      some games missing save files (but they do exist somewhere) Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Banjo Kazooie.

      If you hold your Pi out the window while driving 40+ mph, the performance is improved significantly.

      True story.

        Check this directory:

        /home/pi/.local/share/mupen64plus/save

        They'll be named after the ROM and have a ".sra" extension.

            That got it. I was able to move the saves from my 3B board on 4.3 to my 3b+ board on 4.4 stretch. no issues.

            Thank you very much.

                Is there a way to make saves appear in the roms folder?

                  I believe so. I had a similar question recently and found this. Seems like with some adjustments it’ll work.

                  I have not tried it yet though. Let me know if this works for you

                    @jdepp unfortunately this won't work since mupen64plus is not a retroarch emulator.

                      I had the same problem with the 4.4. iso. I also thought saving to rom-dir is default.

                      You can edit the path in:

                      sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg
                      
                      #Path to directory where emulator save states (snapshots) are saved. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used
                      SaveStatePath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64"
                      #Path to directory where SRAM/EEPROM data (in-game saves) are stored. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used
                      SaveSRAMPath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64"

                        Yes, I believe I did the same thing with the configs text, sorry I’m pretty new to all this. Just trying to shed some light on something I was reading about the last few days.

                        edited /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg
                        Like this:
                        #Path to directory where emulator save states (snapshots) are saved. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used
                        SaveStatePath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64"
                        #Path to directory where SRAM/EEPROM data (in-game saves) are stored. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used
                        SaveSRAMPath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64"
