My stuff:

  • ArchLinux KDE, amdgpu, vulkan, wayland
  • RetroArch installed from official repos
  • cores installed via RetroArch utility

I’m using this command but it results in a graphical glitch when launched from steam:

retroarch -L "path/to/core" "path/to/game"

Possible causes I found:

  • the command may not work if the game is a .cue file
  • loading a game from Steam via RetroArch 64bit can be a problem(?)
  • cores installed with the utility are in “.info” and not in the “.so” extension
spoiler

I haven’t tried Steam Rom Manager as it doesn’t solve my doubt and in any case I’m not sure it can solve the problem even if set correctly.

    Its unusual to install retroarch via pacman and launch it with steam. Usually its either:

    • install via pacman dont use steam at all.
    • install via steam and launch via steam.

    I suspect steam is running the retroarch with different environment variables (ie LD_PRELOAD) than your system. I dont know what those would be or what to set them to if I did.

    You can try experimenting with using steam-native and steam-runtime to check if there is a difference. You can also try to install retroarch via steam, find its executable in ~/.local/share and adjust your script accordingly.
