Games won't save
-
New to RPi, searched the tags from similar problems, but all of them were from previous editions of RetroPie. I have been getting everything working through google searches. I have played several games on several systems(NES, SNES, Master System, etc), but the save feature doesn't work on any of them. No saving when exiting while pushing select+start, won't save by timed intervals, and when I hit select+R1 it'll pop up in the bottom corner saying "0% Saving state" and it'll stay there. I went through the config file and edited that based on something I found online, still didn't work. I'm not savvy with getting into the coding, but I did what made sense. Hitting Select+X and playing with all those saving options hasn't changed the problem. If you have a solution, please give me the dummies guide version!
Running RPi 3 Model B
RetroPie v 4.2 -
@nialithe My best guess is the permissions are messed up on your rom directories (this can happen if you copy roms/folders as root). The simplest way to fix is to run the following from from the RetroPie_Setup script: C Configuration / Tools -> 821 resetromsdir. This will fix permissions and you should be able to save. Another possibility is that you disk is full, but you'd likely see other problems if this were the case.
