Retropie How To Save And Load Game States Raspberry Pi 1 2 3 Or Zero

[@raulfranco4711]

this guy explains so well, I wish he was my teacher in school

[@21contra]

I cannot thank you enough for your work on these videos. You are my go to guy when I have an issue I'm trying solve concerning retropie. A sincere thank you for helping me enjoy my favorite games once again after so many years. God bless ;O)

[@TTSetters]

I was just saying "how the hell do I save on my rasberry pi 3" then oh hey ETA sup. Subbed, finally after watching all the videos.

[@danwoolsey6411]

Thank you for this! I always forget how between sessions but love this function.

[@beastydude123]

You deserve an award. Here is some free internet points from me. Cheers! *Hands over virtual beer*

[@matthew4892]

Thank You!!! I keep coming back to this video as a refresher because I forget how to do it after a month. I finally wrote it down for future reference for next time

[@justincase3738]

Still works perfectly to this day for Raspi 4. Thanks!

[@LastBastian]

Not for me. :(

[@patrykdolinski387]

Thanks a lot, you saved me from 3 hours worth of lost progress. At some point my game decided to start saving on state 1 instead of 0 and once i reloaded the game it loaded state 0 from 3 hours progress less. thanks ob showing me how to chance the save states.

[@NAFProjects]

You're a life saver, man! I wish I found out about this earlier.

[@owanchristensen3614]

so can i save my progress, turn my pi off and when i want to play again where i left off, i just press the left shoulder, select, and d-pad right till i get to my save slot?

[@opuscontinuum]

Does each game have its own save slot list or is it per emulator?

[@HereticExA]

Question, when you save, does each game - rom, create it's own unique save, or do you only have a set number of saves that you are allowed?

[@jakesterkw]

bump

[@ETAPRIME]

+Jake Westfall each game makes its own save file. You are only limited to the amount of space on the sd card

[@jakesterkw]

Thank you!

[@cagasbura420]

ETA PRIME i don't know how to open the retropie menù to change game when i am in-game

[@Squishyharibo]

if you mean just going back to the main game choosing section you get when you first start retropie, you just need to press select and start at the same time and it takes you back

[@bmbott123]

What if u are using a nes controller? no shoulder buttons

[@DMG118]

Agreed!

[@DMG118]

I got one as my wireless, great controller, but I'm using a Snes iBuffalo mostly, it's awesome! Plus it's got shoulder buttons so problem saving!

[@notthesameman]

buy something like a ps3 is very nice or xbox 360 wired controller.

[@NonsenseSystems]

KingQuad Bott well then... ur screwed.

[@professordj9327]

This is probably a really late answer but... You can configure a keyboard as if it was a controller and save it with a keyboard.

[@stamatiosd7519]

I tried to do a Save State on the default Atari 2600 emulator and got a "Core does not support Save States" message. Any thoughts? It worked with the NES emulator no problem.

oh man, thank you very much, you answered most of my questions, with these videos !!!

[@olafrotzoll2241]

[@gabrielefumagalli8511]

do you know how to return to main menù?

[@BradHebert]

You said that it can be loaded directly, skipping the star menus. How?

[@Ninjaverification]

Hot key + load button

[@hridoygovindadas914]

Is it possible to change those hotkeys? I want to do this while using an NES style controller. For now I am switching controllers to save while playing NES. It would be sweet to make this a keyboard command as I always have a keyboard plugged into the pi. I mapped my keyboard as a controller but no dice on holding select L or R during game play to save or load

[@ChrisSk3]

i have the same issue, have you found a solution??

[@hjr834]

For me it worked with the Nes controller, when you press select together with D-PAD LEFT you will be abble to see the slots then you hold R to save the state or L to load the state

[@volsi2087]

Hi ETA PRIME, just wondering, why can't you overwrite your saves if you know that you will never go back to that certain save?

[@necrogenesis1981]

So there's no way to use the game's save function normally? You have to use save states? I tried saving at the save area in Illusion of Gaia and the data wasn't there, I had no issue with it on my Windows PC. One other question, are the save states separate for each game? In other words, will a save state for one game be overwritten by a save state in another?

[@basedmadlad6740]

Russell You can save in game and on states. Essentially, in Emulation Station (assuming you're using that for Retropie), it runs off of Retroarch primarily. You can choose save state slots (I've hotkeyed it to Select + DPad Left/Right on a SNES controller) and save onto that slot. You can choose which slot to load and do that too. However, if you want to save your actual game, all you need to do is navigate to settings and turn on "Save metadata on exit". This allows your console to save all of the changes made (such as saving your game, adding a game to favorites, or fiddling with a config file). Make sure to fully shutdown your system before cutting off power to it, to make sure no data is lost. If that doesn't work, I'll help you further.

[@basedmadlad6740]

And yes, save states are separate for each game. "Save states are 'snapshots' of a game's progress. Save states differ from the save functionality built into most games - because they are produced by the emulator itself, they carry none of the limitations that the game or console may otherwise impose. You can create any number of save states you like, as frequently as you like, and loading them will take you back to precisely where you were in the game when they were taken (even in the middle of a battle or cut scene). You may use a game's built-in save mechanism instead of or in addition to save states, if you like." Essentially, you are suspending a snapshot of the game, not truly saving. I do both to be sure.

[@PrivateJohnGarrett]

My son already started a game and has a lot of progress into it. Is there any way for him to turn on 'save metadata' without jeopardizing his progress?

