Is there any way to auto-load a different shader for each core?

RetroArch General
#1

Just a quick one: I want to automatically load a different shader depending on what core is in use (crt-hyllian for consoles, lcd shader for handhelds). Is there any way I can configure this? Alternatively, is there any way I can use per-core configs and auto load that when I open a core? I’d rather not do this option as I’m guessing I’d have to remap all my controls every time I made a new config. Thanks for any help!

yeah there are two alternatives, core specific configs and overrides You can read about the later in my blog http://blog.andressm.org/new-retroarch-features-2/

No, we don’t have multi input for a single player The best bet for that would be to use autoconfig profiles and just connect the pad that you want to use.

Thanks again. One more thing (and sorry for all the questions, I keep finding new things the more I use the program) is I have a dump of Radiant Historia on the DS which won’t show up with all my other DS games after scanning the folder (bad/unknown dump?), and also some ROM hacks for the NES. Is there any way I can have these on the menu with all my other scanned games? Or will I have to load them manually when I want to play?

Thanks I’ll see if I can work with that.

This is less of a question and more of a problem: my 360 controller’s left analogue stick has an inverted Y axis (up is down and vice versa). No clue what’s causing that, and sometimes it fixes itself. The A and B buttons also frequently swap functions (I think depending on which core I have open?) Anyway, I’m not sure how to fix it. It’s especially annoying in menu when I have to use the 360’s crap D-Pad.

Strange, that happened once to me because I had some old config files made by the per-core config option. See if you don’t have some left in the config folder and delete those before starting anew (if you want to use per-core).

But it should be possible to use a different pad for different cores. I think I had 2 pads connected at one point and using per-core configs, I assigned the pad 2 to player 1 (Settings->Input->User 1 device Index), then configured it manually (a snes mockup pad in direct input).

If per-core is a bit too much of a mess you can do your things, then copy the lines about your input from retroarch.cfg into a new override file, return to your original xbox auto config after that.

Need a bit of practice and testing.

I’ll try this, then I should be able to set the default to the SNES controller and have overrides for the 360 if I’m thinking correctly. Thanks again!
