GBA Retroarch config overriding defaults and can't remove it!

[Finndersen]

So most retroarch emulators follow the default retroarch config and only have this inside their system-specific retroarch.cfg:

#Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/gb/"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

However, the GBA retroarch.cfg is huge and explicitly specifies all the controller mappings and other settings, and if I remove them by deleting lines or the whole file, it's just created again when launching a ROM

Is there any way to keep the GBA retroarch config minimal and adopt the generic defaults??

Cheers

@Finndersen delete the retroarch.cfg for that emulator. Then go into retropie settings. Then click on retropie setup. Then in there choose update retropie-setup. Then after that click on manage packages then choose main mackages and update the emulator that is causing the problem. That will fix it.

Great thanks, it worked! why would it build such a big config file before??

@Finndersen it was some problem with retroarch and the update. Its been fixed. Henced why you needed to update retropie-setup first.

@edmaul69 Belated thanks here. I had an older version and a full update had me stumped for a week. Your solution worked like a charm. :)
