Beatlemaniac19 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Hey guys. Working with RetroArch is pretty great. I've got all of my systems working. With the Nestopia core, it works just fine for me, but on RetroArch's wiki it says that it requires NstDatabase.xml for operation. I searched my RetroArch folder and couldn't find this xml file, but everything works fine. What is this file's purpose and do I need it in some instances?

Lordmonkus Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 As for the technical purpose of it I am not qualified to explain why it is needed and what it does exactly but after taking a quick look inside it with notepad it looks like it tells the emulator core which mappers each game uses. By default the .xml file is not included but here is the one that I have since it contains no copyright content, just download it and drop it into your \Retroarch\system\ folder. NstDatabase.xml 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatlemaniac19 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 After looking at the contents, I agree. It does appear to have a tab on all of the variation in game cartridge and chip types. Thanks a bunch @lordmonkus love your tutorial vids btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
