Probably need to do it outside of retroarch. Use clrmamepro https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/. It is a bit cryptic but does the job. There is a guide on the retroarch site about how to use it. Source: 11 months ago

Here is where I come in and recommend everyone check out Playnite: https://playnite.link/ When I care about supporting a developer or publisher and they offer their product on their own storefront DRM-free, I will often go there to buy. Or I buy from GoG which takes a smaller cut. Playnite lets me launch my Steam and non-Steam games in a seamless fashion. Steam still does a great job as a game installer/patch... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
