      @siwobrody said in problem with saving Retropie:

      where can I find this retroarch.cfg.rp-dist

      Re-install the arcade emulator - lr-fbneo for instance - and therp-dist file will be created automatically.

        Reinstalled. Now i have this file. Changed. And still same problem.
        Maybe should I delete all my old saves and reinstall all emulators and should work ?

          It doesn't look like an emulator issue and you've already re-installed the emulators, since you upgraded to 4.7.1. Can you still try to post the entire log file from RetroArch, instead of the last lines, like you did so far ?
          You can copy the file with

          cp /dev/shm/runcommand.log /home/pi/RetroPie/roms
          

          and then get the log file from your PC, at \\retropie\roms\runcommand.log.

              Nothing new in the logs, it looks like RetroArch tries to save the state, but there's no explicit error. You don't see the save state file - 1942.state5 - on disc ? Can you still copy ROMs on the disc, without any errors ?

              Try to run a disc check on your hard disc from your PC, just to make sure that the disc is ok and there's no filesystem corruption on it.

                I tried to copy roms and there were no problems. But maybe because of my traveling and taking PI with me maybe something 'broke' and I will have to do everything all over again ... it just hurts the whole library full of everything and hours spent waiting;)

                    I think it's referring to set

                    savestate_auto_index = true
                    

                    in the retroarch.cfg file.

                      i have no more ideas. It looks like retroarch have a problem to save on usb drv. Maybe i have something wrong inside, should i change something? Maybe retroarch try to save on sd card i dont know...how it works.

                        @siwobrody Try moving your old save states to a different directory

                            @siwobrody Me neither. As a last check you can try setting the savestate_directory key in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg to something else, for example savestate_directory = "/home/pi".
