      @yfzdude I finally did find it; at least in my RetroPie, it's actually:

      Quick Menu -> Overrides -> Save Core Override
      Quick Menu -> Overrides -> Save Game Override

      Writing this primarily for the benefit of future readers.

      Thanks for the help on this. I don't know how I missed it; I would have expected save options on the Main Menu, but I'm sure there's a method to the madness.

      Can you add more info about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?
      Check the permissions on the Emulationstation's configuration folder - $HOME/.emulationstation - it might be a permissions problem. If you change any of the settings of Emulationstation, like the Scraper source, does it get saved between restarts ?

      With that new angle it looks like they only split the button from the player 1 control panel to the side button for pinball.

      So that shouldn’t cause any problems. Hope you get it sorted out.

      @caver01 yes i do see that the emulator choice is a huge factor, but there are a few games I can only get to work in mame2016 for example and that one throws the keyboard tab on the controller. very frustrating. i cant seem to change that in retroarch.

      @nsantalu Good read. Thanks for posting all of the steps and links, as it helps others see first hand exactly what you are building.

      The evolution you describe seems to be common among DIY arcade builders over the past decade or so (pre-raspberry pi). While plenty of users buy the X-Arcade solutions and stop there, it can be a gateway to other considerations leading to more controls, more customization, and generally, a much deeper understanding of the hardware and software. I too am curious about your answer to @chigundo's question: knowing what you do now, if you were going to do it over again, would you follow the same path or go completely scratch built?

      The one fly in the ointment of an X-Arcade story is the image which they provide for download as the suggested start. By downloading their image and continuing your build from there, customers are in an unsupportable situation--we have no idea what configuration changes X-Arcade may have made to the image they are providing. Moreover, they are in violation of several license agreements which is a legal problem. Finally, the recommendation against full updates is sure to eventually cause support issues. This is unfortunate because it is not difficult to start with the official RetroPie image and install the relevant drivers after that.

      The silver lining is that, if necessary, X-Arcade owners can switch to an official RetroPie image at any time and they have a decent bundle of arcade controls that are likely going to last a long time.

      I am anxious to find out what you think of the TurboTwist 2 spinner. I have two of them in my cabinet.

      @jono Thanks for reaching out. I've had some time in the last week or so to tinker with settings. I will definitely try what you've outlined and get back to this thread. BTW- I've read that the latest update to RetroPie breaks the tank stick config. Has anyone heard this as well?

      I just found that a lot of others are having the issues with rom sets - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5207/some-games-load-some-don-t-nes-fceumm-core/34 - going to try lr-nestopia and potentially zip with zero compression to see if that helps.

      Not sure if this is the same issue with the controller not working though.
