So I have RetroArch 1002 working and playing games on OSX 10.9.5 with a wireless xbox360 control and it’s awesome, but I’m having some nagging problems that I haven’t been able to figure it out in several hours of fiddling with it and searching.
Every time I open RetroArch, I get an error message saying “No Libretro cores were found. Select “Go->Cores Directory” from the menu and place libretro dylib files there.” When I select Go and drop down to Cores Directory, nothing happens. Where do I need to put my core files to make Retro happy?
From this point, I have to go down to RetroArch Config and browse to the config file. I don’t know what it defaults to or where the default config file is located. I’ve searched my system with spotlight and manually and only found the config files I’ve made. The config it defaults to will play games but if I try to load a state, it wont find it because it isn’t looking in the core specific location. I have core specific configs turned on and it saves that file, but it doesn’t load it when I open a game from my history.
Really appreciate any help. Thanks!
PS I had a lot of difficulty initially because I didn’t know that X is enter and Z is back. Couldn’t find that info anywhere in the documentation or on this site. Also, when you go into Help it says “no button” and is generally incorrect.
