@mitu and @top-specci FYI, if you want your games to always load at a predefined area (Bypassing a long intro, etc)
Create a save state through Retroarch like normal, find that saved state "yourgame.state" and add ".auto" to the end of it
Ensure that you have savestate_auto_save = "false" and savestate_auto_load = "true" in your /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file (Or specific config file of your choice)
This will give you the flexibility you need, without worrying that you will override that default save state to load your game by.
