How to add RetroArch games on Steam? (slrpnk.net)

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

spoilerI 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.

Hmm...looks like in my cores directory "/home/user/.config/retroarch/cores/" I only have .info files.

I'll try to learn more about SRM, EmuDeck was also recommended to me.

To be fair, I have never used RetroArch installed from the official repositories. I am used to using either the flatpak or steam version(s).
