How to disable save state for retroarch

[Unknown]

When playing games with a snes controller the "save state" option can get in the way when you need the "right shoulder" button is there a way to turn it off? I'm using the standered retropie image for raspberry pi4, 7.4.

I forgot to mention I’m using an overclock too.

@unknown you can turn it off per-game, per-system or globally.

per-game:
~/RetroPie/roms/[system]/sonic1.smd.cfg (or whatever the game filename is called)

per-system:
/opt/retropie/configs/[system]/retroarch.cfg

globally:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

edit (or create the file, in the case of per-game), and add (or edit, if it already exists) the line

input_save_state_btn = "nul"

i think that should work...

@dankcushions Where would you recommend putting that line of code in the default global retroarch config?

[dankcushions]

@unknown personally i use save states all the time so i wouldn't, but it's up to you! I guess if you needed to do a save state for a particular reason you could still access it via the quick menu (hotkey + X)

also, i would guess most of the systems i emulate don't use the shoulder buttons anyway, so i wouldn't see the point of disabling it for them.

@dankcushions It worked, Thank you very much. Would you consider adding this information to the Docs?
