I’ve been trying to figure out how to get this to work without having to merge all the disk images into one file.

I’ve added:

input_disk_eject_toggle_btn = ""
input_disk_next_btn = ""
input_disk_prev_btn = ""

to my retroarch.cfg file but when I try it it shows that it ejects it but only shows one cd to switch with. All my files have the same name and formatting with CD1, CD2, CD3, CD4 on the end.

Has anyone been able to get this way to work? Is it maybe just a formatting issue maybe?

Bump for ideas about using a usb mouse

Hi Omnija,

I did end up checking retroarch.cfg but didn’t find much of anything that stood out. I’ll have to check for a hacked rom to use the joystick thanks!

[geneworld]

Any ideas?

[quote=102536]Are you sure you are loading them with the same emulator that created them? For example, were they saved using snes9x-next and now you are using pocketsnes?

Well this was the issue. I checked and once I set the emulator to the same one (pocketsnes) on both systems the save state worked! Figured I’d update this for anyone else who runs into a similar issue.

Sucks that the save states don’t work on different emulators though.

Hi Floob, yeah that is what the error was..i made sure i was on the correct game save state.

Floob, Here is some information on the permissions of the directories. The is for the RaspberryPi I am having issues with. I included the directory with the roms folders to show only gb and snes. I also included gb to show what the permissions look like on a working system

-rw-r--r--  1 pi pi   422K Feb 14 02:34 SuperMario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars.state1

You can see the rights are different. Should this matter?

[quote=102535]This isn’t related to your issue… But that being my favourite game I’ve been working on a project that you may find useful for once you do solve your save state problem (its still a work in progress)

herbfargus that looks great so far good luck on your project!

[geneworld]

[quote=102534]When you do “ls -lah” what are the permissions shown on that file you want to load (and what are the permissions on the saves that do load?)

[/quote]

Hi Floob the permissions are both for pi but i will verify when I get home today!

[quote=102536]Are you sure you are loading them with the same emulator that created them? For example, were they saved using snes9x-next and now you are using pocketsnes?

[/quote]

Hi Jimgdawg you know that is something I didn’t even think about I will have to check that out!

Thanks for the great advise guys I’ll check them both out after work and report back!
