## Configuring

The default configuration is defined in `config.def.h`.
It is not recommended to change this unless you know what you're doing.
These can later be tweaked by using a config file.
A sample configuration file is installed to /etc/retroarch.cfg. This is the system-wide config file.

Users only need to configure a certain option if the desired value deviates from the value defined in config.def.h.
To configure joypads, use the built-in menu or the `retroarch-joyconfig` command-line tool.
