      So I noticed on Videopac / Odyssey 2 some games require port 2 controller instead of port 1. Since the core doesn't seem to have a "swap controller ports" option, I go into Settings > Input > Port 2 Controllers > and make my Port 1 controller my Port 2 controller as such:

      But when I go to "Save Game Overrides..." 'that change doesn't stick and I have to do this all over again when I re-load the game. What step am I missing here?

        Inputs are not saved with regular configuration files, you need to use 'Save Core/Game Remap' - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping.
