FrankyRizzo Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 So any game I launch through retro arch that does not require a CHD works flawless. The problem I have is any game which requires a CHD loads and goes to a screen that says new cd rom inserted and to rewrite the game. After I go through the 20min installation the game works fine... Exactly how it would run on MAME itself.... However once I close RetroArch and attempt to play again it doesnt save this information and I must install the cdrom again.... Any fix for this? Or a simple setting... This isnt a HyperSpin or HyperLaunch problem..... happens the same way just using RetroArch stand alone.
Awakened Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Make sure you have nvram and cfg folders inside your MAME save folder. If it's not creating those folders automatically or if you create those folders manually and it's not making files in them, try a newer build of the core. It needs to be able to write an nvram file after the first installation so it can read that back afterward so you don't have to wait for the installation every time.
FrankyRizzo Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 I am pretty sure I have the newest build of the core... Its from 2/15/15 Maybe I should try an older core? lol
FrankyRizzo Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 manually making the folders didnt work. But changing the folders to no longer be read only did work incase anyone else has this issue
FrankyRizzo Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 hmmmm..... now im stumped.... Everything is flawless in retroarch... But when i launch the roms through hyperspin.... it wants me to redo the image again.... lol...
zillion23 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 hmmmm..... now im stumped....Everything is flawless in retroarch... But when i launch the roms through hyperspin.... it wants me to redo the image again.... lol... Same thing happened to me, I got it working in standalone retroarch by manually creating folders and then when I would run it through hyperspin or hyperlaunch, it would not read the nvram file so I just went back to using standalone mame through hyperspin and retroarch for everything else.
Rick74 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Place nvram folders and files in System/MAME/Nvram You should have 'system' in your RetroArch folder, create the others if you don't already have them
