Description
Hi!
It would be nice, if retroarch.cfg and retroarch-core-options.cfg could be placed in the data storage (/data/data/com.retroarch), instead of the external storage. Resources like assets are already stored there. So retroarch could be backed up easier with backup-tools like oandbackup.

Research direction
Locate the Android handling for retroarch.cfg and retroarch-core-options.cfg, then compare it with where assets are currently stored. Done means both configuration files are placed in /data/data/com.retroarch rather than external storage, allowing them to be included by backup tools such as oandbackup.
