Config file

The config file is the main configuration file of the Core software service.

Where it's located depends on the platform on which the service is running. On MiSTer, it's located in the /media/fat/zaparoo folder or zaparoo folder in the root of the SD card. The file is always called config.toml on every platform.

The config file is written in TOML. Be aware that although comments are supported in TOML, they will be lost if Core makes updates to this file (e.g. when adjusting settings using the Zaparoo App) and should be avoided for important information.

Any changes made to the config file while the Core service is running require the service to be restarted before changes will take effect.
