              @sleve_mcdichael Just always says core does not support save states. Don't know what the deal is.

                @140714071407 so we have circled back around to:

                • what core are you using, and

                • what version is it, and

                • we need to see the verbose log.

                Go to start a game, and when it says press a button to open the launch menu, do that. Pick "launch with verbose logging." Launch the game and try to save a state, then exit the game with the assigned hotkey combination.

                You said you have PuTTY; use it to get the file /dev/shm/runcommand.log from the Pi and copy that file to your PC. The file contains only text. Upload its contents to https://pastebin.com, and share the link here.

                    Okay this is what I got. I just screen captured. Not sure how to use the other thing.

                    I'm using lr-pcsx-rearmed but I'm not sure what version it is. I updated it.

                        @140714071407 Do you have issues with other emulators ? Try to reinstall RetroArch and lr-pcsxreamred .

                        My English isn't at a good level.

                          @140714071407 said in core do not support save states with lr-pcsx_rearmed:

                          @sleve_mcdichael Before anything is the core the emulator?

                          Basically. RetroArch is a front-end for the LibRetro cores. A libretro core is a modified emulator, that is made to work within the framework of a libretro front-end such as RetroArch. The version of the core will correspond with the version of the emulator it was built from.

                          pcsx-rearmed is an emulator.

                          lr-pcsx-rearmed is this emulator, modified as a libretro core for use with RetroArch or another FE.

                          I can see from your screenshot you have RetroArch v1.15.0 and pcsx-rearmed v1.9. Using these same versions, I am unable to reproduce the error -- saving and loading states works for me with Spyro the Dragon (USA):

                          [INFO] RetroArch 1.15.0 (Git 1e5b1ba)
...

                          Maybe someone else has an idea. In the meantime can you try to post the entire log? If you can't copy the file to your PC for easy handling, what I do is print it to the screen with cat (cat /dev/shm/runcommand.log'), then copy-paste from my SSH client (I'm not familiar with PuTTY, I use Termius on my smartphone) into wherever I can use it from (notes app on my phone).

                            Update the RetroPie-Setup script first (it's in the main menu), then update the RetroArch package again. This should solve the error.

                              @mitu This has solved it. Thank you very much.

                              I also have a problem with RetroPie-Extra. I got it to work before (I reset my Pi) but now I can't seem to get it to work.

                              11111.png

                              Am I missing something here? Did I miss a step? I'm trying to add duckstation or lr-swanstation to my retropie. The extras do not show up when I restarted my pi.

                                @140714071407 it looks like you've got the old ZeroJay version of RetroPie-Extra. Currently it is maintained by ExarKunIv at https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra
