      @goobatroopa now my save game has disappeared. How very odd indeed.

        @goobatroopa Smells like a SD card going bad.

          @mitu I was afraid you were going to say that. Think I'll try a fresh image and see if I get the same with a different card. I'll keep you updated but most likely sometime later this week. Thanks for your help so far.

            @mitu I have checked all my N64 games, all save data lost. Checked on other systems, all save data intact.

              As all my other saves appear to be ok, could it be that the save is in the mupen64plus folder and not the lr-mupen64plus location and it's not being found because I've changed the emulator, or is that not a thing?

                @goobatroopa standalone mupen64plus saves are not in the ROMs directory by default. I believe they are in a hidden folder. I'll have to check next time I'm near my pi.

                  @quicksilver yeah that is my thought. So with that in mind, if I change the emulator, will it not be able to read my save game if it's in the old emulator folder?

                    @goobatroopa I don't think the saves are compatible between the standalone and the libretro core.

                      @mitu ah. In that case, I don't think I have a SD card issue. Which would make sense as to why nothing else is lost.

                        If the files you 'lost' weren't there in the first place, then probably yes.

                          @goobatroopa there is a .sra to .srm convertor tool I have used with good results if you want to convert standalone mupen64plus saves to libretro mupen64plus saves.

                              I think the .sra saves are in ./local/mupen64plus/saves
