      I have an issue where on Vice I'm trying to change the key binds for the on screen keyboard to some other key than "3" so I went into the Settings > Input > Key binding and changed it to something I don't need and that seems to work just fine...

      BUT....

      For the life of me I can't figure out how to actually save that configuration so it loads up the next time with my new key binding.

      What do I need it to do to in order to save those core config changes that I've made?

      Thanks in advance.

        Save a core/game remap - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping.

          @mitu I'm doing that. And I get the widget that says "Saved Successfully" but then I reload that game, or any other game in the core and it doesn't work.

          What folder is the .rmp file supposed to be in?

            @TPR said in Help with saving Core Configuration - lr-Vice64:

            What folder is the .rmp file supposed to be in?

            Should be in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/remaps.

              @mitu Found the folder:
              /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/c64/VICE x64

              And it seems to be saving correctly.

              Here's the contents of the remap file:
              input_libretro_device_p1 = "1"
              input_libretro_device_p2 = "1"
              input_libretro_device_p3 = "1"
              input_libretro_device_p4 = "1"
              input_libretro_device_p5 = "1"
              input_player1_analog_dpad_mode = "1"
              input_player2_analog_dpad_mode = "1"
              input_player3_analog_dpad_mode = "0"
              input_player4_analog_dpad_mode = "0"
              input_player5_analog_dpad_mode = "0"

              I'm trying to remove the keybindings for "SELECT" on the Key:num3 because every time you press the 3 button on the keyboard, it brings up the virtual keyboard, and if you're playing a text adventure game, that can get really annoying.

              I can't figure out a way to unbind that key and make it stick.

                @mitu Ok, I think I figured this one out. I added the following line to the retroarch.cfg in the /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/c64/ folder:

                input_player1_select = "nul"

                and that seems to have fixed it.

                Thanks for your help! It did actually make me start looking at a few other things and pointed me in the correct direction!
