Raspberry Pi Retroarch, overrides and appendconfig

I'm just messing around with the retroarch configuration life cycle.

There are dozen way to put in your desired configuration.

By default config in

$HOME/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg

 will be taken. One can use overrides to specify core or game specific configs in

$HOME/.config/retroarch/config/core_name/core_name.cfg

or

$HOME/.config/retroarch/config/core_name/game_name.cfg


Further on CMD shell the possibilty

retroarch --config=retroarch.cfg --appendconfig=game.cfg

exists. BUT: configuration in game.cfg will only be taken, if the specific config line in retroarch.cfg does NOT exists.

If you want to do so, set parameter

auto_overrides_enable = "false"

Now the appendconfig work like overrides, but the overrides will not be taken into account anymore.

:)

ok, copy game.cfg to

$HOME/.config/retroarch/config/core_name/

and it will be taken as override. Keep controller setups in remap config folder and active auto_remap_enable = "true".
