      I recently got Reicast working, but I'm having a problem with Metadata not saving for only Dreamcast. I am manually editing the names, not scraping. When I restart, shutdown, or exit Emulation Station, the game names always revert to the file name. I've checked the permissions for the Rom folder as well as the .emulationstation folders and they appear to be the same as the other console/arcade folders.

      I've also deleted the Dreamcast gamelist.xml files, then restarted, and manually changed the rom name, but I'm not having much luck. Viewing the gamelist.xml files that are in the Dreamcast folders are always completely blank. My other systems save the metadata changes on exiting emulation station like normal.

      I've also attempted to use the reset permissions configuration option, but this didn't change my issue. It's very odd that it only happens for 1 system. I'm on Retropie 3.8.1

      Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
