@BuZz but if I use a new image I lose my save states

use the instructions above / or just copy your roms folder off over the network - also see https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/updating-retropie#making-a-backup-option-1

did you restore your save states by extracting the retropie_game_saves.tar.xz file after reinstalling RetroPie?
tar -C /home/pi -xJf retropie_game_saves.tar.xz

@backstander yes but maybe my savestates are in another direktory do you know how I can check this or change this?

@lkmaster
You can search for files by using something like this sudo find / -name "<filename>” Most of the save state files end is ".state" so I think you could do something like sudo find / -name ".state". I don't use the find function that much.

I personally like to use Locate instead!
To install Locate type:
sudo apt-get install locate

To update the database that Locate uses to find files and directories:
sudo updatedb

Now all you have to do is type this to find something:
locate <filename>

Example: to look for those ".state" files you would do this:
locate .state

The only downside to Locate is that you sometimes have to update the database (sudo updatedb) to make sure you get all the newest files in your search. Updating will also remove newly deleted files.
