Hello,

I have a problem to use retroarch with cabrio, I'm trying different configurations without any success
For example:

<executable>retroarch</executable>
<params>
<param>
<name>-L /usr/lib/libretro/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so</name>
</params>

I have this when a game is started, of course when I try the same command in shell the game is started without any problem, any help would be appreciated, thank

I think it's something simple. Looks like you are missing a closing </param> statement after your </name>.

Regards,
Joseph

I use a trick now, a bash script

#!/bin/bash
retroarch -L /usr/lib/libretro/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so $1

And I call the script in cabrio, It works good

You can put executable as retroarch, param as -L and other param as /usr/lib/libretro/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so for example, like it:

< emulators >
    < emulator >
        < name >Genesis Plus GX< /name >
        < display-name >Mega Drive< /display-name >
        < executable >retroarch< /executable >
        < platform >Mega Drive< /platform >
        < params >
            < param >
                < name >-L< /name >
            < /param >
            < param >
                < name >/usr/lib/libretro/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so< /name >
            < /param >
        < /params >
    < /emulator >
< /emulators >

So you don't need a script to call retroarch.
