The RetroArch bindings work across all emulators, and are designed to consistently mimic the gamepads that came with the appropriate systems. Click that and you can map buttons to your gamepad. Now scroll down to “Input User 1 Binds”, and scroll down to “User 1 Bind All”. With your keyboard, head to the Settings menu, which is represented at the top of the screen by two gears. Scroll down to “Input”, then hit Enter. In our tests, an Xbox 360 controller worked out-of-the-box, but if your controller isn’t working to browse the menu–or you want to configure the buttons differently–we can change that. Of course, if you want to browse your collection from the couch with a gamepad, the first thing you’re going to want to do is set up your controller to work with RetroArch. “Enter” lets you select a menu item, “Backspace” lets you jump back a level. Up and down scrolls through the list right and left jumps from one menu to another, indicated by the icons at the top of the screen. Instead, browse the menu using your arrow keys. Click wherever you want, nothing is going to happen. The first thing you need to know is your mouse is not useful here. The RetroArch user interface can be overwhelming at first, throwing you directly into a menu of configuration options. To launch RetroArch, simply double-click “retroarch.exe”. I put mine in “D:\Retroarch”, but it’s up to you. Drag the contents of this archive to a folder, and put that folder anywhere you’d like. You’ll need to download and install 7-Zip if you haven’t already, in order to open the archive. For example, if you’re a Windows user, click the “Windows” folder.īrowse and you’ll find a 7-Zip archive containing Retroarch. Here you’ll find the latest release for your platform. Head to the Libretro home page, then click the “Downloads” link in the top-right menu. Whether you’re a Nintendo, PlayStation, Sega, or even DOS fanatic, you can add your favorites to one unified menu. RetroArch makes things easier by putting all your games in the same place, and giving you a couch-ready interface for browsing your collection. We’ve shown you how to play your favorite retro games on your Windows computer, and those tools still work.
