In game saves not working
-
Hello,
My in game saves are not working. I understand the SRAM files are created when the game is exited using the START+SELECT buttons. I have tested this on SNES, NES, and GBA emulators. I have tried reinstalling retropie from scratch, formatting the SD card. I didn't have this problem with retropie-3.0. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm using: Pi 2 and running retropie-4.2 installed on a 32GB microSD card.
Thanks very much!!!

can u be more specific? as to not working, like are they saving nowhere or not saving? are u pressing the right buttons?
-
Ah yes sorry, as far as I can tell they are not being created. Yes I am using the Start+Select combo to exit games.
-
Bump?
-
If it's the in-game save feature, then could it be possible that the folder does not have the correct CHD permissions and is not writable by the emulator? I ran into that once with a similar issue.
-
Oh that's interesting! I will look into. Do you remember how you resolved the issue?

Should just do select+L to save and select+R to load instead cause for nes/snes/gb/gba i have been using save states instead.

try
Reset ownership/permissions of /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/via
(I believe) retropie-setup > configuration/tools -
Great! I'll give that a shot and report back. Thanks!

Let us know what you find. Thanks for the tip @dankcushions , I did not know there was a tool for that, I just did it the old fashioned way.
