      Hi guys, i am really new to RetroPie and installed The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past (Germany) on my Raspberry Pi 3. After playing some time, i saved the game state, but after restarting the game, my state was gone...

      After searching the web for a solution, i stumbled on an article saying there are some shortcuts/hotkeys to load or save the actual game state. So far so good :-)

      I started a new try and played a few minutes. I pressed SELECT+R and there was a "Saved state ..." message in the bottem left corner. Sounds great! After playing a few more minutes, i tried to save the game a second time but after hitting only SELECT, the previously saved game state was loaded. I can't save a new game state, because it already loads the previous game state, if I hit SELECT.

      There are some articles telling me, I need to reconfigure these shortcuts/hotkeys. But this feels a bit to advanced for me :-) Can someone please help?

        Hmm, maybe my controller configuration is important for this question:

        input_device = "Logitech Gamepad F710"
        input_driver = "udev"
        input_r_y_plus_axis = "+4"
        input_l3_btn = "9"
        input_r_x_minus_axis = "-3"
        input_r_axis = "+2"
        input_save_state_axis = "+2"
        input_l2_btn = "4"
        input_start_btn = "7"
        input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"
        input_l_y_minus_btn = "h0leftanalogup"
        input_l_axis = "-2"
        input_load_state_axis = "-2"
        input_up_axis = "-1"
        input_r_y_minus_axis = "-4"
        input_a_btn = "0"
        input_b_btn = "1"
        input_reset_btn = "1"
        input_down_axis = "+1"
        input_r2_btn = "5"
        input_l_x_plus_btn = "h0leftanalogright"
        input_l_y_plus_btn = "h0leftanalogdown"
        input_r3_btn = "10"
        input_right_axis = "+0"
        input_state_slot_increase_axis = "+0"
        input_x_btn = "2"
        input_menu_toggle_btn = "2"
        input_select_btn = "6"
        input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"
        input_l_x_minus_btn = "h0leftanalogleft"
        input_y_btn = "3"
        input_left_axis = "-0"
        input_state_slot_decrease_axis = "-0"
        input_r_x_plus_axis = "+3"

          Not sure why it is doing it but you could change the load state and save state from +2, -2 to nul and then press select and x to go into the retroarch menu and go into quick menu (the very first menu option) and save state and load state from there. That is how i have all my controllers set up. I nul all extra options except the menu cause i hate accidently doing stuff

            Yes, your hotkey setup has that you hold down select to enable the hotkeys

            input_select_btn = "6"
            input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"
            

            And has your right and left axis to save and load

            input_r_axis = "+2"
            input_save_state_axis = "+2"
            input_l_axis = "-2"
            input_load_state_axis = "-2"
            

            This may also help:

              Those video's were quite helpful, the interval save is a nice feature, thanks Floob. :)
