Trouble saving state

Hy. I'm having trouble saving states in my retropie. Has anyone else come across this problem? The hotkeys can't be the problem, the exit hotkey combo (select+start) works. But select+L1 or select+L2 doesn't work.

I'm using a RP zero and all my packages are up to date.

So select + L1 and L2 do nothing, or are they doing some other function? The default settings are Select + L is load, and select + R is save. I would check the retroarch.cfg (/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg). by scrolling through that file you can find the save and load state commands. Make sure they are mapped to your L and R buttons (or whatever ones you want to use). Worst case you could always add these lines if they do not exist:

input_enable_hotkey_btn = Select (depending on your setup this values might change)
input_save_state_btn = R (depending on your setup this values might change)
input_load_state_btn = L (depending on your setup this values might change)

You could always hit Select + Y to manually save state via RetroArch menu.
