m64py 0.2.5 (latest) expects configs not in Mupen64Plus Core 2.5.9 (latest)

Any read of the configs then crashes the ui with stacktrace:

In this case, VerticalSync is missing from the core lib:

21:26:28 mllilek mllilek-debian unix $ grep 'Fullscreen' /usr/local/lib/libmupen64plus.so.2
Binary file /usr/local/lib/libmupen64plus.so.2 matches
21:26:53 mllilek mllilek-debian unix $ grep 'VerticalSync' /usr/local/lib/libmupen64plus.so.2

[marco-lilek]

Is a way to dynamically discover configs? So that on upgrade of the core something like this wouldn't happen?

[marco-lilek]

if you just comment out these references to "VerticalSync" the ui runs perfectly fine

[gen2brain]

VerticalSync is still written in the config file, together with a comment for that option, i.e. # If true, activate the SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL attribute, who does that? I am testing with no m64py/mupen64plus config by default.

$ strings mupen64plus-video-rice.so | grep Vertical
VerticalSync

It is from Rice plugin, and config is written in Video-General section.
