        Ah yes sorry, as far as I can tell they are not being created. Yes I am using the Start+Select combo to exit games.

            If it's the in-game save feature, then could it be possible that the folder does not have the correct CHD permissions and is not writable by the emulator? I ran into that once with a similar issue.

              Oh that's interesting! I will look into. Do you remember how you resolved the issue?

                Should just do select+L to save and select+R to load instead cause for nes/snes/gb/gba i have been using save states instead.

                  (I believe) retropie-setup > configuration/tools

                      Let us know what you find. Thanks for the tip @dankcushions , I did not know there was a tool for that, I just did it the old fashioned way.
