How to disable configuration override?

meleu

@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 of nes/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.

RedBatman

@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

meleu

@RedBatman reinstall retroarch from binary and you'll get that file back.

RedBatman

@meleu okay so uninstall then reinstall retroarch then first.

meleu

@RedBatman just an update should be enough, but you can do as you wish.

RedBatman

@meleu Well i did all of this and still get a configuration override on my bottom left. Anyway I can delete old configurations?

@RedBatman

Anyway I can delete old configurations?

Perform a fresh install.

RedBatman

@meleu Does this mean I have to reinstall all of retropie?

RedBatman

I think I have figured something out. I had once used a save core override on nestopia and thats giving me the message, since when I use the other emulators they don't have the configuration override message on them.

I do not know why but suddenly I remembered a memorable sentence from Bruce Wayne [Batman Begins (2005)]:

Hey just quick question but could I use default cores or cfg by altering the files in Raspian Desktop?
