How do I find out what cores RetroArch is using?

My skill and experience with LaunchBox/BigBox and associated technologies is increasing, thanks largely to this community. But I need help again.  🙂

I'm now at a point where I need to configure my controllers (8BitDo Arcade Sticks) for the various consoles. I've got MAME worked out already; I have a "universal" layout to start with, and I'm tweaking the layout for each game as needed. So we're good there. My issue is with RetroArch. When I was importing my ROMs I pretty much just accepted LaunchBox's defaults/recommendations for each console. Now I need to go back and configure the controllers for each console. I started with Super NES and guessed that I'm using "SNES9X - Current" as the RetroArch core since that seems to be the most highly regarded one for that platform, and through that I was able to configure the controllers and it works nicely now, so yay.

But I have another dozen-plus consoles to deal with now and relying on guesswork doesn't really appeal to me. Is there a way to figure out what core each of my selected consoles are using? I thought it would be as simple as right-clicking on the console from within LaunchBox, selecting EDIT, and seeing the information there but that was just wishful thinking. I also tried Tools->Manage->Emulators and Tools->Manage->Platforms, both of which struck me as plausible places to find this information, but still no luck.

So, I give up: How do I find out what core RetroArch is using for a given console?

In LB

>Tools >Manage >Emulators

Select Retroarch and edit. Click on the "Associated Platforms" tab. All platforms you have assigned to use Retroach will show there and each core you selected to use will be listed.

Ah, got it — but it's Tools -> Manage -> Emulators. Thanks!

Yeah, pretty bad typo. LOL.

Glad you are sorted.
