RetroArch with config files from cores?

[zetec-s-joe]

Hi, any idea how I get LaunchBox to load with a core config file instead of loading with the default RA.config file please?

You can add a custom config command line parameter in the Edit Emulator screen. Go to Toosl/Edit Emulator then go to your Retroarch and click the Associated Platforms tab. Enter the custom config command line in that tab.  

So say you wanted Game & Watch core to run a custom config you would have something like:

-L "cores\gw_libretro.dll" -c "config\instert name of custom config.cfg"

You can also save per core configs which will auto load with the core.

per core configs is what I have on my RetroArch, I'll try the command line again, thanks

I already saw a thread with what you suggested and it didn't work, you version does, so thank you

I have been having an issue with the latest RA update with per core configs and shaders. I went back to 1.5 and dont have any issues. *shrug*

Hi @LogicalEgo

Could you pass me that version of the core for Game and Watch? I'm trying to download some version of the Handheld Electronic (GW) core from retroarch, but I can't find any now. Even updating the list of cores today from the retroarch application.  ?

Thanks.
