These files are the files that are first loaded when you are launching a game: All the configuration files that can be overrided are keys / values type files. Configuration overrides are a feature of RetroArch, similar to overrides, but retain a lot of information, in the context of Recalbox, better to prefer overrides if possible.

Load the same game with the same core. yeah its still not loading the cfgs , for example my cfgs are in RetroArch\config\gameboy color.cfg , pretty sure i have that RA setting enabled as my working systems wouldn't be working otherwise? media Just delete the cfg (or the whole core-named directory, if you like) Redbatman 13 June 2017 11:07 #3 Sorry but where is that located on the retropie? RetroArch applies config settings with the logic as explained above. I found the retroarch-core-options.cfg file (system->configs->retroarch->cores). Override will be loaded whenever content is loaded from the dir with the core that was used before), Mapping keyboard keys from more than one gamepad (works with dosbox), Mapping more than one button to the same action, Mapping a button to trigger an analog response (tested with mupen, can run on SM64 with the d-pad now, triggers a full analog tilt), Mapping an analog to another analog (having more than one analog mapped to the same output causes issues), Mapping an analog to produce a button response. For example, you want to enable or disable Threaded Video as a default for all cores. Sign in Ill give you a example when I get home. Advanced users can also tweak the vertical synchronization and the buffering mode. If your controller does not have a home button, and the hotkey is on Select, natural game saving will be impossible. Clean slate. If RetroArch creates a default config file, it will have config_save_on_exit set Windows will look in retroarch.cfg in same folder where retroarch.exe resides. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, we recommend overriding the keys in the directory with default values (for example fbneo-frameskip =" 0 ") if you want to override a particular game with specific values (for example fbneo-frameskip = "2"), so you'll keep your" base "values for files that don't have custom overrides. But need help on finding where exactly I go to find the .dist for retroarch cfg. How do I set and save a custom resolution for each individual core? Step 1. Step 3: Optional: Repeat set 2 but instead of saving per core, save as a Per Game Override, and those settings will only apply to the game. The file should be a simple text file, named .folder.description.txt. If you have multiple RA installs, make sure they are in the "cores" folder of the Retroarch install that is designed as the exe in the screen previous to Associated Platforms. Looks like your connection to RetroPie Forum was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect. You can also append (although the proper term would be stack) config files via the --append command line parameter. Same with Shaders except you can set a little bit like enabling or disabling if a core uses any Shaders or not but the individual Shaders are saved with their own Overrides in the Shaders menu. Even though those cant be saved from the GUI they may still load fine if added directly via a text editor. Video configuration: Ratio, Scale, Anti-alias, screen rotation, or even shader selections, etc. Audio sync is very important in RetroArch because the games speed is computed based on the audio code. Overrides are loaded in that order, core, dir, content. I'll take iBuffalo as an example. When overrides are enabled nothing from settings is saved in the main config, that's the main nature of the feature. Some options concerning the inputs: mouse selection, sensitivity, etc. Remaps are configuration files that store the parameters from the controls menu under Quick Menu. There are 4 different menu drivers for RetroArch to choose from, RGUI, GLUI, Ozone and the default XMB. Of course, the Theodore core can sometimes "auto-detect" the machine, but this is not the case with other cores which need to have the correct subsystem at launch.

All RetroArch based emulators can be configured in the following way: Global settings - that are settings which should apply to all systems - are done in the file: /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg ( example) System-specific settings are done in the files: /opt/retropie/configs/SYSTEMNAME/retroarch.cfg ( example) The menu didn't change, the input setting didn't change, and the core override setting didn't change. RetroArch applies config settings with the logic as explained above.

Retroarch main cfg, usually retroarch.cfg, you can load different config files via the --config (-c) command line parameter or via GUI. launchbox still doesn't want to load my custom cfgs though , really wish retroarch was more straight forward like a regular emulator, when retro arch is open and i try and save a new cfg it doesn't save to the CFG folder any ideas what could be causing that? You cannot paste images directly. Now I am trying to remove the overrides from a few systems that I edited but I cant figure out how to clear them. Conversely, the override of a game, must be named exactly like the game, including the file extension, followed by the override suffix, .retroarch.cfg in the example above.

You just need to add the file /recalbox/share/roms/n64/.retroarch.cfg : For a game, name the file like this: .gamename.ext.retroarch.cfg. When fastforward_ratio is non-0 in the base config, the override value is ignored. I googled for an hour and couldn't find anything. Step 2: launch a game for the system through launchbox. Overrides cant save parameters that arent part of the settings struct, like soft filters, input_dpad_analog settings, input_libretro_device. This is particularly interesting for multi-machine cores, like: You can find a list of available options for each core in the core page in the Emulators section of this wiki. Thankfully downloading and reinstalling it fixed that. Weve been working hard to make this menu support all input remapping usecases and as of now it can do: Remaps can be saved in the same exact levels as overrides, core, content, dir. What if the problem with loading core is OUT OF SYNC on CRT screen and it is not possible to get into menu for core override? have been trying to add more and they do not boot from launchbox , if i boot retroarch load the config/core then the game itself it works fine , so im thinking theres an issue with launchbox or maybe launchbox has changed the way it operates with custom configs? Changes are gone. Also they cant store input bidings as of now. I wish retroarch had a better UI. When I use the fightstick (XInput index 0), the buttons don't work on RetroArch as it should be. #1 Sishiya Sep 22, 2021 @ 4:49pm It might also be useful to disable the Steam Overlay as well.
