How to set-up per core specific settings?

[Luciano Silva]

I want to set-up one diferent overlay per core.
I´ve changed this line on "emulatorlauncher.sh"

if [[ "$emulator" == "atari2600" ]]; then
/recalbox/scripts/runcommand.sh 4 "$retroarchbin -L $retroarchcores/stella_libretro.so --config /recalbox/share/system/.config/retroarch/config/stella_libretro.cfg "$1""
fi

To load my custom settings on the file "stella_libretro.cfg" but retroarch still always loading the default "retroarchcustom.cfg" located at "/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/"

Someone can explain me how to set-up custom specific per-core settings?

We don't use emulatorlauncher.sh anymore

You should read the wiki : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/How-to-use-custom-config-for-emulators-(EN)

OK , now is working.Thanks.
But i have a new problem.
I saw this awesome tutorial:
https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/1490/vectrex/76

Adding this line on emulatorlauncher.sh
"/recalbox/scripts/runcommand.sh 4 "$retroarchbin -L $retroarchcores/vecx_libretro.so --config /recalbox/configs/retroarch/vectrex.cfg --appendconfig /recalbox/share/overlays/vectrex/$filenameNoExt.cfg "$1""

It`s posible to add a specific overlay for each vectrex game.
How can i do this with the new setup of recalbox?

[Substring]

as i said, emulatorlauncher.sh is not used anymore

Vectrex overlays are a little more complicated to use and need some tweaking in some other files. It should be done in recalbox 4.1

Well ill be waiting for next version. Whats the latest version using emulatorlauncher.sh?

[Substring]

You can change the way vectrex is launched to use ematorlauncher.sh instead. But take care :the file.woild be erased on update

[Luciano Silva]

sorry for another replay , could you say me how i do that?

[Substring]

You have to mount -o rmount, rw /then edit /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg. There you will see all emulators are launched with a python script. Find the path to emulatorlauncher.sh, and replace the command line to launch vectrex

[Luciano Silva]

Well i`ve used my old rpi1 emulationstation config to launch vectrex but is not working

<command>/recalbox/scripts/runcommand.sh 4 "/usr/bin/retroarch -L /usr/lib/libretro/vecx_libretro.so --config /recalbox/share/system/.config/retroarch/config/vecx_libretro.cfg %ROM%"</command>

Is the syntaxis correct or the problem is the "vecx_libretro.cfg" file?
I´ve tried to launch a game from the shell and its not loading the core , but it seams to load the config file
Any suggestion?Thanks for your help

[Substring]

i need an output of something to tell you what's wrong. Does /recalbox/scripts/runcommand.sh exists at least ?

[Luciano Silva]

Finally its working , thank you for your help.
I share my config:

/recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

<command>/recalbox/scripts/emulatorlauncher.sh %ROM% "vectrex"</command>

/recalbox/scripts/emulatorlauncher.sh

if [[ "$emulator" == "vectrex" ]]; then
/recalbox/scripts/runcommand.sh 4 "$retroarchbin -L $retroarchcores/vecx_libretro.so --config /recalbox/share/system/.config/retroarch/config/vecx_libretro.cfg --appendconfig /recalbox/share/overlays/vectrex/$filenameNoExt.cfg "$1""
fi

remember to save the files you changed, they will most probably overwritten on update
