YunoHost specific features
Use Shared ROMs library
Although you can upload a ROM at runtime, retroarch may have access to the ROMs you already have on your server:
- Games are located in
/opt/yunohost/retroarch/assets/cores
. A symbolic link is created to this folder in/home/yunohost.multimedia/share/Games
, so that you can place your games from here - cores have to be indexed to work : script
/opt/yunohost/retroarch/indexer.sh
run every 5 minutes to index all games inopt/yunohost/retroarch/assets/cores
Supported architectures
Limitations
- cannot save game, in fact, cannot write at all... so configuration is lost each time you start again
- no user management
- some core are listed but not implemented : they do not work, the issue is from the upstream app.
