      I am curious if it is possible to adjust the volume of individual games and save the config like how one would map controls for each game. Some are louder than others, and rather than having to set the volume on the fly, I would like to "set it and forget it" so I don't need to mess with the game volumes. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

        @morpie spoken for Mame this is possible.
        You can set +dB per game in the Audio-Menue and it will be saved when you leave the game.

          @morpie You can also alter volume in all the RetroArch emulators through the menu. Personally rather than going through each ROM and adjusting the volume I would just reach for the TV remote.

              @morpie Use the RGUI while in a game (usually with Select+X) , then go into the Setings, then Audio and you can adjust the Volume options (Level and Mixer Level) .

                @mitu but will those settings in RGUI not be global for all games?

                I use AdvanceMame which has got the good old TAB-Menue which is implented since 1996.
                Never used lr-mame but thought this would be there too.
                But it seemes it does not, so i would not know how to set volume for a specific rom/game 😔

                  @sirhenrythe5th The RetroArch settings that you change through the GUI are applied for the current ROM, they are not persisted unless you use the 'Save Core Overrides/Save Game Overrides', in which case they're applied for either all games using the same RA Core or just specifically for the ROM you run.
                  Advmame is not a RetroArch core, it's a standalone emulator and it has its own configuration mechanic, but I think it's possible to to the same - save per game settings.

                      @sirhenrythe5th Acually lr stands for libretro ; glad you got it sorted out. Now if only @morpie could also see if this applies so we can answer the original question.

                          Is there a way to set the audio volume of the scraped videos only?
                          My videos have a very high volume compared to the game sound of any cores.

                            I have found that arcade games using lr-mame2003 have vary wildly in their audio volume. Onw example, is Xevious which is much louder than other games and some games end up being much quieter. I know I can adjust the volume under settings / audio but that isn't persistent. I know about the hotkeys for volume up/down but again, I would have to raise adjust the volume every time I play Xevious for example.

                            Is there a way to adjust and save an individual game's volume? I checked the mame menu for Xevious and didn't see a volume option. I guess my other option is to figure out how to install a volume knob in my cabinet so I can just adjust on the fly but that's not much different than using the hotkeys other than a quicker way to dial in the volume. It sure would be nice to just be able to save a +/- db per game and be done with it though.
