I'm using the Steam version of RetroArch and I have all the DLC downloaded, also the directory folder i have selected includes all my roms, SNES and Sega 32X are no exception. I'm starting to get frustrated with all my troubleshooting failing, so any help will be greatly appreciated!
update: the problem is thankfully fixed thanks to those who helped me!

Embarrassing Edit: apparently what I wanted works with no effort. So.

I use the 8Bitdo Ultimate Mobile Gaming controller which has two back paddles. In the 8bitdo app you can assign these buttons to replicate other existing buttons just like the Switch 2 Pro controller, but they aren't meant to be separate inputs. But a third-party app like Button Mapper CAN see them and assign them to other functions.

Is there a way to make Retroarch on Android see these buttons so I can assign hotkeys to them?

^{I promise I did search because I'm sure this question has been asked and answered before, but I could not find it. There is a bit in the FAQ for this subreddit that covers the concept of your controller having more buttons than there are on the Retropad, but I don't think it directly answers my question.}

Technically not a retroarch issue but im trying to use my wiimote and dolphin bar as a poor mans light gun setup. And it would work perfectly if only the mouse/reticle would not freeze a little bit after every shot making any game with moving targets impossible. Any idea's on a solution?

Hello,

I’ve been enjoying using retroarch to emulate a ton of systems on my Retroid Pocket Classic. I noticed that whenever I charge the system battery to 100%, the device resets all applications and the only one that gives me trouble is retroarch. When this app hard resets, it loses a lot of (but not all) save states within the emulator and any save data within the game files. Is there something wrong with my hotkeys or am I doing something wrong with creating save states? Is there an easy way for me to test and fix this? Thanks!

Added my screenscraper account in the json file and ran the scraper on 44 GameBoy Roms and it downloaded all of it to OS SD card(SD1). Core is set to Gambette.

However no boxart or text is showing.

Am I missing something?

Could it be my SD2 rom folder is named "GB" instead of "Nintendo Game Boy" ?

Been playing Pokemon Soul Silver, I finally got Fly, used it, and my game has been on a pure white screen since. My autosave happened right as the screen happened and I accidentally manual saved due to pressing the wrong hot key. Is this salvageable or did I just lose a 5-6 hour playthrough?

How to setup retroarch on Xbox?

Is it possible to install a PS2 core into RetroArch and play PS2 games on Android? There is a reason for me not to use a PS2 emulator like NetherSX2. I want to play PS2 games on my Android TV box, but no such PS2 emulators are supported on Android TVs; however, RetroArch is supported. Therefore, I want to install a PS2 core inside RetroArch to play them, but I do not know how to set that up. Also, how am I supposed to load the PS2 BIOS there?
