      Using Rpi3, Latest Retropie Pie, and lr-fbalpha

      A while back, my FBA use to read the cfg files inside the rom directory that was put in there from floobs overlay manager.

      It would show Dig Dug overlay, and shader, etc etc.

      But now recently (about 6 months ago) it stopped, and for the last 6 months i couldn't for the life of my find out how to fix it.
      Weird thing is in MAME, the per game cfg's are working, and showing the overlays etc.

      My FBA roms are in the default /fba/ dir, and my mame roms are in the default mame dir.

        @red2blue can you give an example of a working mame .cfg, a not working fba .cfg and also your /opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg? thanks!

            @dankcushions i think i just solved my own problem. its because i put a input_overlay in the retroarch and its overriding the game files huh?
