      Hello,

      I just updated my Retropie from about ~3 months ago updates and I noticed all my cores have "DAR" as the aspect ratio when it used to be "core." Not really a game breaker but why did this happen? Are there any other universal settings to worry about?

      To correct this, I should go into "all" retroarch.cfg and revert back right?

        @GreenHawk84 yeah, retroarch change as the aspect_ratio_index so all old configs and overrides that contained aspect_ratio_index are now wrong and need to be manually corrected: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/7536

          @dankcushions where is the file and line for setting and saving FBAlpha to use "core provided" aspect ratio?

          For instance, I went to the file editor and saved "Arcade" and "FBA" to "Core" aspect. But Cadillacs and Dinosaurs still loads 1:1, even if I save "Core provided" as a game override.

            Nevermind, I think I got it. All my categories appear to be set to and working with Core provided aspect ratio. Is the 1:1 DAR(or PAR?) the "true" resolution as close to the original image of the game?
