Description

First and foremost consider this:

  • Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
  • This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented

Description

As said in the title. Good option for the 'game has modified setting' is in the playlist, and what setting is modified in the core options. Ways to do it range from symbols (like the symbol for the downloaded core in the online downloader) to colors.

Research direction

Start by locating the GUI entry points for playlist items and core options, since the issue identifies those as the places for the indicator and setting details. Done means the GUI signals that a game has a modified per-game setting and shows which setting is modified, using an agreed visual treatment such as a symbol or color.
