Retroarch Save States

[pjbridger]

Hi Guys,

I am having issues with my RetroArch setup,

Im sure that I have had auto save states working previously, but now they seem to not be working,

I have them enabled inside the emulator on load and on exit and also save state auto index,

the save states work whilst playing the game, as in i can save and load whilst in game,

but when i leave the game and reload it the saves are gone,

Im sure I had this working before!

can anyone help?

Sooooo...

i have got the auto save files to work by changing the temporary folder to not auto delete files,

this poses another problem as I use compressed files a lot so I will have to regularly delete the build up of files,

This is not really a long term option for me, but it does show that the auto saves work,

I definetly have had this working before, any ideas?

I read in another post that if you store the saves in the same directory than the uncompressed games, everything is deleted by RL on exit. Perhaps there is a way to change the directory for the save states.

Is there a way to save/load states manually in Retroarch while having the auto-save feature OFF? For example pressing F2 or another F key... ?
