Can someone explain how runahead works?
It wasn't originally developed for BSNES. It seems to go as far back as 2018 with a patch by Nitsuja for a TAS geared Gens fork then submitted to RA by Dwedit in 2018
- where do I get gameboy shaders at to download?
- [question] Anyone know to how to get rid of the mouse cursor in DOSbox-pure? Yes, I've tried f11 mouse toggle. Normally in pc/mac to fix this, I would go into Full screen mode, and it would hide the mouse cursor. I'm using a firestick on my TV in this picture instead. Can the arrow be hidden?

what Is a safe overclock for the pi 4 2Gb
I encountered less framedips with mvc2 by using the standalone version of flycast. It's a wip flycast.sh script from here: https://github.com/cmitu/RetroPie-Setup/tree/flycast-standalone
-
Why does everyone think Redream is better then Flycast?
I managed to find the standalone flycast that's faster than both. Here it is if anyone's interested. It's not finished. Games have to be loaded from within flycast. I had audio cutting out until I switched to sdl2 but I can't save the audio settings. https://github.com/cmitu/RetroPie-Setup/tree/flycast-standalone

Solutions for some common problems on Raspberry Pi
run a test version of 1.9.9 or 1.9.14 that definitely works
-
Is there any way to manually replace RetroArch with the most up to date version?
You can install 1.9.14 from this wip repo but it's unsupported. Unless you really need a feature then don't bother https://github.com/cmitu/RetroPie-Setup/tree/retroarch-1.9.14

How to downgrade retro arch
...oh, I see what they were getting at with the downloading the .diff files. That's coming from a different user's fork, so I guess you can't do it with a simple "git checkout" (I think? I'm still pretty new to git, myself). However, I am seeing four of them in the directory, not three. Are you looking at the version here?: https://github.com/cmitu/RetroPie-Setup/tree/7eb7e547e652c8519c4c3855318a7bff5580f3f7/scriptmodules/emulators/retroarch
