Oh... unsupportable... I get what you mean now! (smacks head with hand)

Yes.. I've reached that point that I'm comfortable with the file structure after screwing it up many times... and begging for help. LOL.

So yes, I agree.. that part should be optional.

Ignore all that.. Fixed.. dophin bar reset to mode 3 😭😭.. I'm an idiot

Everything is back working.. Thank you so much for the help

Now on to missing mixer element issue 😂

I'll make a contribution to project for your help :)

@mikes82

I make sure to keep a backup of my build as an image file incase my kids mess anything up.

I also disable the launch menu for the games in options run command.

And for mame I map the mame config menu to the keyboard as they don't use the keyboard.

And using kids mode.

I ended up making a seperate kids only setup and getting my kids a pi of their own and backed up their setup so if they do somehow manage to break it I can just rewrite the image.

They didn't want much content just some of their favourites and kodi
Sim

So, i am not sure what happened. Like i said i made a hotkey for the fast forward button in the retroarch settings. After running games from other systems i was running into all kinds of problems, and had to restore my image, thanks for the input.

Yes. Thanks for nothing.

@mitu said in Suddenly my save states dosent work.:

Save states are not always portable between emulators, so a save state from lr-gambatte might not worth with lr-mgba . Is the emulator version the same as the one you used for the save states ? Sometimes an upgrade of the emulator makes it incompatible with previous versions' save states.

Hmm maybe it's because of an emulator upgrade. I played the game for a couple of month before I did the backup. And after I think I did an update. Thanks, I did not know it might cause a problem. At least the "normal" save file works.

@lesk ... and it's more likely that a battery savestate gamename.srm will work more reliable and may be portable to other emulators ;)

Thanks, yeah the normal game save seems to work just fine ^^

@sjlurker2018 No you type commands into the terminal or command line interface (CLI)

You can enter a terminal

Exit EmulationStation via Main Menu > Quit > Quit EmulationStation
1.1 You see now the command prompt
1.2 Enter commands via keyboard via SSH and a second PC
2.1 you enter also a terminal but this is remote
2.2 you need a second PC/Tablet.... for this

Follow the instructions I've posted you. Then we can help you further.
