Black Screen When Launching Games Through RetroArch

[aNIGRO]

I confirm this method.

if encountered in 2025--->

Downloading the RA from the RA website and manually installing it, WORKS  on ANDROID! 

Thank you!

I did that, but now Launchbox says Retroarch is not installed, even though it is

That means the version you installed on your device is not the one you are choosing inside of LaunchBox.

Sometimes it could be hard to know, as there's just so many different variants of RetroArch.

Which version did you install? and which version are you choosing inside of LaunchBox for that platform?

I think you already gave me some help on my own topic

For people following here, I am using a Rocktek G2 android box, the retroarch that Launchbox downloads automatically doea jot work on that device. I downloaded from Reteoarch website the 32bit android APK, and this one works. Now I need to make Launchbox to see this instalation and Faeran pointed out that I can manually set the emulator I need on the extra options for each system.

 For those who still have Black Screen on Game Launch, try uninstall whatever version of RA you have, and try installing the version from Official RA website, next do your desired configuration of RA settings and Cores etc.. and try Vulkan as main video driver. On some devices ... this is the solution. Hope it works for you too! @Anarcho
