    Go to the online updater, hit the “Update Core Info Files”, let it finish and try again.
    It’s worth noting that the Play Store version of RetroArch is a bit kneecapped by some Google restrictions, I don’t know if that’s the root of your issue but can try grabbing the apk from their website or from F-Droid.

    If that doesn’t work, try Lemuroid. It’s an easier to use interface on top of a couple RetroArch cores

      Update Core Info Files did it for me. Thanks!

      Lemuroid has it’s issues. You cannot use external save-files, and there’s no way to access them from the system, other than through Lemuroid itself (maybe ADB would work). I still built a specific version of Lemuroid, from a PR from someone enabling external storage (this PR still remain unmerged after about a year). But even with this PR it’s still kind of buggy. It doesn’t properly detect external changes to my sav-files, and I have to reinstall the app for it to see any changes. Gaahh. Annoying.

      Oh darn I forgot about this, yeah google screwed things up so now it’s better to download from their homepage. Though I wish they’d keep their Itch or F-droid repositories up to date, most people don’t use rss or even bookmarks these days so if anything’s updated nobody knows.
