how to get the latest EMU core of Retroarch working for Blackberry
As I mentioned above, the official Retroarch.com lost all data of Blackberry release, what’s even worse is all compatible core files also disappear. so after install the unofficial RA you have only some old core(ShiftyAxel provided in 2017……) available, and these old cores were bad at game emu efficiency/compatibility/FPS quality. I have spend a lot of time for the latest core for BB version Retroarch, it’s so lucky there are still other guys have same expectation & better skill:
thanks to Junnun Karim who is sharing some latest new CORE files, like mgba, vbam and gpsp.
To run these cores just put them to your retroarch cores folder and change the core directory in retroarch settings to “/accounts/1000/shared/misc/retroarch”.
