Controller doesn't work when using own config

[Yoakin]

Hi.

I'm sorry if that question has already been answered before, but I couldn't find anything.

I am having the following problem:

I want to save for each system my own shader settings. So I select the shader that I want to use, go to the Retroarch menu and select "Save new config".
In the recalbox config I now assign this new cfg file to the emulator via this command (for SNES for example): snes.configfile=/recalbox/share/system/.config/retroarch/config/snes9x_next.cfg

When I start a SNES game now, the config is loaded with the correct shader settings but my controls won't work anymore. No inputs are possible.

When I use the retroarchcustom.cfg everything works fine. What am I doing wrong?

almost same thing here, when i load (manualy) any custom config. i lost my "hotkey" (and some lines in menu, a.e. "resume" line) i cant get back to game.

don't know if other keys are impacted too... cant play ^^

precision : same behavior with all emulators

What did you add in your cfg file ? There is an easier way to set shaders

In my case :

• shader and/or overlay, and/or just a key remaping. i cant load a cfgfile from in game menu.

even if I save the default config (menu/save new config) without changing anything. when I load manualy this config file, I lost the "hotkey" AND the "resume" option on the menu, so can t go back to game.

Yoakin seems to have the same pb.
