      Running Retropie 4.7.11 on my Pi4 and running lr-mame2003-plus (which is working GREAT thanks to the community).

      I've been searching all over for how to set up each ROM to load a state just after the POST of that ROM, but getting lost in all the results about saving on exit and loading where you picked up, etc. I can't find anything about the title. I used to do this all the time on my PC years ago.

      Could someone let me know that this is indeed possible and what the steps are to achieve it? I believe I used to do this with the PC MAME core. I'm assuming this is now a Retroarch thing instead?

      Thanks.

        Auto save/load can be enabled from the Settings -> Saving in the RetroArch configuration. After you set those options, save a core override so any rom/game started with that core will get the settings.

          @mitu I'm hoping to find a video or specific example of the steps to saving the state in say, Pepper II (or any game with a decently long POST) and then the settings to auto-load that post-POST save state each time the game launches.

          I THINK I may have gotten the Retroarch settings correct, but don't see anything that says something like, "On load, use this save state for this game/core".
