Need some help setting up the RP3+. Since i aim to use Daijinhso, are there any better options on having emulators for the Nes till Snes and Genesis games other than having retroarch installed ? (kbin.social)

Having SD card as portable storage, do i need to reconfigure the paths in retroarch every time i pull out the sdcard for file transfering. because it gets a different name every time ? Bonus - how do you copy stuff over, using linux ?

I recommend Retroarch for those systems because it's just easier that way. You install the cores and set up hot keys once and you're done. RA and RP3+ will play all those systems just fine, you might just have to futz with the Daijisho path. It's when the systems get newer that the performance benefits of a stand alone emulator outweigh the RA convenience IMO.

Your SD card mount/path shouldn't change every time. But I don't take it out much - use FTP to transfer your ROMs.

@afraidofmybasement somehow my rp wont play nicely with my linux machine, i have to remove the card to set it up. I know about keeping it just retroarch, but i found daijisho's ui so much nicer and easier to use! Im preparing console to give it to my 9 yr old, so im looking to make it very simple
