If it may be of help for anyone else i found a solution, even though it's not optimal. If i edit the game override file that was created and add: input_overlay_enable = "true" then the overlay is displayed. So, now i need to manually edit all the config files that should have an overlay which is not optimal but atleast it works. What i don't understand is why RetroArch don't add this line by itself when i save a game override. You can find more information about this at: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/libretro-overlays/ When everybody else adds overlays and save, do you get the input_overlay_enabled added automatically?
