neil9000 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 What do you mean by corrupt? did you change some core settings and they no longer work? If so open your Retroarch folder and find the retroartch-core-options.cfg and open it in notepad or notepad++. Find the lines related to the core and just delete them all, and go to file and save. For example in this image i have highlighted all the Beetle PSX HW core options, then i can just hit delete and save, to restore that core to its defaults.

You will see folders in there named after the core, open the one you want and delete the .cfg in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyskullhead Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 No Effect!! Do you know how to start fresh remove the core and all its configs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have something funky going on, the .cfg in the config folder is where it says if a shader is active or not. If you want to start with a completely fresh retroarch then delete the three .cfg you see here, but be warned you will lose everything it will be just like a fresh download. You can also just go to the Retroarch/cores folder and delete them,but i wouldnt as nothing is saved in the actual core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyskullhead Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 dont know what do to Somethings corrupt it will not save any changes gives an error message , if you try to save any changes to config within retroarch Might have to bite the bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyskullhead Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 i even tried a new build of retroarch , which seemed to work initially then when I changed settings in one core it carried over into them all !! the configs from old build seemed to have populated via Notepad ++ into new build , is that possible ?? the new build has now corrupted so I cannot change shaders again is it worth trying again but first deleting notepad ++ its really bugging why it keeps doing this I even tried transferring everything to a different HDD in case that was the cause no change !

scooter1974 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Did you by chance use the installer to install retroarch? Open up a run box and type %APPDATA%\Retroarch and see if there is anything in that folder. I'm thinking you have some stray configs, messing things up for you.

johnnyskullhead Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hi Mate not sure will have a look which version of retroarch should i use ? Thanks Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyskullhead Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 says cannot find , when i type that command should i get rid of all copies of retroarch and restart or is there another way ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter1974 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Personally I would just start fresh and delete every instance of Retroarch that you have (but that's just me). Go to https://www.retroarch.com/?page=platforms and download the version that you need. I wouldn't bother with the installer, just grab the files and put them where you want. If you have a 32 bit OS then grab the 32 bit version, 64 bit, then grab the 64 bit version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
