GUI Global Settings

Global Settings Panel

The Global Settings panel edits Amiberry-wide defaults that are stored in amiberry.conf, plus a small number of INI-backed UI/input settings stored in amiberry.ini.

These settings are loaded during startup before a normal .uae configuration is applied. A game or machine configuration can still override many of them.

Use Save Global Settings to write the current values back to disk.
