Reply To: Overlays makes games crash

[quote=98609]I think the problem is the file path information in your retroarch.cfg
This entry in the config works for me:
input_overlay = /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/wii/scanlines.cfg

You cannot only write :
input_overlay = wii/canlines.cfg
or so.

edit:
I see there is also an entry in the config:
overlay_directory
But this don’t work for me if I only set a path here and select the
image via input_overlay.
Only a full File path as described above works for me.

I’m already using the full file path; it doesn’t work.

this was not an issue until I reinstalled everything about 2 weeks ago.

This is only an issue with SNES and NES as far as I can tell. I’ve been getting a segmentation fault in my error log with this, which I posted to the retropie github.
