How Reliable is the content or add-ons?

The add-ons installed may stop working or give you an error while trying to auto update, this is something we do not have any control over. The add-on authors only have such control. While add-ons can stop working this tends to be temporary, if an add-on update fails don’t worry it will re-attempt at a later time. There are many other add-ons you can use if one does not work. Some links to content may not work, just select another from the list of many available.

📺 Note: If you are having problems downloading the Thumbnails through the Online updater or you want to save space on your device, you may Download them onto your USB Drive instead.

1. Create a new directory on your USB Drive named “Thumbnails”.

2. Download your respective game system thumbnails to this directory by using this site on GitHub – https://goo.gl/hqWcMA

3. Unzip the zip file into same directory.

4. Rename the folder to the matching name of the Game System that you see on the GitHub page.

Example: Super Nintendo Thumbnails folder should be renamed to “Nintendo – Super Nintendo Entertainment System” because this is how the name of the file is listed on the GitHub page.

5. In RetroArch, change the directory of where Thumbnails are stored under Settings / Directory.
