/.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:

  1. Create the folder above
  2. Change the config
  3. 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: image
