- Exit RetroArch (yes, sadly :p)
## Config file
By default, RetroArch looks for a config in various places depending on OS:
- **Linux/OSX**: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/retroarch/retroarch.cfg`, then `~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg`, then `~/.retroarch.cfg`, and finally, as a fallback, `/etc/retroarch.cfg`.
- **Windows**: `retroarch.cfg` in same folder as `retroarch.exe`, then `%APPDATA%\retroarch.cfg`.
To override this, use `retroarch --config customconfig.cfg`. If you have some special options you want to store in separate config files you can use `retroarch --config baseconfig.cfg --appendconfig specialconfig.cfg`. See man-page and/or `--help` for detail.
### Warning
While you are changing settings in runtime, they are not saved to disk afterwards on PC.
By design, the config file is considered immutable as it is likely maintained by the user.

and should not be overwritten behind the users back. This is not the case on consoles however, where
looking at the config manually isn't really an option for most users.
