        I just purchased this game unit off of craigslist

        that is the problem, your best bet is to back up your roms and start fresh with an official retropie image.

            @2L8ULUZ Launch any Mega Drive/Genesis game and press a button on your game pad at the "grey rectangle" before the game launches (you have to be fast) this is the run command menu. There you will be able to change emulators and stuff

                Its lr-picodrive.
                Never played with the options of this emulator within retroarch.
                Maybe you can deactivate in-game-saving similar to "highscore-saving on/off" in lr-fba?

                  There is an option for autosasving and loading i nRetroArch, go to Settings, savings, enable the las two options, save and try that.

                    no, it's not supported. i recommend starting from here and reinstalling - then we can support: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

                        @2L8ULUZ no problem! basically there’s two issues - that it breaks the licenses: https://retropie.org.uk/about/legal/ and point 5) here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

                        you can’t do much about the former, now, but if you reinstall we can at least support you.

                              @2L8ULUZ I think @dankcushions explained very well earlier why. We don't support scammers that sell RetroPie and their images. In short, if you need support, then use the image that RetroPie project provides - as other have already said.
