I would suggest letting Ice run once as it will create folders in the Emulation/ROMS/ folder for each console you have listed, using the nickname listed for the folder name. Now just to select some ROMS and copy them into the correct folders.

zip for example, Ice won’t find the game.

iso game file and you have forgotten to change it from. zip, sfc'Įnsure you have the correct extension listed here, as it is easy to forget to change it. Nickname=SNES # Folder name in ROM's folder to scan for this consoles ROM'sĮmulator=retroarch_snes # emulator to link to in emulators.txt thatĮxtensions=zip # file extensions to consider a game, separated by a comma 'i.e. Ensure you get the spelling right and ensure the entry for the emulator is a match for the heading for the emulator you setup in emulators.txt This might feel like doubling up as you might think that we could just do it all in one file, but separating the consoles and emulators allows you to link one emulator setup to multiple consoles if the emulator supported it.Īdd a block as below for each console you want to setup. It will also use the names here to link each game to a category in Steam to allow for easy sorting by the console of the game. Ice will use the details here to create folders within the ROM folder setup in config.txt. In this file, we need to list the consoles we want to setup. Each emulator will have a different command line set.
Note the Ice site does have some command lines listed for some emulators to help get started. Repeat the process for all the emulators you’ve installed. Location=D:\Emulation\RetroArch\retroarch.exe # Emulator executable locationĬommand=%l -f -L d:\Emulation\RetroArch\cores\bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll %r # Command line to build for steam shortcutįor example, the above setup would instruct Ice to build the following command if it was parsing for a game ROM located in D:\Emulation\Roms\SNES\SNES_game.zipĭ:\Emulation\RetroArch\retroarch.exe -f -L d:\Emulation\RetroArch\cores\bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll D:\Emulation\Roms\SNES\SNES_game.zip
The command will take the following variables: For this example, let’s add in the bsnes emulator.Įnsure you change the folder paths to match your Retroarch location. RetroArch is happy to run with ROM’s that are in zip files.Įnter a list of your emulators as you set them up.

Which would load RetroArch instantly in full screen, load the bsnes emulator for Super Nintendo, and then load the ROM ‘rom.zip’. \cores\bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll c:\roms\SNES\rom.zip The best way to start a game neatly is by command line, most emulators will take command line arguments to pick the core, ROM, set fullscreen, etc.įor example, to run a RetroArch game now we could use the command line (Win+R, enter ‘cmd’) to run a snes rom by entering: The only thing that really requires editing here is the ROMs Directory to match the location of your ROM folder.
It will then create, edit or delete ‘Non-steam shortcuts’ in steam for each game, and also attempt to download cover art. Note the general way Ice works is to browse your ROM directory, match each game to a console entry, link the required emulator for the console, and build a shortcut into steam based on the parameters for the emulator selected. There are 3 files to modify in RetroArch. We will come back shortly to configure Ice, it will not do anything yet. As of writing the app hadn’t been updated in a number of years, unfortunately, however the old app did fine for the below job. I started an ‘Emulation’ folder to store this set up neatly.ĭownload the zip from the Ice Site, or perhaps check out the Ice Github site for an update.

To install Ice, we need to download it and extract it into a folder.
