Use the right arrow key to access these menus and browse the games.įrom here you can browse your game collection. Once everything is done, head to the home screen and you’ll see a new icon: the controllers for each system you’ve added roms for. Yellow text at the bottom of the screen will show you your progress. From the main menu, head to “Add Content”. Pick “Scan Directory”, then browse your file system until you find your folder full of ROMs. RetroArch can scan a folder full of ROMs and organize them for you. We’ll assume you already have a collection of ROMs for the purposes of this guide. Now that you’ve added some cores, it’s time to add your ROMs. For the most part, however, they should be similar, so for now just choose one. If you’re not sure which core to choose for a particular system, don’t worry, you can experiment to find out which cores work best later. Cores are sorted by the systems they emulate, so download something to run all of your games. From here you can download a wide variety of cores. Scroll through the menu and download as many cores as you like. I’ve not had the best of luck with some cores on Retroarch, but after some tweaking, I did get great performance out of some of them.Select “Core Updater”, the first item in the resulting menu. With everything updated, installed, let’s get some games going! Retroarch needs you to load the core then the game, so grab your favourite games from your *cough* very legal *cough* backup websites and put them onto an external drive to get going. That or just wait for our Linux tutorial. Missing cores are simply down to them not being ported just yet, so with a bit of patience, you’ll be able to use them all at some point in the near future. It’ll take a little while, but once you’re done you shouldn’t have to fiddle with any updates for the time being. Next in the Main Menu, choose Online Updater and just update everything. You can do this in Settings > Input > Menu Controls > Menu Swap OK & Cancel Buttons. It’s using the Japanese method of confirm and cancel, with Circle being Cross and Cross being Circle. I’d suggest upon using the app for the first time, you want to change the button layout. When you launch it, it’ll simply just install all 72 cores made available as of now, missing out on just a few newer console cores.įrom here you can close out and begin to load up Retroarch. Even the version of Retroarch that’s on PS4 actually has these buttons, but it has no way to phone home and even changing the resources link to the appropriate one didn’t work. In any other instance, you’d be simply downloading the cores from within Retroarch as you see fit. Then, once you’ve pressed Download and then Install, return back into the sidebar and grab the Retroarch Core Installer, which you’re going to need to even be able to use the program. First, grab Retroarch from the Emulator category. With our newly installed Homebrew Store, you want to head into it and on the side menu, there’s an option to search by category. However, on PS4, it’s a little bit different. It uses ‘cores’ rather than sending you to different emulators for specific systems, which on other systems, usually allows you to install what you want as you play. Retroarch is a free project that aims to collate and make emulation as easy as possible on multiple platforms. This is part of our Jailbreaking the PS4 series, if you’ve not done so and have a PlayStation 4 on 9.00 or below, then have a look at how to do it and install the Homebrew Store.
