I have a question and was not able to start a new thread. In Retroarch 1.0.0.2 on iOS 6.1.6, is there a way to send the audio/video through an apple av composite cable? Was this capability programmed in this version of Retroarch I have tried this and only Audio comes through. I thought TV mode would allow it to work but it didn’t. I have searched through the RGUI menu of settings but nothing to make it happen. I have also tried using the “DisplayOut” tweak via cydia which results in the audio/video coming through but there is a lag. Please advise if you know further info of how I could make this happen. Thank you.
I don’t think there’s any way to do it without latency. The issue is that Apple’s AV cables are actually AirPlay-over-wire, so they have the same latency as AirPlay, but with a digital-to-analog conversion on top.
Hello. I got massy output with “Apple macOS High Sierra (and later) with Metal2”.
I have tried selecting font manually, and/or removing configuration files, but no luck.
“Apple macOS / OSX” without Metal2 did work fine
Hey, yeah, same result here for me, even from the nightlies.
the same question for me. Thank you for your help! Maybe we can get the fix version as soon as possible. I hope so!
Yep, this is happening to me too, in Mojave 10.14.5. Also, tried using my 8BitDo SF30 Pro controller wirelessly, but the left analog stick will register moving down as moving up, even right after defining it correctly.
Hi!
I have a pretty noobish question i suppose but i can’t get my emulators going …
i installed 1.7.7 on mojave and installed a few cores for running snes. i did a scan of the directory where i put the roms but i don’t get a menu item for my emulator. i even selected the core first. how can i open the games? i tried following guides but they have a section for each console after installing cores. i don’t 
there are a few reasons a scan might not pick up your ROMs, but you can always just load core > load content and navigate to the ROMs in your filesystem.
hi. i can’t get it to work … i tried snes and gba … says: failed to load. i tried zip and bps (unzipped) but no use. not gba core -> gba roms nor snes core -> snes roms. it did successfully load one snes rom but the screen kept black so i had to kill the process …
You have a bigger issue, then, if you can’t load core > load content. Bps is usually a patch file. Are you sure you actually have playable games?
Apple macOS High Sierra (and later) with Metal2 crashes immediately on start.
