  • Fix: Netplay for OpenBOR is experimental. You and your friend must have identical .pak files and identical RetroArch versions. Disable "Save State" netplay mode and use "Run content specifically."
  • Experiment with different controllers: The OpenBOR core supports a wide range of controllers. Experiment with different configurations to find the one that works best for you.
  • Try different shaders: RetroArch's shader system can greatly enhance the visual experience of OpenBOR games. Try out different shaders to find the one that suits your taste.
  • Join online multiplayer sessions: Use RetroArch's netplay feature to join online multiplayer sessions with friends, or join public games with other players.
  • Explore the OpenBOR community: The OpenBOR community is active and vibrant, with many developers creating new games, mods, and content. Explore the community to discover new games and mods.
  • Some very new paks built with OpenBOR build 7182+ may have glitches or fail to load.
  • The core currently lacks network play (no RetroArch netplay for OpenBOR).
  • Not all paks support save states properly (depends on their scripting).
