RPi4 - How to run emulators?

    I installed the PS1 emulator (PCSX ReARMed 24.0.0.62.3), but I don't have the option to run it.

    Why?

    LibreELEC 12.2.0, RPi4

    Some platforms, e.g. SNES, have about 10x possible emulators so the workflow is oriented towards opening the game ROM/file and then selecting the emulator you want to run it with, not running an emulator and then selecting a game.

    It's possible, but the ones I want to test don't have an "Open" option. I've only tested PS1 and MAME emulators. Are these add-ons for some main plugin?

    By the way, I don't know why LibreELEC can't add RetroArch to its official plugins. Retro gaming systems have Kodi built in, but playing through Kodi isn't possible. At least not in a straightforward way.

    Okay, I read it again and understood. I'm using Google Translate. However, launching games like this is unintuitive, and you have to manually select RetroPlayer to run the ROM file. Of course, the savegames must be in a different format than RetroArch. I'd have to learn it all over again, because why add the excellent RetroArch emulator when you can complicate everything and cut it into a million pieces... X/

    I have two more questions:

    1. How do I increase the volume? I have it maxed out, but it's terribly quiet.

    2. How do I disable automatic savestate?

    Okay, I found the option to disable automatic savestate. It's in Kodi's settings, not the emulator's.
    I don't know what happened to the sound, but it's fine now.

    But.

    Enabling analog stick controls (L1+R1+Select) in Ace Combat 2 doesn't work.
    And god forbid, don't enable the original resolution in the PS1 emulator if you're playing on a modern TV. I don't even know why there's such an option.

    And MAME can't read games packed into zip files.
