      Hi,
      I'm new to Retropie although I'm not new to EmulationStation & RetroArch. I've been using Recalbox for several years but had some specific requirements I could only get with Retropie. Everything is working great with exception of one small important issue...autosave.

      When I press hotkey+x to get into RetroArch, if I exit via the menu it saves the .auto file as I require. However, if I press hotkey+exit button it seems to quit but not save. I've set it up so that it autosaves every 5 seconds but to no avail.

      Am I missing something? How do it get it to autosave when using the hotkey+exit button?

      Nick

        I havent looked in a while, but last time I did in-game saves are .srm files.
