      I have problem when trying to save game overrides in RetroArch. For example, if i save an override for 1941 (using the FB Alpha core) i get a config file in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/1941.cfg

      ...containing

      config_save_on_exit = "false"
      input_overlay = "~/.config/retroarch/overlay/arcade-bezels/1941-AH.cfg"

      But when i load the game, the Display overlay option is off, even though i just set it to on and saved game overide.

      HELP! :)

        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 with the overlay option turned on.

        You can find more information about this at:
        https://docs.libretro.com/guides/libretro-overlays/

        When everybody else activate overlays and save, do you get the input_overlay_enabled added automatically?
