Sharp x86000 / NEC-PC98 dataset
I've been trying to pretty up my collection by making sure everything is validated and has the appropriate boxart. About the only things i've had problems with are the Sharp X86000 and NEC-PC98. These have named boxarts/etc found in the libretro git but I can't seem to find any corresponding dat file to link any particular romset with the retroarch database. Has anyone else dealt with this?

RG35XX playstation performance.
If you want to dig in deeper, you can enable rumble for a few games, as well. It's not so simple, though, and will require some work (lots of trial and error). A few PSX games that support DualShock will just treat the analog stick as another D-pad or simply not use analog. These work fine with no tweaking (such as with Tekken 3). Some games will use analog for everything with DualShock enabled. For these you can remap the D-pad to the analog X/Y directions (such as with Wipeout 3). Some games will use separate controls like D-pad for menus and analog for movement, which means you cannot remap (as you'll then lose access to one of the controls). Of those games, there are a few that let you go to their Settings to control how D-pad/analog work, allowing a work-around (such as with Gran Turismo). Some don't, and you simply have to go without rumble. You can find a partial list of games that support rumble here.

Snes9x2010 - Onion OS 4.2 Functioning Netplay Core - Guide
Some of the core info files in Onion may need updating (you can search libretro docs to understand whether a specific core supports netplay and which save state format), also see recent core info files here (these may not represent the build of the core available in Onion). If replacing/updating core info files, you should also delete your core_info.cache (in the same folder).

Easily organize your RetroArch BIOS files with igir!
The best way to do it would be to dynamically generate a dat from files listed in each core definition file at https://github.com/libretro/libretro-core-info. However, even those definition files don't list everything (key/unique console data for citra etc., pcsx2 bios)

Core Sideloading on Linux
I've been trying to setup RetroArch on my steam deck, and I'm trying to use the Steam version to use those sweet-sweet cloud saves. I need to use cores that aren't in the steam version, but I can't figure out side loading on linux. I downloaded the Linux x86_64 cores from the repository, as well as info files from this repo.

How to get 3DS emulation core (mostly Citra) onto RetroArch which is on my Series S?
From a quick analysis of https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super/tree/master/dist/info, there are about 30 hardware-rendered cores available on retroarch :

Dolphin on steamos?
As I discovered the hard way, this doesn't include the core info files. Your cores won't be usable at all in Retroarch until you place the corresponding info file alongside it in the folder too. You can get them here
