@zmb187 said in want to save just save files:
thing is we got new internet recently so the network was not set yet....I did a amateur move and deleted the button to get into options in config....so would need to use my PC to pull off the saves if that would work.......
You just need for the PI and the PC to be connected to the same network, you don't necessarily need Internet connection. You can access the ROM folders from the PC using file shares or WinSCP (if you enabled SSH). Look at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/.
