Reicast emu.cfg

[nobrain2k]

Hi all,

I have lots of success with RetroPie in general, but there is one thing that I'm struggling with at the moment.

When playing Soul Caliber in Reicast, although the performance is generally excellent, I'm seeing some corruption of menu item text. A bit of googling revealed this https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/issues/759 where one person suggested changing the 'TV Type'.

As far as I can tell (although it's hard to be certain) this is the 'Cable Type' setting in emu.cfg (/home/pi/.reicast) but every time I run Reicast, the changes I have made to that config get overwritten and lost.

Does anybody any ideas on how I can change this without it being overwritten? Is there another config file somewhere?

I believe this is caused by the fact that emu.cfg isn't read in at all. I think the following change would fix this: https://github.com/7oxicshadow/reicast-emulator/commit/2d27c22c167d527e8fecc3ba34007ee7194ff5ee

And this should go along with it as well:

@gizmo98 Maybe you might be interested in looking at this?

Thanks for this thread, it certainly cleans up why any adjustments to emu.cfg do absolutely nothing! It would be good if this can be fixed as well as the date/time thing.

There's another thread with a precompiled binary you can try to see if it works for you, I don't have it on me right now. We have a pull request for it here: https://github.com/RetroPie/reicast-emulator/pulls

Perfect, if there is a pull request for it I can wait for it to be incorporated into a future update and I can update. For now, lr-reicast seems to actually be working pretty well for the couple of games i've tested.

I will have a look for the pre-compiled binary though and perhaps give it a try.

Cheers
