Overriding video driver for a game or a core

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

All of my games except one works great with gl video driver.

But for PPSSPP FFIV: Complete Collection, I need to run it with d3d11 and would like to automatically override the video driver.

I would prefer if this could be done on a per game basic but if it’s only possible on per core basis, I would be ok with that.

RetroArch-1.7.3\retroarch.cfg is the global config in which video_driver is set to gl

So far I’ve tried with with both of these files RetroArch-1.7.3\config\PPSSPP\b-ff4u.cfg RetroArch-1.7.3\config\PPSSPP\PPSSPP.cfg

only containing the following line: video_driver = “d3d11”

the game still starts with gl video driver

any idea?

Overriding the video driver doesn’t work, unfortunately, because RetroArch can’t change video drivers on the fly. If you use an external launcher, e.g. launchbox or rocketlauncher, you can point to a different config that uses another video driver.

On-the fly driver switching: Is it bounty time? I’d put in the first $5.

I use steam as my launch. How can I point to a different config?

found it, -c customconfig.cfg
