I would love the ability to allow comments within the RetroArch and RetroArch-Phoenix configuration files. This way I wouldn’t have to maintain so many separate files and allow for more portability.
Thanks!
comments? That’s been there since the beginning.
# Comment goes here ...
Two things I noticed:
When you open a cfg file with RetroArch-Phoenix, it immediately kills any of the commented lines (deletes them).
When starting retroarch from the command line with a config file argument (“retroarch -c config.cfg”) it will not use the “libretro_path” or “phoenix_last_rom” settings, and probably more than that since it chokes before getting any further. Is this expected? If so, it is possible for the retroarch binary to parse and use those settings?
You’re not passing any ROM path arguments. If you want RGUI, you have to add --menu (no args at all equals retroarch --menu for simplicity). RetroArch will use libretro_path. phoenix_last_rom is purely a Phoenix thing. You want rgui_browser_directory in that case.
Noted. Is it possible to change the behavior of RetroArch-Phoenix not to delete comments when it loads the config files?
No. Comments are not preserved. As in, they are not parsed, and hence not saved later when config is flushed to disk.
