      When i play fba roms i get an *.nv file along with my rom (saved in the same path). I use lr-fba-net core with latest retropie version.

      Also, when i play neo-geo roms i get an *.nv and *fs file along with my roms.

      Is there any way to store these extensions (*.nv for fba and *.nv and *.fs for neogeo) in an other place?

      Thanks:)

        @Haris1977 I like to know this to.
        After following @Lodan-Zark explanation on how to set a custom .srm/.state here

        The explanation don't mention *.nv or *.fs files. There is also nothing in the Retroarch.cfg file that i have found that mentions where and how you can change the directory for these files.

        Right now i have every libretro emulator setup to save files to my usb drive with custom folders for every system

          i think hopefully it should be the same steps. .nv and .fs are save files, so they should be saved to whatever your savefile_directory is set to.

            Yes, fba should use save directories if they were set up.

              @barbudreadmon It's Work for Mame2003 and NeoGeo (Using FBA) bur for normal Fba it don't seam to work.

              This is my config files

              NeoGeo using FBA

              # Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line
              
              input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/"
              
              savefile_directory = "/media/usbstorage/saves/neogeo"
              savestate_directory = "/media/usbstorage/saves/neogeo"
              
              #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"
              

              mame-libretro

              # Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line
              
              input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/"
              
              savefile_directory = "/media/usbstorage/saves/mame-libretro"
              savestate_directory = "/media/usbstorage/saves/mame-libretro"
              
              #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"
              

              Fba

              # Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line
              
              input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/fba/"
              
              savefile_directory = "/media/usbstorage/saves/fba"
              savestate_directory = "/media/usbstorage/saves/fba"
              
              #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"
              

              I'm i missing something when it comes to Final Burn Alpha?

                Well thanks 4 your help:)

                I decided to create save folders (srm and sstate) for both fba and neogeo emulators inside /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fba and /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeo folders.

                And then I edit each retroarch.cfg core individually alike:

                FBA

                savefile_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fba/srm"
                savestate_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fba/sstate"

                NEOGEO

                savefile_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeo/srm"
                savestate_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeo/sstate"

                It works nice:)

                  @Rion said in FBA and NEOGEO *.nv and *.fs files question:

                  bur for normal Fba

                  What's "normal Fba" ? You mean fba with non-neogeo games ?

                    Yes sorry i should have clarified that.

                    I'm using
                    https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha

                    I just moved out all the NeoGeo games from the Fba folder and put them in neogeo. Then using fba to run them.
                    So when doing that the *.fs and *.nv files wind up in the correct folder specified in the Retroarch.cfg file for neogeo.

                    Any insight @barbudreadmon on what could be the problem?
