Ask you ask me, I put this on forum.
I begun today to transfer my mame roms from Recalbox to Batocera, and I had some strange behavior that I could not explain. So as example spacegun.zip, a game mirrored in cabinet and where 2 shaders are to apply, first to flip the game with flip-horizontal.glsl, shader that I put into /recalbox/share/myshaders. Now in Recalbox, after defining in Retroarch there is a file spacegun.cfg created (with option game override) into a folder MAME 2003. With this inside
config_save_on_exit = "false"
aspect_ratio_index = "21"
video_shader = "~/.config/retroarch/config/retroarchcustom.glslp"
input_player3_joypad_index = "2"
input_player4_joypad_index = "3"
input_player5_joypad_index = "4"
input_player6_joypad_index = "5"
input_player7_joypad_index = "6"
input_player8_joypad_index = "7"
input_player9_joypad_index = "8"
input_player10_joypad_index = "9"
input_player11_joypad_index = "10"
input_player12_joypad_index = "11"
input_player13_joypad_index = "12"
input_player14_joypad_index = "13"
input_player15_joypad_index = "14"
input_player16_joypad_index = "15"
and in retroarchcustom.glsp you have
shaders = "2"
shader0 = "/recalbox/share/myshaders/flip-horizontal.glsl"
wrap_mode0 = "clamp_to_border"
mipmap_input0 = "false"
alias0 = ""
float_framebuffer0 = "false"
srgb_framebuffer0 = "false"
shader1 = "/recalbox/share_init/shaders/shaders_glsl/scalehq/shaders/2xScaleHQ.glsl"
filter_linear1 = "true"
wrap_mode1 = "clamp_to_border"
mipmap_input1 = "false"
alias1 = ""
float_framebuffer1 = "false"
srgb_framebuffer1 = "false"
scale_type_x1 = "source"
scale_x1 = "2.000000"
scale_type_y1 = "source"
scale_y1 = "2.000000"
parameters = "MIRROR"
MIRROR = "1.000000"
game is running correct in PI3 Titanic 🙂
Now I copy my rom to Batocera but not the configuration files.
In Batocera, then I make the same, and reconfigurate my retroarch inside the game and specific for the game
and saved with "override game configuration.
He creates a file in folder mame2003 (diff name from RB but ok, after retroarch should be MAME2003)
but this file is hudge and had no relation to flip-horizontal.glsl and other shaders.

The mistery is that I could not find the copy of the specific retroarch config for this game. But it must be some-where, because he override correctly at the beginning of the game, and game runs with shaders.
So I downloaded the full /share and scanned all the folders for "flip-horizontal.glsl". There is in no file such word to find in the complet /share directory.
Only solution, it is hiding somewhere in the verbidden folders...
So I downloaded also the other folders over filezilla and found retroarchcustom.glslp
It was hiding into place /share_init/shaders/presets/mame2003/retroarchcustom.glslp as it should be located instead into /share/system/.config/retroarch/config/retroarchcustom.glslp with inside
alias0 = ""
alias1 = ""
feedback_pass = "0"
filter_linear1 = "true"
float_framebuffer0 = "false"
float_framebuffer1 = "false"
mipmap_input0 = "false"
mipmap_input1 = "false"
MIRROR = "1.000000"
parameters = "MIRROR"
scale_type_x1 = "source"
scale_type_y1 = "source"
scale_x1 = "2.000000"
scale_y1 = "2.000000"
shader0 = "/recalbox/share/myshaders/flip-horizontal.glsl"
shader1 = "/recalbox/share_init/shaders/shaders_glsl/scalehq/shaders/2xScaleHQ.glsl"
shaders = "2"
srgb_framebuffer0 = "false"
srgb_framebuffer1 = "false"
wrap_mode0 = "clamp_to_border"
wrap_mode1 = "clamp_to_border"
So, it should move to the share.
