NeoGeo Pocket in game save problem

[dego93]

Hello
Pi Model: 3b
RetroPie Version Used: 4.02
Controller used: ps3 controller
Emulator: lr-beetle-ngp

The in game save don't work,the savestate work.
The emulator creates the flash save when exit the game (select + start) but when i reload the game the save won't load.
Tested games Biomotor unitron, evolution and dark arms.
I have already remove and reinstall the emulator lr-beetle-ngp ,and i have already test the autosave function.

Thanks.

I did a fresh install with the 4.0.2 img on another sd but the neo geo pocket and neo geo pocket color save don't work.
I think there is a problem with the emulator lr-beetle-ngp.

Look in the bios folder for the flash saves

[dego93]

I change the save directory with savefile_directory = "~/RetroPie/roms/ngpc", the emulator create a directory in /RetroPie/roms/ngpc called Mednafen NeoPop with inside the flash file but when reloaded the game the save won't load.
i test another game but this time the emulator did not create the flash save.

edit. the another game now create the flash file in mednafen neopop but the save won't load.

I have test the flash file created by lr-beetle-ngp with neopop emulator on my pc and the flash save work.

The flash files are in the roms directory but when i start a game the emulator won't load the save and when i am in game not show any save.

@dego93 idk try and replicate in on retroarch on the pc just to make sure it's not RetroPie specific and then take it up with retroarch as we don't maintain the cores.

@herb_fargus
i downloaded retroarch 1.3.6 for windows and the core mednafen_ngp_libretro.dll (i don't find lr-beetle-ngp) and the in game save work good.

@herb_fargus

Can you add the core mednafen_ngp_libretto to retropie optional ?
Thanks

I upgraded to 4.0.3 ,updated retroarch and the emulator , but the in game save still do not work.
Now the emulator load the flash file but when i made a new in game save the emulator doesn't overwrite the old flash save.
Thanks
