    Thank you for your response! Here is my progress on things as I have been tinkering…

    1. pi was the owner of the save files that were created. But for whatever reason, it appeared that I didn’t have write access to the file I just created. I made a folder called /home/pi/RetroPie/save and set the Retroarch file to save to that location for .state and .srm.

    It would save the first time and then wouldn’t allow me to save another state over it. After changing the permissions on the specific file to 777, I was able to keep writing over it. But every time I make a new state file for a game, I have to change the permissions on the state file to 777 so I can run it and overwrite it. What might be the problem there? I can’t execute the files I create?

    2. When I was trying to make my “save” folder from the terminal, it told me that I was out of space (32gb SD card) and I couldn’t make another folder. I deleted a psx rom and then I could make it. After that I still had to go through the steps in number 1 above to get it working. I have since expanded the filesystem from the raspi-config. But I don’t know if I am missing another step… Does this sound like it is properly set up?

    Thank you so much for your reply! Talk to you soon!
