Hello everyone,
I have a few questions about RetroArch and the way it work. Some og my questions are probably stupid, but, hey, I’m not fluent in english and perhaps I misunderstood some stuff in the various tutorial or video I’ve seen.
1.How to “'call” (or pop-up) the menu once a game is launch? I found “F1” seems to be the hotkey to use, but, in previous versions of RetroArch, I had to simply press the Xbox Button on my xbox 360 Controller. Is it normal that this functionnality is not working anymore? If I press the Xbox button, the screen is “blinking lighty”, nut nothing more.
- I would like to configurate each emulator separately. For exemple, I would like to set up a Game Boy emulator (Gambatte) with the “dot matrix yellow color” (found in the shaders folder). I would like to have this shader launched everytime I launch a Game Boy game. Then, I would like to do the same thing but without the dot matrix yellow color shader, but with a shader specific to the Game Boy Color.
On a fresh Retroarch install, I’ve turn the “Configuration per core” ON. If I exit RetroArch, the setting is not save. So, I select “Save new config”, then rename it to the name I want: “GameBoyColor.cfg” instead of “gambatte_libretro.cfg” I’m doing this for all the emulator I want. But the emulator will understand which core to launch with the right setting? I don’t want a Gameboy color game to be lauched with a GameBoy Yellow dot matrix shader, for example… I’m a bit lost to be honest. My goal is to integrate retroArch as my default emulator in order to run hyperSpin smoothly.

Is the “File Browser” directories = Roms directory? I’m a bit lost with this one…
-
Any visual gallery of the famous shader folder to pick up the right one? I’m still looking for a Game Boy Color shader… and don’t know where to find the right one.
5.What’s the difference between retroarch-core-options.cfg (in the config folder) and the retroarch.default.cfg and retroarch.cfg file? Which one will be launched when I start RetroArch?
Thanks for your help. I hope I will not bother you with this silly question, but I’m really struggling and need some help, especially for the n°2.
Have nice day.
