problem with saving Retropie

[mitu]

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;)

ifound also sth like that:

it could work ? but how to change ?

I think it's referring to set

savestate_auto_index = true

in the retroarch.cfg file.

eh, still nothing :(
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]

@saccublenda i deleted all old save states and still same. I have no ideas..

[saccublenda]

@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".
