May be best to re enter retroarch and make sure your system/bios directory has been saved to the location you set as that's very important for retroarch to know where your mame hash folder is.įor this guide we're going to use Bally Astrocade as our first system to set up. Make sure that your configuration is set to 'Save Configuration on Exit' and then exit retroarch. Also if you have an ext hard drive and want to save space on your device you can move the whole 'com.retroarch' folder to a destination of your choice, as long as you have your Retroarch 'System/BIOS' directory pointed to the 'system' folder where ever you choose to move it to. It's also a good idea to put your bios folder in there to have everything together (optional). Step 4: I believe Retroarch sets your 'System/BIOS' directory by default to your system folder but if it doesn't you can set it manually by going to Android>data>com.retroarch>files>system and then hit.

Here's an example pic of how I have my folders: After creating your mame folder, copy the hash folder that you just extracted and paste it into your newly created Retroarch system mame and mess2014 folders. Step 3: Create a 'mame' and 'mess2014' folder within your Retroarch system folder which can be found on your Internal Storage in Android>data>com.retroarch>files>system( If you don't see a system folder then create one as well). Step 2: After installing mame and extracting it to a destination of your choice you'll see a hash folder. Step 1: Download mame for PC (if you already have mame hash folders or can download them seperately from somewhere then skip to step 3). Retroarch for Android is currently up to version 0.182 as of this posting so get that version. Retroarch MESS 2014 0.159 790dca5 core (The d-pad seems to work on the few systems I tried like Neo Geo CD so this core may be the better option to use until the mame core is fixed.) One trick around this is to open Retroarch and go to player 1 bindings and re map the left analog then exit Retroarch.) The guys at Libretro are already aware of this issue and I could not reconfig my gamepad in anyway to get the d-pad to work. Retroarch MAME 0.182 core (Pre warning: As of this posting on this version of mame the d-pad does not work but instead is relocated to the left analog.

Nvidia Shield TV (2015 16GB version) OTA 5.0 Thatman84 I thought I'd attempt to make an updated version based off of your Atari 5200 tutorial.
