Is possible save selected driver video for an playlist core?

General
#1

Hello. Ubuntu 20.04 IGP Radeon HD 3000. I have selected driver video gl. “Allow Cores to Switch the video driver” is disabled. Somes cores not start because need change the video driver. Enabling “Allow Cores to Switch the video driver” fix it. However having enabled “Allow Cores to Switch the video driver” some cores change the video driver to Vulkan. The IGP not have Vulkan acceleration. Thus Vulkan acceleration is done using software with slow performance.

The solution is select an correct driver video for an core. Is possible configure an core to use an selected video driver ?

Thanks for reading.

Yes, it’s possible with a core override file. Load the core first. Then change video driver while the core is running, and then in the quick menu select “Overrides” and do “Save Core Overrides”.

The next time the core starts, it will use the video driver you selected. You can also edit the core override file by hand after you initially created it. It’s the config/core_name/core_name.cfg file. If you want the glcore driver (it’s better than the simple gl driver, if your GPU supports it), then the override file should simply look like this:

video_driver = "glcore"
