Why does Retroarch feel so shitty to use compared to standalone emulators?

>browse to directory
>scan it
>exit out
>find completely unrelated menu item
>search for game

vs
>navigate to directory
>select game
Wow I wonder which is easier.

Are you using bsnes?

Nope, it's pretty fucking irritating.

>game options
>core options
>retroarch options
too convulted

it's the opposite really. Once you tweak everything to how you like it it btfo most standalone emulators

>set full screen
>play game
>exit game
>no longer full screen
>retroarch wanted me to navigate to a special location to save my settings
literally why

mednafen standalone is the absolute best way to emulate PSX

The latency settings and video and audio management are amazing despite the shitty UI.

After fiddling wit the settings a bunch I finally got PS1 games to look real good(3D parts at least). Replaying RE3 now.
