retroarch.cfg not being read?

[kruuth]

I've checked the file in /opt/retropie/configs/all and it is globally writable but whenever I try to make a change inside of retroarch and save it doesn't take. Is there something that I need to do in order to get this to save? Is it saving to a different place?

If you are making the change in RGUI itself you may want to check this guide:
If you change in RGUI it will write a file to /opt/retropie/configs/{systemname}/ (and it wont be read automatically for good reasons.

You can of course edit the global retroarch.cfg directly if you want.

I was trying to get the global settings changed, in this case, pulling up the menu, exit buttons, etc.

@kruuth you can use the configuration editor:

Thank you. I didn't see how to configure keyboard inputs on there but I'll look again. I think I missed it.

@kruuth
When in the config menu, try

• Setup / Configuration
• Edit RetroPie/Retroarch configurations
• Advanced Configuration
• Manually edit Retroarch configurations
• /all/retroarch.cfg
