@gizmo90 said in Apparently this post by floob is really useful for understanding the save setting of retroarch is are confusing as hell. Does anyone know if the image is available anywhere else?:

but each time the title is loaded I get the following in yellow text at the bottom of the screen.
Failed saving config to "apt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg"

This looks like a permissions problem. There is also a recent issue with RetroArch not saving the configuration (reported here), which should be solved if you update the RetroArch packag from source.

Override saving might also be an issue with permissions - check the permissions on the following folders:

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch /opt/retropie/configs/snes
