Hi everyone,
Long time lurker here, just registered to say thanks!
I have used the forums countless times and have always managed to find the answer to any question or issues I may have had with retroarch/lakka/libretro thanks to the knowledgeable users and developers.
I have been gaming since the SNES days and have always had an interest in rare/interesting games that were not easily obtained here in the UK.
I imported cartridges from US/Japan and used an Action Replay to get them to work in my PAL SNES. I loved Mario RPGā¦ Still do.
I had my PS1 āchippedā simply to play Final Fantasy V.
I stumbled into emulation around 1998 when I first had access to a PC and this led me to fan translations like Seiken Densetsu 3.
Samurai Spirits RPG was always a curiosity for me. I tried the fan-translation patch but couldnāt really get into it for whatever reason.
Fast forward to 2019 and I am playing the unpatched original Neo Geo CD image on Retroarch with AI Serviceā¦ It is truly astonishing that this is possible.
There are clearly some very clever individuals with a huge passion for old games that have been working very hard to make this happen.
Thank you!

Loved your comment bud, because you are right; I never stopped to think about it, but now that I do, I cannot recall any other community I was/am part of, that is as positive and rewarding as this one. And I donāt know why is that, but I love it.
Huge shout-out to everybody working in the background, making Libretro and RA an all-around awesome experience, but specially to @hunterk; you deserve a gold medal for your tireless support in the forums, positive attitude, immense knowledge, and love for what you do.
See you around guys.

I would also like to express my thanks and gratitude.
Iāve used RetroArch on and off for years, mostly just to mess around. Recently i had a choice to makeā¦
- Spend tons of money on a scaler and an elaborate setup.
- Spend even more on FPGA consoles.
- Try a MiSTer.
- Or emulate.
I decided I didnāt need to play my original carts and bought a cheap PC (Dell OptiPlex 3060 Micro i3 8100T). I use it daily for almost all non HDMI consoles and itās been fucking great. Iām still trying to figure out GC/Wii but almost everything below that (looking at you N64) has been fantastic.
I LOVE all the neat shaders to play around with. Seriously cool and i couldnāt emulate these games without them. Even if my iGPU canāt run them all, heh. Having everything retro in one small box, running a single program with tons of options/settings and massive attention to detail, made by clearly passionate people, ready to fire up whenever i feel like itā¦ is amazing.
I am kinda scared to even try run ahead. Less lag than OG hardware might make it hard to actually play those consoles in the future LOL
Thank you for all your hard work guys.

Thanks for the kind words!
I highly recommend checking out a MiSTer, too, if you have the money to spare. Itās really great, and is an excellent solution for people running CRTs. It obviously runs fewer games/consoles than we do, but the ones it covers are mostly comparable to the top-tier software emulation equivalents, and they naturally have low latency.

I donāt know when it happened, but one of you beautiful folks updated Flycast to support the .m3u file extension. Last time I had checked it wasnāt there, so I am just super pleased to see it get added. I know it seems small, but those little things are always very exciting to me. No more being bombarded with 13 different entries for Shenmue in my frontend <3
Thank you!

RUMBLE!?!?
Ok, so I had to completely reinstall Windows 10 from scratch today, and apparently my reward for doing so is that now RetroArch is making my X1 controller rumble!? Iām sure this is old news that rumble is a supported featureā¦ but I was SHOCKED when I fired my trusty PP7 in Goldenye and felt it shake in my hand.
I donāt know what Iād been doing wrong all this time but, itās one of those little things that make me love the software, and by extension all the fine folks who pour their heart and soul into this for everyone. Now, if youāll excuse me, Iām off to go see what else is shakinā. ba dum tiss
Thank you Libretro team!!!

Iāve never tried, but I spotted cheats which force feedback for older systems, Genesis, Snes, etc., not something Iād like trying myself but, interesting nevertheless. Those are in the cheats folder in RA.

Oh weird! Thatās kinda cool. Iāll have to check that out. I havenāt really tried out the cheats stuff yet. I wish there was a way to make the actual Game Genie/Game Shark etc cartridges and discs work in RetroArch. Man thatād be so cool.
Does it ever stop getting better?
Man I hope more cores introduce this.
Thatās amazing.
