Emuelec Config File -
The main configuration file is:
[SNES] retroarch.core = snes9x_libretro.so retroarch.video.shader = /usr/share/shaders/crt-pi.glslp [PSX] retroarch.core = pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so retroarch.bezel = 0 emuelec config file
Never edit retroarch.cfg directly – changes will be overwritten. Use emuelec.conf per-system overrides instead. After editing emuelec.conf , restart EmulationStation with systemctl restart emustation or simply reboot. The main configuration file is: [SNES] retroarch
