Retroarch Settings per Content Directory and Extract zipped Roms in Launchbox doesnt work toghether

[Sebastian Moder]

I use Retroarch for my most games in Launchbox and i want to use the option "extract rom-archive before start" option. But i also use different shader settings per content-directory (exaple: GBC and GB Games in SameBoy Core get different shader settings). The problem is if the zipped rom is extracted it's located and runned from the "temp" dir inside the 7-zip folder. So retroarch thinks all my content is in the same directory.

It could be simply fixed if 7zip or launchbox adds a platform prefix folder to the extracted file in the temp-directory.

would it be possible to fix / implement this?

You could use per core configs rather than content directory. This is what I use and it works well.

That's what i thought too. But it's not possible with multicores like "SameBoy" or "Genesis Plus GX" because I use different shader settings for GB, GBC (SameBoy) and Genesis/MS, Game Gear (Genesis Plus GX)

WIth the single system cores that's no problem, that's right.
