Hi, I've had my Deck since September 2022 and a problem I can't seem to be able to solve is that I can't use fast forward on any core, neither toggling nor holding a button.

I don't remember what, but I know I've tried a few things I found looking for a solution, but nothing worked. Maybe someone here has a trick I haven't sen yet? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Forgot to specify: It's the Steam version. I use its cloud saves often.

From my personal experience:

The steam variant of Retroarch is nerfed to hell and back, make your life easier and use the flatpak version and add it as a nonsteam game.

I'll have to end up using the flatpak, yes, but I wanted to keep using the Steam version because of the cloud saves. There's probably a convoluted way of using something like syncthing with it, but I'm not too keen on it. Thanks you!
