    Just a bit of caution, make sure the ROM you want to play is executed by the proper module within Retro Arch. I was feeling experimental one day and tried to run an NES rom through the Sega module and Retro Arch could not get around that set of instructions and stopped working. I'm not even sure how I fixed the problem but I will never drop a ROM into a module that isn't coded to execute that file.

It's been about 30 minutes. everything is still functional, don't know why this won't go away though. Kinda scared to exit to home, due to it seemingly still extracting. *edit* Just in case anyone else is wondering, it is fine to exit, in fact I suggest it, and just manually extract each of the the folders on the computer instead.

    @@designerebethe1 Well, what I did created two folders, one with the name SYSTEM and the other GAMES on my computer, then I downloaded the games and put them in the GAMES folder. Then I copied those two folders to the memory card, then I disconnected the PS Vita from the computer. and I did what the video says and it worked even though the SYSTEM folder is empty, but what happens to me it does not show all the games that I copied, I copied 64 SNES but it only shows 44 games 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Hi I followed this step by step and after id pasted my ROM games to the PS vita shell root folder, pressed circle to disconnect the vita from the PC, the uXO folder just completely vanished then all of the homerew apps said they were corrupt. I rebooted the device and all the homebrew apps are gone! and its asking me to format the PS vita memory card! What happened?

    If the downloading the thumbnails for each game "severely impacts the performance" like it warns, why would anyone enable that? Does this mean that it impacts the emulation performance, or the menu while browsing the roms performance?

    does n64 run well through retroarch, or is it better to get a stand alone emulator?
