1. How to obtain the ROMs

First, you will need a ROM file. This file is basically a virtual disk/game cartridge that RetroArch can read. You can use a device such as this to rip your own Roms from your game cartridges.

I recommend this if you don’t have a ripper or game cartridges. Piratery You can download them from a generous website such as
vimm.net – [vimm.net]

. Downloads are fast and there are no’sussy” ads.

2. Downloading the Cores

RetroArch is not an emulator, but it is a platform that provides emulators within it. RetroArch can be downloaded as DLC for the Steam version. This adds to your library automatically when you download RetroArch. These emulators are available in 53 different formats. It is usually easy to identify which console they are. Google is your friend if you don’t know what console they are for!

Before you can play RetroArch, you will need to download all the Cores.

3. RetroArch ROMs added

This section can be a bit tricky so make sure you read it carefully.

First, create separate folders for each console’s respective ROMs. This will make it easier for you to identify which one is which. This folder should be easily accessible, such as your desktop of downloaded folders.

Next, open RetroArch. Before we move on, it’s worth noting that RetroArch can be used to return you to the original location if you accidentally go to the wrong section. Select ‘Load Content” from the ‘Main Menu’ tab. Next, click the button that says “C:” (or whatever your storage drive prefix might be). Next, navigate to the folder where you saved your ROMs. If they weren’t saved at the root of the drive, click ‘Users’ and then the user’s username. Then navigate to the folder. After you have selected the content you wish to access, a list with suggested Cores will be displayed. Choose the one that is compatible with the console where your ROM is stored. You will then be in the game!

To view a list ROMs that you have previously opened in RetroArch, click the ‘History” tab.
