    Just FYI, this process worked better for me than renaming the .srm file. Not sure why it would not work correctly for me. My issue was a bad disc 2 file. I got a new file and tried appending it, open the tray, load disc 2, close the tray, and it worked for me.

    I am playing FF VII with a SNES gamepad. I have gotten to the end of Disk 1 and now need Disk 2. I have found alot of help on the forum, but my below process does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

    I started by editing my retroarch.cfg @ /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
    I found the lines the hotkeyed save and load and added these lines:
    input_enable_hotkey_btn = “8” (this is my select button, check yours)
    input_menu_toggle_btn = “2” (this is my b button, check yours)

    Next, I rebooted my system to ensure the changes would update.

    Now I loaded FF VII Disk 1 and loaded my save file that told me to swap to disk 2 (on disk 1), now I hit my hotkey “Select + B”. Navigate to “Options” > “Core Disk Options” > “Disk Image Append” > select disc 2. Now this appended disk 2 at index 2. Now I navigate back to “Core Disk Options” and I open the virtual drive, set in disk 2, and close the drive.

    At this point, I would expect Disk 2 to load, but never does.

    I had the same issue and having other slight issues. I was able to successfully beat rufus, but it required only using “Attack”. The crappy part, after that the Motor Ball fight, it would keep doing that if I cast Fire. Was able to get past. Now I am just running around trying to catch my 1st chocobo and the game will out of nowhere exit. If I save with the game’s memory card or with the retroarch save, if the game closes on it’s own, the save does not save…..so if I don’t close the game regularly, it could crash and I get to do the last 2 hours over again. Any help other than Turbo would be appreciated. Going to try a different rom tonight.

    not sure what happened, once i posted above, my start button stopped having issues (at least for now). I did do some further looking and found this forum. I made the change to retroarch.cfg as suggested to audio, seems working for now….fingers crossed.

    I thought that might work going through different forums. I did:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo rpi-upgrade

    Did each of these today and still getting the same error. All was working great with previous install of retropie (at least 1 year old). Tried different roms to see if it was just that rom, still getting the same error.

    Thoughts?

    I too am having this issue. I have noticed that I receive this error when pressing the “Start” button on my USB SNES gamepad. I only get this error after loading a game from the “Select + R” menu. If I allow the game to progress normally and load the game from the in game save feature, the Start button works…until I save it with “Select + R”. I have looked through many .cfg files and no luck. Any ideas?
