        @groff16 Then check your input mapping again, maybe you mistakingly mapped some other keys for L and R. Does saving/loading work for other systems (NES/SNES/Arcade) ?

          @mitu I did that while waiting on your responds ... Save/load don't work for none of the systems them ... I have the NES SNES GEN Gameboy Gameboy Advance and a few other emulators and it's not working.

            @groff16 Are you sure the R and L should buttons are working ? I have the exact controller and have absolutely no problems with 4.4 for load/save states.

              @mitu it working fine ... I just test SF2 for the superNES and it works so it have to be something with my hotkeys config ... I don't know why this is happening now. this is the first time this is happening since i am using the different versions.

                Did you configure hardcore mode for retroachievements ?
                (Worth to ask, just in case) :p

                    I have the same problem. I haven't changed any settings or re-mapped any commands. It was working fine, I installed 4.4 last night, and, now, hotkeys no longer work (including save states).

                      According to rour RA profile you were in hardcore mode yesterday during this thread discussion, so it could have been the issue...
                      Praise my mighty stalker skills ! :)
                      And BTW congrats, that's an impressive RA collection.

                      @Montecore
                      Obviously not the same issue, op had hotkeys working except for save states.
                      Just reconfigure your controller and be careful about the last configuration entry (new line for hotkey). You can open a new thread if you still encounter the issue after that, but there are plenty similar threads here to read first before doing so.

                          Ok guys i think i found out what happen i think i put the code below here in the wrong place for RA. Like it mess up the config file somewhere.
                          cheevos_username = ""
                          cheevos_password = ""
                          cheevos_enable = "true"

                          So i did over a fresh install just now and set the RA properly and everything works now guys.

                          Thanks for the help from everyone @mitu and @Sano.

                          This is solved

                            All you have to do is go to the end and you will see this code below. Put in your RA username and password save and you are good to work it works fine.

                            cheevos_username = "groff16"
                            cheevos_password = "gankplankgroff81"
                            cheevos_enable = "true"

                            Here are my back up config code
