If you need help with retroarch

First, put your rom into the files of retroarch (personally, i have my own folder dedicated to roms) then import your rom using "import content" if your rom is a rom hack, you might not be able to import it (i said might because retroarch sometimes detects very popular rom hacks) instead, choose load content and then select the rom, and it will appear in your history. if a rom crashes when loading, you probably need the bios file for it! search something along the lines of "beetle saturn retroarch core" and there should be a libretro site with the core's information, scroll down and you will see the name of the bios file for the core, (you should only need the bios files that aren't optional) then you can look up the name of the bios file and find it online. (probably on internet archive) anyways, retroarch is a great emulator and ive been using lakka on my nintendo switch too! easily a game changer and beats delta!
