      Hello everyone :)

      I have a problem with RetroArch when I save a configuration for example to change the function of the ESC key when I restart RetroArch the change is not taken into account why ?

      Where is the file RetroArch.cfg in RetroPie ? Can we edit it ?

        Probably because you're not saving the configuration after the modification. The global RetroArch configuration file is at /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg, and can be edited by starting RetroArch directly from the RetroPie menu.

          Thank you for your answer yes I record well before leaving RetroArch but it does not take changes why ???

          Same to play the joystick with the core Fuse (ZX Spectrum) it is obligatory to go in Controls > User 1 Device Type > Kempston Joystick then I go in Overrides > Save Core Overrides.

          At the restart of RetroPie changes are not taken into account !

            That's not part of the core overrides, so it's not saved there. Take a look at the Docs for the Fuse core to see how you can set this option in the configuration file.

              OK but I do not know where to find this documentation ?

              & to reassign the basic keys of RetroArch & save the configuration how do we do it ?

                @Sebiohazard https://retropie.org.uk/docs/ - there are separate sections on RetroArch and the Spectrum emulator(s).

                  It's OK I found how to have the Kempston Joystick at the start of Fuse :) you have to add the following line

                  input_libretro_device_p1 = "513"
                  

                  to file /opt/retropie/configs/all/zxspectrum/retroarch.cfg
