Do you really have 2500 custom override configs?

Rather more than that, it turns out :D

Obviously not all of those would be potentially affected by a Retroarch change, but goodness knows how many might be, and I never want to go through AspectRatioGate again. Even now, years later, I'm still finding games with the screen all wrong.

(I have CFGs for all sorts of reasons, in many cases it's as simple as a bezel but even those often need custom tweaks.)

And yeah, I have a backup but at 256GB it takes two days just to write the memory card. (And it's not really practical for a case like this, because if a new Retroarch broke everything the only suitable backup is a complete image file. What I actually have as a day-to-day backup are copies of the ROMS and CONFIGS folders, which can be updated in seconds, but that would be no use for a Retroarch meltdown. You can't save a 256GB image file every night.)

Anyway, that's my hangup to deal with, I'd really like the new feature but since it's basically only for two SNES ports that already run fine in MAME I'll have to weigh up the risk, and the terror of possibly having to go through the infinite pain of configuring WonderSwan games again. Thanks for the help :)

@alebofsky said in How to save configuration for spinner for an individual game:

System is running Retropie Playbox on Raspberry Pi 4 (Cortex-A72)

We don't support 3rd party images - use the RetroPie image from retropie.org.uk/download and report back if you still have the issue when saving the remaps for the game.

@mitu I used the first option to add those binds to the retroarch.cfg file in the snes folder and I have all my SuperScope games working just fine now. Thank you!

Thanks again, man. It seems I've been editing a core-specific cfg file which overrided the "all" retroarch.cfg file but I couldn't edit it from retropie, had to edit it by SSL. Now all my binds are as I want 'em.

Thanks!

Is it only certain games every time or is it random when it works or doesnt? If it's the same games every time I'd say that it could be possible those games have a non lr- Mame emulator associated with them which could mean the bindings are loaded from a separate cfg whereas all of the lr- emulators use the global retroarch cfg. You should be able to spot check a couple in the runcommand splash screen menu if it's enabled.
