If you’re using an Xbox controller (highly recommended for RetroArch), the big Xbox button can trigger this GUI in Windows 10–as long as you disable the Windows 10 Game Bar from monopolizing things. This brings up the RetroArch interface during gameplay, allowing you to use features like save state and shaders (which aren’t available in any other settings menu). To get to it, you need to configure an “RGUI button”. Map the RGUI Button to Access More FeaturesĪ lot of the best RetroArch features are hidden in a menu that’s kind of hard to access. Now fire up a game and start rewinding the action! We found this worked with some cores (like SNES), but didn’t work with others (like the indie game Cave Story).
Here you will see the keyboard shortcut for rewinding is “r”, but you can also set a joystick button for rewinding. Then head to “Input”, followed by “Input Hotkey Binds”.
From here you can toggle the “Rewind” option: To try this out for yourself, head to the Settings panel in Retroarch, then to “Rewind”.
