Can't Launch Game

[rachel_06]

I was following the tutorial found here but when I went to try open Super Mario World it just cycled through a bunch of background images. What did I do wrong?

Which SNES core are you using for Super Mario World?

nestopia_libretro.dll

Nestopia is an NES emulator, for starters. Use SNES9x or BSNES.

It happens haha. Both Snes9x and Bsnes have (multiple) cores in RetroArch. Snes9x is easier as some of the Bsnes cores require special roms. You should be able to point RA to your Snes9x core and then to your rom and start playing.

The BSnes-Mercury cores do not require the special chip rom dumps, you have the core option to HLE emulate these chips. You can use these chip dumps if you choose to though.

BSnes will give you higher accuracy and the ability to play MSU-1 patched roms.
