RetroArch - Autoconfig folder missing and needs to be changed to save input profiles
This Video summarizes it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_iG47EgwiQ
/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/config/retroarch/config/autoconfig <- folder is missing
retroarch.cfg
Old value:
joypad_autoconfig_dir = "/app/share/libretro/autoconfig"
New Value:
joypad_autoconfig_dir = "~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/config/retroarch/config/autoconfig"
It is a bigger issue as well as they are not working we are not shipping any of the autoconfigs at all. It is easy to test:
Remap the folder in the config and create it. Enable the online updater and download controller profiles.
It still works but not optimal for all the controllers.
This is a known issue for the flatpak version of RetroArch as well. But we can easily patch it for RetroDECK with the steps:
- Create the folder above
- Change the config
- Make sure that https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig is synced into it each time we update RetroArch for the lastest configs.
Make it look like this:
