        The logs shows multiple save state operations - did you try to save state once or multiple times ? Can you try disabling RetroAchievements and re-try saving the states ?
        It might be worth checking the permissions on your .state files or whether your disc is full - maybe there is not enough space to save the states.

          Thank you for taking the time looking into this. And so far turning the Retroachievements off, might have done the trick. I cannot believe it. I have been playing for over an hour and no more getting kicked out of the game. I will continue playing and post later if this has really been resolved or if I was just lucky.
          To answer your questions. I made multiple save states on the same state. I savestated, then played for two/three minutes, then made another and so forth, because like this I was always thrown out of the game in the past.
          Concerning the space issue, I have 12GB of free space, so this is not a factor.
          And my friend helped me check my .state as you suggested, but already told me that everything looks fine. It stated:
          -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1986169 Aug 29 13:35 '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/SaGa Frontier (USA).state'

            OK, it happened again. I could play for quite a while (over two hours, if I am not mistaken, and created many, many successful save states), but eventually the problem returned even with the retroachievements turned off. Here's the log :

                    OK, there's no much different to the previous log, but there's more save state operations (100 ?). Did you save state for this number of times before the crash ?

                    I know there's been a number of fixes regarding the menu widgets display - one of them including RetroAchievements, that's why I suggested in a previous post to disable it. You could try to disable menu widgets by editing retroarch.cfg in \\retropie\configs\all\ and switching from

                    menu_enable_widgets = "true"

                    to

                    menu_enable_widgets = "false"

                      Thanks again for your time, and no, this has never happened before like this. It occurred much sooner, that was why I thought it might have been fixed, because I could play for so long and make another save state and a minute later another one and another one and so forth. When this first happened some months ago during “Chrono Chross” it was just after a couple of save states. It seems so totally random. Yesterday evening I still played around with this and I made fewer save states and not in this close succession like this one time. It still happened, sometimes I managed to play half an hour, sometimes it was the very first save state, that already kicked me out.
                      I will implement your suggestion and try it out. I'll post results later. My friend will also try some games for the PS1 today. I suggested to try some Square games, since this is so far only happening on Square games. (Maybe it's like with some of the Disney games.) A couple of months ago I played through the King's Field series and I never encountered anything like this.

                        This did not take long... :( Already the second save state crashed the game back to the menu.
