warning: updating redream deletes vmu saves

rejesterd

When I update the retropie setup script then update redream, the vmu files under /opt/retropie/emulators/redream/ are deleted. Should this be reported to the folks at retropie or redream?

@rejesterd Are you sure you didn't remove the emulator ? The RetroPie script doesn't delete anything during installation.

@mitu My exact steps are:

@mitu it removes the install folder. I can disable that for this emulator though. Or symlink the vmu data.

Oh, yeah, forgot it's using $md_inst for user data.
