I was originally going to continue showing the process of managing a ROM collection via DAT files and a copy of CLRMame Pro, but let's take a detour! A lot of people had questions about RetroArch and how to configure it. I get it! It's a ton of menus with a bunch of arcane, wordy options that don't make immediate sense.

So let's get into it: from basic menu configuration to the easy way to build your playlists, I'm spending a lot of time going through most of what the emulator has to offer. Check it out, lemme know if you have any further questions and let me know what you'd like to see next!

How To Configure RetroArch From Scratch

Hello Patrons! This time around let's look at RetroArch and it's many, many... MANY menus to see if I can show you how to find the options the matter, how to build a playlist, and just about everything in-between.

Thanks for adding the #emulation tag, I missed the first video and it made it much easier to find!

Sweet, now I can see all the shit I did wrong by doing it myself and not really looking anything up.

Thank you for this. I tried RetroArch on Steam Deck a while back and found it...intimidating.

Robert Lane

This solved my one bugbear of Retroarch, the time it takes for it to scan files to build playlists. That one toggle has turned hours into minutes. Thank you
