[8bit_astronaut]

please could you help me? I know that this could be a very noob question but i really need to edit the config file of retroarch, i want to set diferent control configurations per core, so i want to edit it manually like in the windows version. How could i acces to those files? Please, explain it like im four years old. Thank you so much and excuse my terrible english, my native languaje is spanish

Hello read wiki page : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Custom-controller-mapping-for-specific-system-(EN) read wiki recalbox.conf page : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/recalbox.conf-(EN) modified recalbox.conf to add custom mapping to core

## If you do not want recalboxOS to generate the configuration for the emulator : 
;snes.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.emulator=libretro
## If you do not want recalboxOS to generate the configuration for the emulator : 
;snes.configfile=/path/to/my/configfile.cfg

You need to have "configuration save on exit" and "configuration per core" both set to on.
