Overlays per Core?

I used to be able to set overlays per core, but some recent changes it no longer works…how do you do this now?

I loaded an SNES title, set the overlay. Exited out and did the same to a Nintendo…but it just stays with the last one I set.

You have to use config overrides. Open a game, set the overlay, save core/game override.

In my experience, sometimes Core Overrides do not work from RGUI. If you are fine with the command line, just head for the configuration directory of your system, i.e. where your retroarch.cfg is located. Example Linux: ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg -> there should be the further subdirectories of your installed cores.

Go into that subdirectory, e.g. FBA Alpha and edit fb Alpha.cfg with something like this: input overlay = “path to your overlay” From now on the Core will use this overlay by default.
