      Hi everybody,

      Is it possible to set default machine type in Atari Emulator on Retropie? Some of my games work only on Atari 130XE and each time I want to play them I need do press F1, then go to System Settings, and then change the machine type to Atari 130XE. Is it possible to set this option as default when starting the emulator? I tried to set this in the .cfg file but without success.

      Thanks in advance for your help

        @Basakatu Have you tried using the save option at the top of the Quick Menu's Options? That should save the machine type for that game specifically.

          @MajorDangerNine said in Default machine type in Atari Emulator:

          Quick Menu

          I haven't. But what should I try to save? Game overrides or core overrides?

            @Basakatu At the top of the RGUI's Quick Menu's Options section is a game specific save option like how in controls there is a core or game specific remap save option. If I'm not being clear enough, then it is the same part you are going into to change the machine type.

            I don't think the core and game overrides available in the Quick Menu's Overrides save changes to Options. Still, you would want the game override one if it did.
