dolphin froze and my controller turned into a vibrator, had to sigkill retroarch
cool

@chjara RetroArch moment. Tbh I can never think of a time I've used that program where it has actually justified the time and effort cost of setting it up and ironing out all the annoying edge cases.

@allison @chjara For me, RetroArch was only ever good for playing CaveStory on my phone (it was the only way to play it on Android at the time).

@xianc78 @allison @chjara the only good time to use retroarch is when nothing else works on your device. Otherwise it's a convoluted clusterfuck of a program that uses one of the worst UIs ever. The only real benefit it gives you is being able to map settings to a bunch of different emulators but that can also be a burden.

I much prefer to just use standalone emulators and tool them exactly how I want per system and very easily with my mouse instead of struggling through the dogshit xmb UI.

RA's ethics aren't exactly the greatest, either. A lot of emulator devs don't like them and want nothing to do with them.
