          Nice - Not had a chance to test, but if it works post the fixes to the libretro code repositories on github :)

            Best to send a pull request to libretro so that many people can test, not just us.

                  @rocklima2 Have you tested directory changes from retroarch.cfg?

                  For example with my tests before your changes:

                  https://github.com/libretro/beetle-wswan-libretro/issues/6

                  I can confirm that the savestate directory change works but the savefile (eg. the .sav file) is hardcoded specifically to the rom folder regardless of the settings that are changed in the retroarch,cfg. whereas previously it had been hardcoded to the system folder (which for RetroPie is set as the BIOS folder) I probably need to do more testing as well anyways-

                  the other question is if something like this is done similarly for the mednafen lynx emulator or the psx- would it also hardcode the bios into the romfolder as well or does this change only apply to the save directories and leave the systemdir untouched?

                    @herb_fargus i read your post before my change , bettle-cores have same file for config setting "libretro.cpp" , other user solved psx i read source file for see change e apply same idea on wonderswan. my change is save directory not defined , set save file in system directory, i remove check of pointer *dir, because function check before set dir and always directory not defined set system for default.i tested playing game for make sav but before change .sav placed on system dir after change sav placed on rom folder.

                      @rocklima2 I see. I'm currently testing with beetle lynx and I can confirm the BIOS stays in the proper system folder as they should so your fix is still better than it is currently. Ideally in game save files should be able to be sorted proper with the savefile_directorysetting rather than defaulting to the rom folder but it's better they default to the rom folder than the BIOS folder like they did.
