0# Rollback for LO using RetroArch

:construction_site: SETUP

  1. Install RetroArch from Steam
  2. Go on this page, click on the checkmark (βœ“) in the first row of the backup column to get the BIOS.
  3. In Steam, Right click on RetroArch: Properties > Installed Files > Browse, unzip & put all the Saturn BIOS files in the system folder (if it doesn't exist, create it).
  4. Start RetroArch
  5. In the sidebar, select Import Content > Scan Directory, go to your ROM folder & click <Scan This Directory>.
  6. Settings > Latency:
    • Run-Ahead to Reduce Latency: OFF
  7. Settings > Input > RetroPad Binds > Port 1 Controls
    • Map your input as your default xbox/PS controls, NOT the game input (btw Retroarch notation uses Nintendo's layout).
  8. Netplay > Network
    • Use Relay Server: ON
    • Relay Server Location: Custom
    • Custom Relay Server Address: retro.supercombo.gg for US (East) / seed.pipe-strip.com for EU
      • If you don't see this, go to Settings > User Interface > Show Advanced Settings, toggle it ON.
    • Netplay Check Frames: 0
    • Input Latency Frames: 2
    • Frames Range: 3
  9. Netplay > Lobby Filters set everything to ON.
  10. In the sidebar, click on Saturn, find & launch LimitOver. Select SEGA Saturn (Beetle Saturn) for the core.

I don't find LimitOver in the list!

Your rom might be shown as "Asuka 120% Limited", click on Limited & go to Information at the bottom to see which one is the correct file then rename it.

  1. Press F1, Control > Port 1 Controls
    • Assign the previously set RetroPad buttons (shown on the left) to the current console controller (on the right).
    • Here the recommended button layout:Recommended button layout

This part is NOT intuitive!

Don't worry, it's not you, it's the emulator's fault πŸ’€.
Press F1, to go back in game & test your buttons. Good luck.

  1. Once done, go to Control > Manage Remap Files > Save Remap File As so you never have to do this again.
  2. Now just set up your name in Settings > Users > Username and you're finally ready to play!

:globe_with_meridians: HOST

  1. Netplay > Host > Start Netplay Host
  2. Start the game you want to host. Wait for your opponent :sparkles:

:globe_with_meridians: JOIN

  1. In Netplay > Refresh Netplay Host List
  2. Find your opponent in the list, click on them. Fight :sparkles:.
    • If your game doesn't start: boot up the game and retry.
    • If you don't see a list: try to click Refresh LAN list then Resfresh host list again. If that doesn't do it restart RetroArch (sometimes restarting twice works too :V).

πŸ‘€ SPECTATE

  1. In Netplay > Network, toggle Netplay Spectator Mode ON
  2. Once done, go back to Netplay, click on Refresh Netplay Host List: find the match you want to spectate & click on them. Enjoy✨.

Swap players, kinda.

Alternatively, if you're already in a match & want to leave your place to someone while spectating, you can also press the "I" key.
