retroarch: Set the path of a configuration file.
$ retroarch --config=${path-to-config_file}
try on your machine

The retroarch command is used to launch the RetroArch application, which is a popular front-end for various video game console emulators and game engines. When using the retroarch command, you can specify additional options and arguments.

In this case, the --config=${path-to-config_file} option is being used. This option allows you to specify the path to a configuration file that RetroArch should use when launching. A configuration file contains settings and preferences for RetroArch, such as video/audio settings, input bindings, and other customization options.

To use this command, you need to replace ${path-to-config_file} with the actual path to your desired configuration file. For example, if your configuration file is located at /home/user/retroarch.cfg, the command would be:

retroarch --config=/home/user/retroarch.cfg

By specifying a custom configuration file, you can have different setups or preferences for different instances of RetroArch, allowing you to have specific settings for different consoles or games.
