I’m running RetroArch 1.3.0 on an Amazon Fire Stick which runs really well, but I’m wondering if there is a way for me to pass different configs depending on which core I am running? For example, I’d like to load a different overlay depending on the system/core running.
I’m using Gamesome as a frontend, but can run from RA directly if that would help anything.
Hi!
Instead of full copies of your config file that might become inconsistent try to use override files containing only the core specific differences you would like to apply. On Android your main config file is
/sdcard/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/retroarch.cfg
which contains all your settings and is valid for all cores. Now create files like
/sdcard/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/Mupen64Plus/Mupen64Plus.cfg /sdcard/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/PCSX-ReARMed/PCSX-ReARMed.cfg /sdcard/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/Snes9x/Snes9x.cfg
containing the settings you want to override like
input_overlay = “/data/data/com.retroarch/overlays/gamepads/snes/snes.cfg”
Thanks very much. I’ll give that a go.
