      My pi 4 isn't overclocked - what settings would you suggest I use for that please?

      I don't have any recommendation, as i said i don't own a pi4. I'm just thinking that garbled sound can be the result of performance issues, and gpgx appears to be surprisingly demanding. So i'm wondering if an overclock could improve things.

      @uncledisgusting said in lr-genesis-plus-gx master system sound garbled after restoring save states - all games affected:

      should they be enabled?

      Probably not, they are features that will lessen performances.

      On a sidenote, savestates with the nuked setting appear to be broken to me : i just tried loading my savestates from yesterday and the core crashed, after some more tests it appears the core can't load savestates from another session on my setup (it works just fine if i set it to MAME). That might be related to your issue. Maybe report this to the author, and/or change setting/emulator.

      There are no performance issues whatsoever playing a game with nuked sound in the initial session

      Your sidenote issue IS the issue that I have been concerned with the whole time. Thank you for corroborating that. I think this emulator is the only one with nuked fm sound.

      @mitu So sorry for the delay...busy week and didn't have much time to play. Just tried my ps3 controller and yep, you're right it's simply the controller itself.

      Thanks everyone.

      @mitu That did it! The file was in autoconfig called Arduino LLC Arduino Leonardo.cfg

      Now when I push Select and Trigger nothing happens. Phew! :)

      @YFZdude said in Save States:

      The SELECT button is it's own button. The HOTKEY can be a different button. You may not have any games that use SELECT. What matters is that you have a mapped HOTKEY button. To save states it should be HOTKEY + R1.

      Yeah, the hotkey +R1 is working fine now. Silly me. I understand now. Thanks for your explanation though. Now for some retro gaming fun!

      Finally i get rid of save/load state functionality. i change the following:

      1- This is for the gamepad.

      From/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads
      i remove the lines for save/load states.

      2- This is for the keybord.

      From /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
      i change the lines from

      # input_save_state = f2
      # input_load_state = f4
      to
      input_save_state = f22
      input_load_state = f44

      3- This is to hide save/load state option, in rgui quick menu.

      i add to the/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

      the line quick_menu_show_save_load_state = "false"

      sirhenrythe5th

      Got it solved.
      I outsourced the config-files to "/home/AMIBERRY Inputs".
      Now everything works, i learned that retroarch seems to browse also the subfolders within "opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconfig/" ;)

      @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.

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

      @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 ^^

      @mitu Thx for this. would you happen to know if I define a location of a folder that does not exist, will it create said folder for me or return an error instead?

      Hi, I asked the developer of lr-caprice32 if he would add save states to the core and he has now kindly implemented them.

      https://github.com/libretro/libretro-cap32/commit/8dc1fe206abc480cfd55c419a4f24f227495488b

      You can enable this functionality by running the "update from source" option for lr-caprice32 under RetroPie setup.

      @vahnxdean Login via SSH or get to a command prompt by closing Emulationstation. Open the File Manager (mc) and browse the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms folder, which will contain your ROMs and save states - under each system (nes, snes, etcc).
      Copy/move the saves (they have the .stateX extension, where X is a number) to a folder inside /home/pi/ - let's say /home/pi/saves.
      Configure the save states folder to be /home/pi/saves. This way the save folder will be on the SD card, but your ROMs will still stay on the USB HDD.
      The reason you're not seeing the ROMs from the SD card is that Windows doesn't know how to read the Linux partition on it, and you're only looking at the /boot partition, which only contains the bare minimum to start the RPI system (kernel files and device tree files).

      @xdrak Sometimes you can't see for looking!
      It's a pretty obscure emulator, not sure a lot of people on here use it. I use it for DRAGON32.
