Question on use of .conf options

Open aaciii opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Hello —

Is it possible to configure the shader options in a separate .conf file?

Many off-the-shelf systems already have conf files created for many (hundreds) of individual games... being able to set the shader (or other) options “globally” would be stupendous versus editing all those files.

can you call me a program or emulator where there is something like that. That I get an idea of what you mean.?

An example is the front end "CoinOps" and "CoinOps Next". Here is an example of the standard batch file that is used to launch DOS games via DOSbox.

@ECHO OFF CD.. dosbox.exe ".\roms\BattleChess_DOS\chess.exe" -conf "BattleChess_DOS.conf" -fullscreen -noconsole -exit
