SentaiBrad said Yea this is totally a RetroArch thing, and I don't even remember what the MCR files are. Potentially files if you let RetroArch handle the saves? I think these are the equivalent of SRM files, which are going to get written even if you change that option anyways. I don't think there is any way to stop these from being written unless you let RetroArch control them and then tell it to use a specific location? I've never done this, I just remember reading these lines in the settings. MCR files seem to be memory card images. RetroArch/Mednafen creates them individually for each game. Usually, you can specify their location in the core's cfg file. shadowfire36 said here is my question , do you use retro-arch for any other type of iso images like sega cd or saturn ? i have learned that retroarch has a problem when auto selecting image files. In order to remedy this i copied my retro arch directory and renamed it retroarch_PSX then went into the the add emulator option and added it as a different emulator called retro_psx ,after this i removed all other cores in my directory and only kept the cores related to the psx . i enabled the medefecn psx core and saved the config file and the problem was solved. i run my iso's from a linux server and mapped that as my I:\ i have all my games working fine and i can run it from my laptop or my living room pc as well as my bedroom pc I'm at the beginning of my setup configuration, I started with PSX but I do plan on adding other systems. I just want to tackle problems as they show up instead of just piling them on! I think I found the issue. It does seem the problem is only present in the few latest available builds. When using an external launcher (LaunchBox, Rocket Launcher, ...), RetroArch looks for a different cfg filename than what it normally use... This post describe it better. A simple fix would be to copy and rename the psx core cfg file but by doing so, I create the possibility of having 2 cfg files not in sync. I would prefer to have only one cfg file per core. Is there a RetroArch command line parameter that let me specify the cfg to use?

Hi, I recently began using LaunchBox and it seem quite cool. However I have a big issue. I want to play my PSX images from a READ-ONLY samba share that I have mapped to a drive letter on my Win10 laptop. The problem is that RetroArch launched from Launchbox seem to want to create and use a .mcr file from the location the game image file is stored. Obviously, RetroArch cannot write to this location and thus crash. I want to specify the location where to save and use .mcr files to a subfolder in either RetroArch or LaunchBox, which are stored locally on my laptop HDD. Is that possible? Thanks!
