Analog-to-digital per-core?

Am I right in thinking that the analog-to-digital setting is a global Retroarch setting?

It should be per-core - you probably wouldn’t want to have it enabled for N64 games, for example, as most will have actual functions on both the analog stick and the D-pad.

However it’s nice to have it enabled on SNES / Genesis cores.

all settings can be either global or per core (or per game). it’s up to you. check out the ‘save core overrides’ option.

Not this setting, apparently. It goes in retroarch.cfg, not config/remaps/(core). It doesn’t appear in the remap override files.
