@irob the hierarchy is explained here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22816/guide-retroarch-system-emulator-core-and-rom-config-files

this also explains how to reset back to retropie's default configs (which, as you've found is quite different from retroarch's)

So it's a libretro core? Can't you just map it in the Retroarch menu (hotkey+X -> controls -> port 1 controls), or do I misunderstand?

It works! Thank you so much!

@ProjectMars Did you save a game preset/override with these settings ? Check in \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch\config if you have any game override saved and delete the file.

@herb_fargus Fair point, Herb.

@buzz ok! cheers :)

That is brilliant thank you

@dunnieboy i dont have my pi to tell everything exact. After you set your controllers up back at the main menu i believe you go into the bottom option. If you go in there you can set save on exit and you can save your joystick config in there too. I think its in there where the option to set the menu button to the controller too.

@alturis said in Deleting default.cfg:

Now when I attempt to run SpyHunter with mame2010 it always boots up in diagnostic mode with no apparent way to exit that mode. Just a screen full of various tests that can be performed and reports.

Figured this out. Needed to use the keyboard to select the "Dip Switches" option in the mame2010 in-game menu and turn off Service Mode.

@rbaker and @rsimmy ...both methods worked! thanks guys!

So for anybody else who looks at this:

rsimmy's saving to core overrides seems to work for each while @rbaker method works for all...however you can take that script and use it for each core individually if you want to script it in to each one with whatever core you want, which of course takes time. but if you're going to do that, then just do rsimmy's method

so rbaker method for global
and rsimmy method for each one

and either method sticks after reboot

Thank you!

Shaders can be set under retropie setup - Configedit (005), Configure basic libretto emulator options (0), configure default options for all libretto emulators

After rebuilding a new kernel to help solve my "northwest drift" problem with my Raphnet adapter, I've noticed this seems to be fixed. Maybe a fix was pushed out that I got when I updated prior to patching the kernel? In either case, I tested this with a couple of games, and it now seems to be working like it should.

@herb_fargus thank you very much, i edited the first es_systems.cfg but didn't edit the one in /home/pi/.emulationstation
