Hey, all I heard the Dolphin core was out for RetroArch so I wanted to try and do some testing. That being said I accidentally deleted the RetroArch .NRO from my home menu. I grabbed to latest RetroArch from the HBStore and when I launch it from the homebrew menu (Via Applet mode I believe) Atmosphere crashes and throws an error (Pictured Below) I also tried downloading directly from Retroarches website and launching the same way to no avail. What are some troubleshooting tips I could try to get this working?

Retroarch requires full ram, applet mode limits the ram (applet mode is opening album). To access full ram, hold R while launching a game. It boot up hbmenu like when you use applet mode, except in applet mode itll tell you in the top right corner

RetroArch doesn't even work on applet. It's full ram or nothing.

If you are trying to boot Dolphin, be ready to the worse performance you've ever seen on an emulator. It's not even worth on trying it, it just won't work.
On Lakka, now that's a different topic. And yet, the performance is awful.

You can use the retroarch forwarder.nsp for full ram access too.
