FBA Per-ROM Config

[carnesman]

Was working with a friend to setup a special configuration for FBA so that you can change the mapping of the controllers differently for each ROM. What I was able to do was add the following code to the runcommand.sh file:

if [ $system = "fba" ]; then
    echo "FBA, Looking for ROM specific config"
    if [ -f "$rom.cfg" ]; then
        echo "SPECIAL ROM CONFIG FOUND"
        sudo ln -f -s $rom.cfg /opt/retropie/emulators/pifba/fba2x.cfg
    fi
fi

# run command
eval $command </dev/tty 2>/tmp/runcommand.log

if [ $system = "fba" ]; then
    sudo ln -f -s /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fba2x.cfg /opt/retropie/emulators/pifba/fba2x.cfg
fi

Once this was added, I moved fba2x.cfg to the above listed path (/home/pi/RetroPie/roms), then you just make a file that matches the rom with a .cfg extension. For each config, if it is found, it is loaded as the FBA config (controller mapping) for that game specifically.

IE: For a ROM sfa2.zip, you would make a config file sfa2.zip.cfg in the roms folder.

Hope that helps someone!

thanks – worth noting rom specific configuration is already supported –

see line ~525

    # if the rom has a custom configuration then append that too
    if [[ -f "$rom.cfg" ]]; then
        conf+="'|'\"$rom.cfg\""
    fi
