    @Tackskull I was having a similar problem and deleted the .state file in question and it ended up working again. Not sure if that will work for you or not but with the information given that's all I got for you.

    Is it for all games or just one game in particular? Is it for all emulators or just one?

    EDIT: unfortunately I don't remember if I could load the state file in question.

        Get a verbose log for the emulator - as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#launch-with-verbose-logging - and post it on pastebin.com to take a look.

        Also, add some details about your installation, as described in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

            I don't see any attempt to save state in your log, but there's another error:

            ...
            
            [INFO] Saving RAM type #0 to "/home/tackskull/RetroPie/roms/snes/1 Rom hacks da giocare/Luigi's Misadventures 2 - Leviathan's Mania.srm".
            [ERROR] Failed to save SRAM.
            [WARN] Attempting to recover ...
            ...
            

            which might indicate a permission issue.

            Does your user have write permission to the ROM's folder ?

                Open the /home/tackskull/RetroPie/roms/snes/1 Rom hacks da giocare/ folder as tackskull user and see if you can create a file there.

                    Can you should a screenshot with the permissions on the folder where the ROM is located ?

                      @Tackskull said in Can't save state, I can only load state:

                      AMD® A10-9620p radeon r5, 10 compute cores 4c+6g × 4

                      If I try to change Tackskull access files from "access files" to "create files and delete", the system get me back to "files acce", it seems I can't change Tackskull's permision to "create files and delete"

                      Edit: just for let you know I am running Ubuntu 20.1

                        I see you're running the ROM from an external disc, did you mount this manually or using the automated method ?
