------------ H - HERE IT IS - GLOBAL EMULATOR CONFIGURATION ------------
The global value will be used for all emulators, except if the value
is redefined in the emulator
Set game resolution for emulators
select your mode from the command : tvservice -m [MODE]
CEA 5 HDMI : 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced
CEA 4 HDMI : 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive
use 'default' for using the default resolution
(string)
global.videomode=default## Shader set
Automatically select shaders for all systems
(none, retro, scanlines)
global.shaderset=none
Once enabled, your screen will be cropped, and you will have a pixel perfect image (0,1)
global.integerscale=0
Set gpslp shader for all emulators (prefer shadersets above). Absolute path (string)

Set retroarch input driver (auto, udev, sdl2)
If you don't have issues with your controllers, let auto
global.inputdriver=auto
If you do not want recalboxOS to generate the configuration for all emulators (string)
;global.configfile=/path/to/my/configfile.cfg
------------ I - EMULATORS CHOICES -----------
You can override the global configuration here
Here is the snes example
;snes.videomode=CEA 4 HDMI
snes.core=snes9x_next
;snes.shaders=/recalbox/share/shaders/shaders_glsl/mysnesshader.gplsp
;snes.ratio=16/9
;snes.smooth=0
;snes.rewind=1
;snes.autosave=0
;snes.emulator=libretro
;snes.integerscale=0
If you do not want recalboxOS to generate the configuration for the emulator :
;snes.configfile=/path/to/my/configfile.cfg
Default cores for RPi3
snes.core=snes9x_next
gba.core=mgba
mame.core=mame078
nes.core=fceunext
NeoGeo emulator
You can use pifba or a libretro core (fba2x,libretro)
neogeo.emulator=libretro
If you set libretro as neogeo.emulator, the line below sets the retroarch core (fba,imame4all)
neogeo.core=fba
N64 emulator is configured to display a screen with a 640x480 resolution (native n64 resolution)
So you must use one of these video modes (DMT 4 HDMI,CEA 1 HDMI).
If your screen is not compatible with one of these video modes, please check the recalbox's wiki.
n64.videomode=DMT 4 HDMI
If you are using a CRT screen, please change the setting above with this one :
n64.videomode=default
Configurations generated by Recalbox
fba_libretro.autosave=0
megadrive.autosave=1
fba.emulator=default
fba.ratio=auto
