Retroarch is looking for an additional configuration file (appending config):.Retroarch searches for and loads the configuration of the core if its file exists : “.Loading core : FinalBurn Neo ( “.\ cores\fbneo_libretro.dll” ).

Reading the general configuration file ( retroarch.cfg).

to run program retroarch.exe -f –verbose -L cores\fbneo_libretro.dll –appendconfig “.\config\MAME\MAME-CPS3.cfg” “D:\Games\Capcom Play System III\sfiii.zip”.

Let’s take an example, if we want to launch the game sfiii3 “Street Fighter III: New Generation (Euro 970204)”, this is what it will give: Warning for FBA: if you put a relative path in a configuration file (not in the overlay file), example input_overlay = “.\overlays\mame\mame.cfg” in C:\retroarch\config\FB Alpha\FB Alpha.cfg, it will absolutely be necessary that the directory of launching (or directory of work) corresponds to the directory containing “retroarch.exe”. It is in this file that you will find the configuration of the overlay of our core. Here is the contents of the file C:\RetroArch\overlays\mame\mame.cfg : overlays = 1 This configuration file contains the path and name of the configuration file for the overlay, so in our example the real configuration file is “. Input_overlay = ".\overlays\mame\mame.cfg" Take the example of C:\RetroArch\config\MAME\MAME.cfg, this file contains the configuration of the core mame_libretro.dll : state_slot = "0" It is therefore in these files, in text format, that the configuration tells Retroarch whether to load a overlay configuration or not: This file DOES NOT contain the overlay configuration, it just indicates the path and the name of the file that contains the overlay settings.

C:\RetroArch\config\MAME\jojo.cfg (for JoJo’ with Mame).

C:\retroarch\config\FB Alpha\sfiii3.cfg (for Street Fighter III with FBAlpha).

Last, read the configuration for the loaded game, examples:.

C:\retroarch\config\FinalBurn Neo\Capcom Play System.cfg.

C:\retroarch\config\FB Alpha\Capcom Play System.cfg.C:\RetroArch\config\MAME\Capcom Play System III.cfg.C:\RetroArch\config\MAME\Capcom Play System II.cfg.Warning: Retroarch does not load the 2 files, it is one or the other, in priority the file which bears the name of the platform emulated. Reading of the configuration of the platform type (CPS1, CPS2 …) OR reading of the configuration set with the option “ –appendconfig PATH_AND_FILENAME.cfg“.C:\RetroArch\config\MAME\MAME.cfg (fot mame_libretro.dll).C:\retroarch\config\FB Alpha\FB Alpha.cfg (for fbalpha_libretro.dll).Reading the general configuration of the core for the loaded game, examples :.First reading the general configuration ( retroarch.cfg).This is the closest configuration to the game that has priority : When you start a game, Retroarch will test the presence of several files and load them if they exist. The directory of Retroarch contains a tree of this form, look well the directory C:\retroarch\config\ et C:\retroarch\overlays\, it is these 2 directories which are used to manage our overlays : C:\retroarch\ I’ll quickly describe how RetroArch handles overlays, Retroarch handles overlays, as much as using it. Moreover, if the emulator changes its display system or changes its system of options, RocketLauncher will not succeed, it also seems to me that RocketLauncher is dependent on “AutoIt” The simplest is to have a FrontEnd ( LaunchBox, HyperSpin, EmulationStation …) that directly launch your emulator (Retrorarch, Mame, Fba, Fba-Neo …) Why ? because the configuration is already not very simple, if in addition you add an extra layer, you will quickly get lost and especially spend a lot of time. My opinion, which can be questionable, is to avoid going through this kind of program. Here’s what it can do with and without overlays :Īlmost all emulators have a system of overlays, and when the emulator does not have it is possible to go through external program like RocketLauncher. The screens, at the time, were in a 4/3 format (rather square), now most screens are in 16/9 (rectangular), which leaves a blank space on the sides of the game. Overlays allow to add visual effects to an emulated game, it allows to simulate CRT screens or to add on the sides of the game an image that can be related to the console type, or in relation to the game itself. Today, I’m going to give you my feedback about the overlays in RetroArch.
