RetroArch - Doesn't create a retroarch-core-options.cfg file?

[DR9]

Ok this is driving me nuts just using RetroArch I can't get it to create or save a retroarch-core-options.cfg file.

 

I have per core save ON

 

I load up medanfen-psx core, adjust settings, go to core options make changes like 2x internal native res etc. then I save the config and it creates only a core medanfen-psx.cfg but no retroarch-core-options.cfg file to hold the changes I made to the CORE options.

 

So when I load medanfen-psx.cfg I have everything but since there was no retroarch-core-options.cfg to read from the CORE options are back to default and I loose the settings like 2x int res I made.

 

I tried this on several cores, same results. I tried 3 nightly builds, same issue and with 1.3.0 stable and older builds same thing. Gotta be something I'm doing or missing.

 

Anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Nope nothing happens, empty file.

Have to tried save on exit?

Turn per core config on, save on exit off. Ensure you save system config manually. Make sure you also have RetroArch running as Administrator so it can make files

Nothing works.

 

in RL I have per core enabled and path to my config correct.

 

I launch thru RL a game using Sony PLaystation.cfg (say Aliens Trilogy)

 

I hit F1

 

I see the Sony Playstation.cfg loaded.

 

I goto quick menu

 

I edit the Core options to turn on 2x native res and some other things like dither.

I edit core input and change none/unknown controller to dualshock for p1 and p2

 

I back out to main menu I click save current config

 

I exit the game, back to RL. I go to check the files and the Sony Playstation.cfg was updated (new time stamp) but no retro-core-options file in root or in \config

 

I reload the same game and nothing was saved, the controller inputs went back to defaults not Dualshock and of course all core options are default.
