Dosbox: Where are game specific configration saved?
-
Hi Everyone,
When you launch a game EXE and make changes to the keymap, or other settings at runtime, where exactly are these settings saved? Are game specific changes actually retained, or is everything reset back to default each time?
For that matter, Is there a way to add game specific configurations (Maybe a default file it searches for or something inside the game folder) without breaking the automatic mounting of folders and such?

This depends on which configurations you refer. The one from retropie/emulationstation or that one that you change in the game itself?
For the game changes itself I worked a lot on this to get a clean setup. I do this with the OverlayFS feature in Linux. This needs some fstab changes and common folder structure. But it would maybe fullfill your requirements. I planned to document it somewhere. If you're interested I would tell you some more details.
