Overlays, default-overlay

bizxaero

Hello

I have some overlays that are working great.
Got them from https://github.com/UDb23/rpie-ovl/tree/master/arcade

My problem is that when I start a game that doesn´t have a overlay it shows the last used overlay.
I would like to change so those game doesn't show any overlay at all.

I tried changing "input_overlay_enable" to "false" in retroarch.cfg, but this gets overwritten when a game with overlay has been fired up.

@bizxaero this is unusual and shoud not happen. To support some more info is needed:
What core (emulator) are you using ?
How do you installed the overlays ?

UDb23

You should try changing "input_overlay_enable" to "false" in the specific system cfg file:
/opt/retropie/configs/YOURSYSTEM/retroarch.cfg
(YOURSYSTEM being the name of the folder of the core you're using).

@UDb23 I followed the Install_readme.txt.
I use the "Arcade" folder. I Use lr-mame2003 and lr-fbalpha.

If I change input_overlay_enable to "false" in "/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg" it changes back to "true" when a game with overlay has been started.

I have also written "input_overlay_enable = false" in
"/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg"
"/opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg"

Another user had this issue in the past and was able to solve; check here.

You must have "save options in exit" turned on.

@pjft and for overlays to work correctly it should be:
config_save_on_exit = "false"

Thanx @UDb23 and @pjft!
It was the config_save_on_exit = "true" thing that messed it up.
I must have changed that a while back ago when I tried to get hi-scores to be saved.
Got it back to "false" now and the overlays work as intended!

And also thanx for the awesome overlays @UDb23!
