App Details
Notice: This is a fairly large package, so it may take some time to download! Therefore, in order to keep file sizes down, this package contains only six cores: melonds, mgba, gambatte, mupen64plus_next, snes9x, and nestopia. For other cores, use the built-in Online Updater. For more themes, use the built-in Online Updater.
Additionally, if you are seeing asset/icon issues with your theme, try: Main menu -> online updater -> update assets, and restarting.

For more information regarding RetroArch, the location/names of BIOS files, and compatibility with ROMs, please refer to the official Libretro documentation at:

Use the sidebar under "Core Documentation" to read more about the core you're looking for.
F.A.Q.
Q: My Switch has crashed/softlocked, and RetroArch doesn't work properly!
A: First, make sure you are on a Horizon OS version (I.E. Nintendo's Switch OS) higher than 1.0.0. Second, no matter which firmware you are on, ALWAYS FORMAT YOUR SD CARD AS FAT32; NO EXCEPTIONS. If you continue to use RetroNX under the ExFAT filesystem, we cannot provide additional support beyond the previously elaborated-upon disclaimer.
Q: I'm trying to save changes to the settings, but it doesn't commit!
A: Save the current configuration with no content loaded. You can do this from any core.
Q: My question is not listed here/where can I go for additional support?
A: The fastest method for support and staying up-to-date on progress for RetroNX, you can join the Discord server with the following link:

When you are posting about issues related to the cores (assuming you have read through this readme and identified your problem is uncommon/unrelated to the above), please list the following pieces of information in your report alongside the issue:
- Horizon OS version (I.E. Switch OS firmware version)
- Core used
- Whether core used is a Master/Stable or Nightly/Unstable; what is the builddate of said core?
- Version of the Hekate payload used
Make sure to post in the channel listed #retroarch-homebrew.
