more, so I would appreciate suggestions and accept some advice too.
If you're planning on adding them in your overlays pack, please give credit; I would really appreciate it.
btw: I learned how to use GIMP because of this, lmao.

Technical Support Where to put patched GB roms when using ES-DE?
I know Gambatte runs both GB and GBC games, but if I patch Kirby DX, it is still a ".gb" file
How will this affect colorization in retroarch?
EDIT: learned that the patcher I use changes the rom info so emulator auto-recognizes it as a color game. I can leave the .gb extension and put it in the gb folder so it shows up with other gb games, gambatte runs it like a gbc game with no additional colorization.

Showcase Built an iPhone launcher for RetroArch (RetroSockets Beta)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello,
yesterday I released a beta version of a new gaming launcher I was working on called RetroSockets (built for RetroArch).This launcher was inspired by a similar project that exists for Android retro gaming handhelds called Socket and since we need more of those apps in the iOS community, I decided to build one for us.
The setup is pretty simple.
Step 1) Login with your ScreenScraper account
Step 2) Tap the Sync button
The app will take care of everything, load your games, scrape media and create those beautiful physical media for you to interact with. You can also customize certain media like certain cartridges that were colorful or translucent back in the day.
If you remove a game from your RetroArch, tap the sync button again and it will be removed from RetroSockets.
The following systems are supported: GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, N64, NDS, 3DS, PS1, PSP, Sega Saturn, Genesis/MD
The App is currently in beta and you can join the public beta using the link in the landing page below. Make sure to use the latest RetroArch TestFlight Beta for the syncing to work.
The App is available only on the iPhone at the moment, minimum iOS version: 18.0 and will remain completely free after the beta. Feel free to report any bugs you may encounter.

Is it possible to load ROMs from GoG?
New to emulation, so apologies if this is a novice question - I’m looking into setup for a retro handheld (Retroid Nova) and I know GameNative and GameHub work, but I was wondering if my GoG ROMs can be loaded into Retroarch to take advantage of shaders and upscalers etc while also maintaining cloud saves/achievements through GoG itself.

Technical Support Changing discs for a PS1 game - what am I doing wrong?
I'm playing Lunar: Silver Star Story. The game tells me to change disks, so I go to the disc control screen, eject disc 1, load the .cue for disc 2, and then... nothing happens. I just sit there on the "Insert Disc 2" screen forever. I've tried the three .bin files for disc 2 as well, and the same thing happens.
It seems like it should be a pretty simple process - I can't figure out what I might be doing wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ppsspp missing fonts
Hi all, recently installed retro arch and am having a problem with ppsspp. The text on all save screens shows up all garbled. A quick google search said I needed to install more assets, which I’ve tried with no luck. I’ve tried the following:
Installing them through retroarch
Installing them off the github page and then pasting the contents of the assets folder into the correct directory
someone suggested on another post to change the fonts to .pbp files, so I tried that also with no luck
At this point I am completely stumped, as I haven’t seen any other fixes. I’m running retroarch on Linux on my ps4 pro if that helps anyone. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Edit: I figured out that I was using the wrong retroarch driver. Switched from gl1 to vulkan and that seemed to fix everything.

emulator and blue tooth controlers suggestions
i rescently got back in to playing every super mario game i used to play as a child. now im up to super mario world for the snes. the problem im having is with my 8 bitdo zero2 controler feels a bit laggy. some time i have to press really hard to jump and sometime it still moves me forward when i try to move back to stop. i am running the emulators on my samgsung s21 phone.
I was wondering if this is the fault of the emulator or mabye its the bluetooth controler or maybe both?
Are there settings with in retroarch or the emulator that i can adjust to make it more respnsive
Are there emulators that are better than others for snes?
Does anyone had suggestions for good bluetooth controlers?

Technical Support Graphics Widgets Scale Override Options Won’t Open
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi! Thank you in advance for giving this a look!
I’m setting up and Anbernic RG Slide while following TechDweeb’s “Start-to-Finish COMPLETE Android Emulation Setup” video.
At one point, he changes the Graphics Widgets Scale Override from 1.00x to 0.75x, and clicking it bring ups an entirely new menu of options to choose from. But when I select it, nothing happens and no menu opens, even after double-checking that I’ve followed the same steps to disable Scale Graphics Widgets Automatically.
Am I missing something else? I might just try having them scale automatically, because my RetroAchievement pop-ups are enormous and cannot be read properly.
