[SOLVED] Emulator doesn't start after bad config - save configuration file failed

[mozvillat]

Hi !
I tried to play with mi lr-beetle-psx configuration (shaders and co), and now all the games doesn't start... I think i've do a bad thing, but how can i do to delete the bad file ?

If i show /dev/shm/runcommand.log :

Parameters: 
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-beetle-psx/mednafen_psx_hw_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (France).chd" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

It seem like before my change, but the game exit on start...

Please help !!!

Regards

Depends which one is the 'bad' config - a verbose log should show more, but you've only shown the normal (non-detailed) log. Get a verbose log and upload it on pastebin.com.

Try removing the core options for lr-beetle-psx from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg and see if this solves the issue.

@mitu
Thanks for your help.

If i removed all the line for beetle_psx_hw, the emulator starts.
But i don't know which parameters fail...

Here is the lines removed : https://pastebin.com/3nr0SZFk

The last thing i'm doing, it's try to activate the left analog stick...is this the problem ?

Regards

edit : i've paste the lines removed and ... it works again !??!! Don't know why...

I don't think the input configuration may be the issue here. Probably one of the options related to video rendering (upscaling/filtering/etc.).

Yes, i think the problem is elsewhere...
The emulator starts, but when i'm going under the retroarch menu (hotkey + x), in first time the emu crash.
I've cut the conf file in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg and i can go to the menu.
But i can't save the current configuration file

failed saving config to /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg

I've try to reset to defaults... but the problem is the same...
I've no logs under /dev/shm/runcommands.log

What can i do ?

Thanks in advance.

Don't use the reset menu in RetroArch. Instead, remove the config file (from /opt/retropie/configs/all and re-install RetroArch to re-generate the default config included in RetroPie.
What settings are you trying to change ? Core options are saved automatically and don't need changing.

My conf is ok, i Just want to set the input controller to have analog stick.
I ve to set it each Time the emu boots…

Then you should save an input remap, that option is not saved in the configuration file.

@mitu Thanks ! i can't change core settings (just saved them) but i can save remap files ! and that did the trick !!!
