      Clumsy me managed to delete my /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

      Does anyone have an unaltered file? Or know any command line commands to make a new one?

      All help appreciated,
      Evilmurray

          [EDIT: this is the libretro default, not the RetroPie one.]

            @meleu That is not the default one for retropie.

              @BuZz Cheers mate, I'll give it a go. Thanks.

              @meleu Thanks for your help as well. I think I will try to reinstall, like @BuZz suggested.

                @BuZz just for curiosity:
                Is the retropie defaults the libretro retroarch.cfg after the function configure_retroarch or there is something more?

                  You taught me that retropie_packages.sh trick, then I tried

                  sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh retroarch configure
                  

                  And it created a configs/all/retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file. I compared (diff) it with my all/retroarch.cfg and found some few differences (input_state_slot_increase, input_state_slot_decrease, input_exit_emulator, input_enable_hotkey, input_menu_toggle, and some keyboard mappings for player1), but I think these differences are because I configured some keyboard inputs in emulationstation.

                  And then I tried

                  sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh lr-fceumm configure
                  

                  And it created that small default retroarch.cfg for NES. I think this trick very useful to get the default system specifics retroarch.cfg. Is it OK to use this command for this purpose? (I mean: "can I suggest this command to the users that ask for how to get the default retroarch.cfg?")
