      all my emulators are creating saves (.srm) in subdir in their dir.
      Saves are setup for Retropie/Saves/snes.
      Snes emulator creating another snes catalog in Retropie/Saves/snes (= Retropie/Saves/snes/snes).

      How can I fix to return creating saves like RetroPie/Saves/snes without another dir snes in dir snes:).

        It's going to create a snes dir inside wherever you point it, so just point it at saves instead of saves/Snes so the dir it creates is called saves/snes and not saves/Snes/snes?

            Yes. So direct it at the parent directory where this new directory will be made.

            You point it at: saves/Snes << it makes a "snes" directory here and you get saves/Snes/snes/savedgame.srm == nono bad :(

            Instead do this:

            You point it at: saves << it makes a "snes" directory here and you get saves/snes/savedgame.srm == yesyes good :)

              I fix it by manual editing retroarch.cfg in all and psx, nes, snes etc.
              I needed to have saves in saves/snes, saves/snes/snes making a conflict with rclone.
