How to disable configuration override?
-
@RedBatman Save using the Quick menu using save game overide or aave core override.
-
@AlexMurphy Could just reinstall Retroarch to fix permanently, would that be safe?
-
@RedBatman Shouldn't do any harm. The whole RetroPie setup is pretty modular with separate elements. I would just try reinstalling that specific emulator first though.
-
EDIT: I think I misread your issue, sorry. Keeping my answer, anyway... :-)
If you want to disable any On Screen Display message:
- Open
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
. - Search the line with
video_font_enable
. - Set it to false.
But keep in mind that it disables every OSD message.
- Open

Is there a way I can just reset my retroarch configurations back to default since after uninstalling and reinstalling it seems to have kept my configs.
-
@RedBatman There are many ways to achieve what you want. Here is my method:
Look if you have
retroarch.cfg.rp-dist
files in your/opt/retropie/configs/SYSTEM_NAME/
directories. They are the default config file for each individual system, you just need to replace eachretroarch.cfg
file with the*.rp-dist
content.This topic here can be enlightening: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2251/feature-request-restore-factory-settings-option

@meleu Well i took a look at your blog and it is very informative, my only concern is like it said in the blog potentially breaking something. I may need some hand holding but how can i check these files within command line and what are the proper procedures to do this safe?
-
@RedBatman blog?
-
@meleu The topic you gave me the link to.
-
But yes how to I access the .dist files and if I don't have them how can I recreate them?
-
I tried looking in files manager but can't seem to find the folder.
-
I actually had to delete my Batman rom for the NES, since when I tried to enable fps view again it would cause the Pi to restart. Thankfully downloading and reinstalling it fixed that. But need help on finding where exactly I go to find the .dist for retroarch cfg.

@meleu Like I said do I type that in on command line? Cause I can't seem to find it. A visual aid would be nice to see.

@RedBatman I've re-read your OP. Looks like you have an issue with your NES configs...
My tip:
- install/update lr-nestopia from binary via retropie_setup (assuming you know how to use retropie_setup menus, go to Manage packages >> main >> lr-nestopia). After the update/installation, it will create the file
/opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist
. - In order to get the "factory settings" for NES emulators, replace the content of
nes/retroarch.cfg
with the content ofnes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist
. This command can do the job:
cp /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg
If, after what I explained above, you still need a visual aid, you can use this link.

@meleu Well I did uninstall nestopia then reinstalled it yesterday so I'll give this a go again.
-
@meleu Also i typed this in yesterday.
sudo rm /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
i saw a forum someone said this could fix it but it didn't do much
-
@RedBatman reinstall retroarch from binary and you'll get that file back.
-
@meleu okay so uninstall then reinstall retroarch then first.
-
@RedBatman just an update should be enough, but you can do as you wish.
