[Solved] Organizing roms by Genre,... can't save anymore :p

[Mario.Semiglia]

Hallo dear people,

I need a little help here, I took me a lot of work to gather some really cool japanese superfamicom roms, so when I was finished I created a new Super Famicom system (to have the roms in the correct system and to have my roms more organized than just droped on the snes folder) which with the help of some of you guys I've got runnig perfectly.

The problem came when I made different folders inside the system to be able to separe the games by Genre... I went to:

Code: Select all

Home/pi/retropie/roms/sfm

Sfm (Super Famicom) and created the folders: rpg, platformers, shoot 'em up, etc.

The games work still perfect, but with the problem that the combination Select+R1 doesnt save anymore... instead what happens is that the games get incredibly slower, and at the bottom left of the screen I get a sign that says "Saving state" which doesnt disapear and when I reload the game the savefile doesnt exist anymore, it seems that retropie is having issues to create the save files... dont know what to do

Thanks for taking the time of reading this post and for help in advance

Use this three chown commands in terminal to set the permission. Mostly this will fix your problems.

sudo chown -R pi /opt/retropie/
sudo chown -R pi /etc/emulationstation/
sudo chown -R pi /home/pi/

Yeap! working awsome, now I will orginize all my systems using that folder method, it keeps everything much cleaner and easy to search! by the way if some one is interested on my super famicom research I can post a list of titles that are english friendly games to play (no japanese needed) or rpgs which you can find easy an english patch. I have found something like 50 games (all sexy )

Thanks for the help man
