### Configuration Folders
**CFG**
Where different types of configurations are stored
`~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/config/mame/cfg`
This is where the `default.cfg` is and also any custom game configs are saved.
**INI**
`~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/config/mame/ini`
This is where `ui.ini` and `mame.ini` files are located. But they should not be touched unless you know what you are doing.
You can always reset via the configurator if you mess things up.
**INP**
`~/.var/app/net.retrodeck.retrodeck/config/mame/inp`
