The Switch unlike Android, Linux, or Windows devices does not have a place for fonts to be installed. I have seen on various sites and referrenced in various videos that said default system font is treated as copyright and absent from the PPSSPP emulator. The common thread between all these games are that they do not use an indepent font (or fonts) in their game but instead simply utilize the PSP's internal default font. This makes an RPG such as Lunar completely unplayable. These titles while loading on RetroArch fail to display any in-game dialogue and all areas where text would be displayed is missing.

It tends to do a good job of mapping your gamepad’s controls up with specific cores too.There are a selection of games (including Lunar Silver Star Harmony) which I notice launch in RetroArch's core for PPSSPP but not under the standalone version of PPSSPP on the Nintendo Switch. If you have a gamepad set up with Windows (and you really should), Retroarch should detect it automatically. You’re better off finding standalone emulators for those consoles. If you’re wondering where the cores for hit consoles like the Playstation 2 and GameCube are, the PS2 one is unavailable in Retroarch, while the GameCube one isn’t particularly stable. N64: Mupen64 (performance), ParaLLEl (accuracy).Sega Master System/Genesis/CD: Genesis Plus GX.To download cores for your chosen platform - be it N64 or Commodore 64 - head over to the far left icon (Main Menu) in Retroarch, select Load Core > Download Core then select the ones you want.įor reference, here are the cores we think work best for each major platform, taking into account performance and accuracy (there are plenty of other platforms you can get cores for - these are just the biggies).
