Config selection allow you to have different active config base on the GameID sent by a supported game loader.

Limitation

First BlueRetro got a limit of 16 files on it's file system. This isn't related to space on the partition but rather due to the heavy usage of RAM the filesystem consume when the maximum files count is high.

BlueRetro got 4 system files to begin with so this leave space for a maximum of 12 extra configs for GameID.

How to switch a Game to it's own config

  1. Using a loader that support GameId (Xstation, EverDrive, Swiss-GC) start the game than disconnect every bluetooth device from BlueRetro.
  2. Connect to either the Advance config or Presets page at https://blueretro.barrenechea.cl/
  3. Once connected the current active Game name will be displayed:
    Config selection with the Global config active
  4. Click on Switch to GameID button
  5. Now every times this game is active this config will be loaded automatically and any change will be saved in that file.
