        Modify the controller's configuration file from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads and disable/remove the lines for save/load states. Note that if you re-configure your controller in EmulationStation, the configuration file(s) will be re-created and the lines will be added back.

            Just for interest: what about activating the "hardcore-mode" in Retroachievments?
            AFAIR this also disables the save and load-options.
            Are these options also reactivated if you remap your inputs?

              Finally i get rid of save/load state functionality. i change the following:

              1- This is for the gamepad.

              From/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads
              i remove the lines for save/load states.

              2- This is for the keybord.

              From /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
              i change the lines from

              # input_save_state = f2
              # input_load_state = f4
              to
              input_save_state = f22
              input_load_state = f44

              3- This is to hide save/load state option, in rgui quick menu.

              i add to the/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

              the line quick_menu_show_save_load_state = "false"
