Questions about saving contents of "Quick Menu>Options"

RetroArch General
#1

So, I’ve transitioned from the old “per core config” to the “overrides” way of doing things.

90% of which, I actually think this works much better than the old way. I’m having 2 problems though I’m hoping someone can tell me how to fix.

1.) I can’t seem to properly save the “Options” in Quick Menu anymore. For example, no matter what I do I can’t get N64 to load up with the N64 3-point texture filter as the default, it always goes to ‘nearest’. Another example is NES won’t load the default palette as ‘consumer’ and always switches to ‘canonical’.

I tried setting these manually via the retroarch-core-options.cfg file, but no go. It won’t take. So where/how do I get these options to load? I don’t mind doing it via .cfg files if someone can point me to them.

#2

RetroArch loads and saves core options from and to retroarch-core-options.cfg by default. Make sure it’s not read-only and check your configs for "core_options_path = " to see if any of them point to a different core options file.

#3

When you say “check your configS” what are you referring to? Obviously the retroarch.cfg file in the main directory, but the only other configs I am familiar with were the ‘per-core’ ones in the older versions.

#4

Any override configs if you have them.

Also, wouldn’t be surprised if RocketLauncher is messing with your core options somehow. Try loading games from RetroArch itself and see if core option changes save to retroarch-core-options.cfg.

GOT IT!

I checked it using RA on it’s own and it saved the options to the core options cfg. Then booting it with HS/RL would revert the change.

I checked just about everything I could until I stumbled on “System Specific Module Settings” in RL. I’d never seen this one before.

While the options that were giving me trouble were simply set to <Default>, setting them to what I want solved the issue.

Woot! Another checkbox ticked, and onto the next item! Thanks for your help.
