@mitu said in problem with configuration file saving... (Treaded video always turned on issue):

Your RetroArch version is not up-to-date, did you only update the RetroPie-Setup script without updating the packages ?

Maybe-maybe....

Please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@windg Thank you, that worked!

@sleve_mcdichael said in In-game saves in Zelda 1&2 NES (lr-fceumm):

Can you clarify? You're using the (Rev 1) rom and you're seeing saves persist? Here is the rom that I am using (md5sum):

No, the ROM file I was using for test doesn't have the Rev 1:

md5sum Legend\ of\ Zelda\,\ The\ \(USA\).zip ba3737710651036dbb3b28b88b9dfbb0 Legend of Zelda, The (USA).zip

@mitu While speaking with NETPLAY, an instant text/voice messaging application for the community (Teamspeak / Mumble / or better: Discord) would be great to find mate to do netplay games. Like i posted into another thread : link text

@omission229 No, sorry, otherwise I would have said so.

I guess that works too but I went into the actual Core config files, I cant remember the exact path, opt/retropie/configs.

@mitu said in N64 emulator doesn't save any settings:

you need to save a game or core override after you've changed the parameters

Can you please tell me where I can find the Overrides-menu? Or which solution would be the best?
When I switch the "Use Global Core Options File" to OFF, then I still the the same problem.

@mitu Yeah, I meant just for the cases that I can't control. I'll be shutting it down properly from now on. Thanks for the help!

I tried to reproduce the issue, but I don't seem to be able to. Using the same emulator (lr-mgba), with or without the BIOS, the save file is loaded correctly.
Can you check if you have enough space available on your USB ? The save file (in-game saves) is stored next to the ROM, it's named <ROMNAME>.srm, if you don't see one, then the emulator cannot save the file.

How are you mounting the USB stick to the system ? Did you follow the docs or did you do it manually ?

@Zangdaarr said in Roms are on a network folder, but writing seems to fail:

That seems way more interesting, thank you I will investigate rsync, is there anyway for a sync job to simply wait and put the sync in queue if the connection is severed ?

rsync is just a synchronization/copy command, it's not a service that keeps tab on files. You can run it periodically and it will synch only the changed data, keeping transfers to a minimum. If your backup location is not available, it will fail.

Spoken for AdvanceMame: the parent-rom of the MAME0.106-Set is not working, but one of the clones does.

Thanks for the response. I looked at the controller config and my hotkey button wasn't set to select. Once I did that everything worked as expected.

Hi there,

So I left my Raspberry Pi alone for a month and when I came back to it I started fresh. I think the problem was with my HDD.

So I think my HDD was previously formatted to exFAT file system. The only options I had were NTFS and exFAT. I found this person on youtube called Eta Prime and his videos were a big help, especially this one:

It explains how to format your drive to FAT32

I flashed the image to the SD again and formatted my HDD to FAT32 and added the "retropie-mount" folder as shown in the video.

Then I searched some more videos on his channel of which bios were needed for the different emulators and how to add the games.

I found out how to "unECM" the ECM files from my PlayStation games and I'd say at the moment about 90% of the games work and I can save using the save state feature + via the in-game save mechanics.

The emulators I have used up to this point are: GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, N64, Megadrive and PS1.

So yes, I'd say the problems are now solved. Maybe one more thing I'd like to try is activating my RetroAchievements account so I can earn achievements on some of the games. I got it to work previously, but I don't know how anymore because it's been over a month ago.

Big shout out to Eta Prime. Check his channel here:

Thanks for the replies and the suggestions.

As it seems, this capability is not difficult coding-wise, it just hasn't been implemented (yet).
Until then, the easiest way still seems to load disks from the menu, it just takes a few seconds anyway :-)
