Virtual Boy - lr-beetle-vb can't quick save
-
Hi. Thought I'd give this a try. Works ok but can't quick save or quick load. When I try either (select and R or select and L) I get forced back into emulation station. I've checked the roms folder and there are save states being made but they're useless. I've tried this on 2 separate builds of retropie 4.0.2.
Save states work fine in every other emulator.
Is there something else I should have modified after installing the virtual boy emulator? I can't seem to find any answers anywhere. -
@gaavoid disable rewind

Thanks. Can you tell me how to do this? Rewind is already disabled in /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/retroarch.cfg -
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg reads
Enable rewinding. This will take a performance hit when playing, so it is disabled by default.
rewind_enable = "false"Rewinding buffer size in megabytes. Bigger rewinding buffer means you can rewind longer.
The buffer should be approx. 20MB per minute of buffer time.
rewind_buffer_size = "10"Rewind granularity. When rewinding defined number of frames, you can rewind several frames at a time, increasing the rewinding speed.
rewind_granularity = "2but /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/retroarch.cfg reads

rewind_granularity = 1They both say false or ("false"), but why are they different (buffer size/granularity)? This is a fresh install, so I haven't changed anything.
I've also tried adding rewind_enable = false to /opt/retopie/configs/virtualboy/retroarch.cfg and it still crashes on quick save.
Where am I going wrong?

Sorry for the triple post. Is there a specific config file for each emulator that has its own settings for retroarch that overrides the overall settings? I'm struggling to find it, if so.
And if there is, it must have enable rewind set to true which is overriding my retroarch setting. -
If anyone is interested or has this problem in the future. I fixed this by updating lr-beetle-vb from source rather than from binary. Quick save is now working perfectly.

I have updated the emulator binary.
