Great questions, HexagonSun.

Arcade

There are a few things to check here.

1. Your ROMs should be in the Roms\ARCADE folder on the SD card
2. the ROMs should be in the .zip file format
3. the file Emu\ARCADE\config.json should look like the following:

{
	"label":	"Arcade",
	"icon":	"/mnt/SDCARD/Icons/Default/arcade.png",
	"launch":	"launch.sh",
	"rompath":	"../../Roms/ARCADE",
	"imgpath":	"../../Roms/ARCADE/Imgs",
	"gamelist":	"../../Roms/ARCADE/miyoogamelist.xml",
	"useswap":	1,
	"shortname":	1,
	"hidebios":	1,
	"extlist":	"zip"
}

1. there should be a file in the ARCADE folder called miyoogamelist.xml; this should contain XML entries for every ROM in the folder; the file names in this file should match the ROM files in the ARCADE folder (such as outrun.zip).

Cores

Most of the time, it's better to stick with the default core, but there are a couple of options for choosing a different one.

1. Enable the Expert tab (Apps -> Tweaks -> User Interface -> Show expert mode): with Genesis Plus installed, Mega Drive/Genesis games will show up in the Expert section as playable with that core
2. use Game List Options (GLO): in the standard game list, bring up GLO by pressing Y, and choose a different core; this will only affect the highlighted game and is useful when there are a few games that don't perform as well with the default core.

Did you buy the BetterButtons or 3D print them?

I've been playing PICO-8 games just recently. Mostly for the purposes of testing compatibility.

Compatibility and performance are good but not perfect. Many of the games are so much fun.

Pictured is Bap the Ball Dragon. Real Mario Bros. vibes.

Do you know what caused the corruption to your retroarch.cfg? It may be useful information for people who experience the same behaviour and stumble on your post.

Glad to hear you got it sorted and that it was just software.

Now would be a good opportunity to make a backup of the GarlicOS card you just made. See our guide if you need some tips.

The RG351M really does feel like a premium version of the RG351P. Very robust and great for GBA games.

Do you have custom firmware installed?

That's a great tip. Thank you for sharing!

I haven't used wefwef myself but, hopefully, someone will stumble upon this thread who can advise.

That's not one I predicted. If we find consensus around this pronunciation, I'll eat my........ lunch.

I was thinking just the other day that the RG35XX would be the ideal device to play AM2R.

This runs on the Anbernic RG35XX. If and when you have one, you will need to have the Koriki custom firmware running on the device - https://github.com/rg35xx-cfw/Koriki/releases

You can find a download, and instructions, for the AM2R port package at this link: https://github.com/JohnnyonFlame/droidports/releases/tag/am2r_rg35xx_v0.2

You'll have to find your own copy of AM2R_11.zip.

Also note that the download instructions say you need Batocera. You don't. Instead, install Koriki as linked above.

I definitely think OOT is worth playing through. I suspect the 3DS is going to be my preferred version.

I have the 3DS OOT on my to-play list for the next year. I'll be my first time playing the 3DS version.

I played ZombiU on the Wii U and it made great use of the second screen. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very atmospheric. You really feel as if you're in a zombie-infested London. Good story and a constant feeling of threat. If you do decide to play it, you should know that you'll die a lot. It's part of the game. I also played Resident Evil: Revelations on the Wii U. ZombiU is definitely the more Survival Horror of the two. If only it had a Rob Zombie soundtrack...
