[quote=101494]Alternatively, if you have a way to SCP into the Pi, you can save the config after editing any settings in the emulator GUI, then just rename the new config file to “retroarch.cfg” through SCP. The default retroarch.cfg does not have the “save config on exit” option enabled, so it will unfortunately never save your settings unless you edit it manually or save a new config and rename it.

Do bear in mind if you do it this way it will affect the way retropie deals with the config files, so I wouldn’t suggest this unless you are comfortable understanding the effects.
