Reply To: Moving save state location

[Anonymous]

Here is the relevant section of the config file (if you need other sections please let me know):

# Save all save files (*.srm) to this directory. This includes related files like .bsv, .rtc, .psrm, etc …
# This will be overridden by explicit command line options.
savefile_directory = /home/pi/RetroPie/saves

# Save all save states (*.state) to this directory.
# This will be overridden by explicit command line options.
savestate_directory = /home/pi/RetroPie/saves

The message I get when I try to load a save state is :

Failed to load state from “/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/Contra.state”.

As you can see, it is still trying to find the save state file in the default location, but it is unable since I moved them all over to /home/pi/RetroPie/saves. I suspect that if I copied the save file and pasted it back in the default location it would work fine. Does it not allow roms and save files to be stored in different folders?