[@basedmadlad6740]

PrivateJohnGarrett Yes, turning on save metadata will have no effect on his progress whatsoever. It basically means that if you exit Retropie all data will automatically save. It won't affect save games at all (this includes save states and such).

[@bigsmoke53]

Hefty Knob McGee So by turning on "save metadata" ill be able to use the memory card function on ps1?

[@IvanJRojas]

Is there a way to save high scores? And to compare them with friends?

[@mythicalgalaxy001]

Thanks alot. Helped me big time

[@fierogtx1]

Your explanation is great it work but i dont see the slot state or the writing on the screen when i load so i dont know what slot i save does it is normal? Thanks for your help

[@JaysonIce]

It doesn't work for me: I don't see that message, so I thought it did safe so I'm trying to load it, but that doesn't work either. Can someone help me out?

[@SEB1991SEB]

He says you should use Select in these button combinations, but the reason he uses Select is because that's set as the Hotkey button on his controller. But your controller might have a different button set as the Hotkey button (like the PS/Xbox button if you're using a PlayStation/Xbox controller). So find out what button you set as the Hotkey and use that in these button combinations instead of Select.

[@LastBastian]

@@SEB1991SEB I can't get mine to work either. Someone else set the controls, my main hotkey is the PS button, but no button combo seems to save. ??

[@SEB1991SEB]

@@LastBastian Are you sure your PS button is the hotkey button? Does it work for quitting a game? If so, then I don't know what the problem could be honestly. It would depend on how your friend set the hotkey controls. There is a way to check which hotkey buttons are used for each controller that's mapped to RetroPie, and to change each controller's hotkey button combinations. It's a bit of a long-winded process but it's the only thing I can think to recommend. It's not too complicated really though once you know what to do. To do this first make sure you have a keyboard connected to your Raspberry Pi, and then complete the following steps: 1. Go into the RetroPie Menu 2. Click 'Configuration Editor' 3. Click 'Advanced Configuration' 4. Click 'Manually edit RetroArch configurations' 5. In this screen there should be a .cfg file for each controller you have mapped to RetroPie. Click on the .cfg file of the controller you want to view 6. This .cfg file is a plain text file that you can then scroll through with your keyboard. In this .cfg file is a list of the controller's buttons and the numbers they're mapped to. It also shows all the Hotkey actions and the numbers they're mapped to. By looking at the hotkey actions' numbers, and comparing them with the controller buttons' numbers, you can figure out which controller buttons are mapped to which hotkey actions (eg. if the Save State hotkey action is mapped to the number 11, and the controller's Down button is mapped to the number 11, then you know that the Save State action is mapped to the controller's Down button) 7. You can also edit this .cfg file to change the numbers that the Hotkey actions are mapped to (don't change the numbers of the controller buttons though since that will cause the controller to stop working). So if you want to map the Right Shoulder button to the Save State hotkey action, you would first scroll down through the list until you find the Right Shoulder button (input_r_btn), and you'd take note of its number (eg. 4). Then you'd scroll through the list until you find the Save State hotkey action (input_save_state_btn), and you'd change its number to the same number as the Right Shoulder button (4). You can then use this method to map other hotkey actions to other controller buttons 8. To exit this .cfg file, press the Tab key on the keyboard to highlight the 'OK' button, and then click it. You'll be back at the previous screen with all the controller .cfg files 9. If you've changed the hotkey actions with that controller, then they'll only work with that controller. So you'll have to do the same with each of the controller .cfg files in this screen. (Even if you have just one controller though, it is recognised as a separate controller when it's wireless as opposed to wired, so it will have two separate .cfg files that you'll have to edit) Let me know if you need any help with it.

[@LastBastian]

@@SEB1991SEB Thanks for the detailed write up, I truly appreciate it. Sorry I got you to do that though, as I actually did figure it out with a friend's help. Hopefully this can still help others who see it.

Thank you works great! Only issue I have is on N64 emulation (Mario 64) I cannot see the save slots when hitting "select - dpad" . The saving + loading function does work, but I can't see which slot I'm in. Any tricks to get this to show (resolution settings?)

[@hollywh1269]

Hi, have you found a solution to this? I'm having the same issue.

Thanks. I thought it wasn't doing anything when I would press select and r. I never thought to try to load the save state.

I just built my retropie last week and today, I just made a traveling case for it

[@JackSmith-rr1od]

what version of retropie were you using on this video

[@Down_N_Dirty_Sports]

Hey ETA, thanks for all you do, it was you who inspired me to build a cabinet. I have a question, my hot key for save state some how got altered. When in game play, Left shoulder button wants to activate the save state to slot 0. I went in retroarch and tried to disable or reassign it so that it don’t interfere with game play. I reassigned it to my coin button, so now I can play games without interference, but it still activates when I add coins. Not sure what to do? I tried assigning multiple buttons but It won’t allow me to. Can you offer any advice? I appreciate it, thank you.

[@garyreardon11]

ETA PRIME can you setup a usb for the games to be saved on or will it only save to you sd card?

[@hicksvids1194]

thanks for your help keep up the good work

[@jcw232000]

Hi I like your videos they’re at three and It’s very informal andn, explain However how do you maintain your saves get rid of some thing if you don’t want it anymore

[@jackherbic6048]

Are saves game specific? can you use the same number on multiple games?

[@PhilippJansen]

Thank you for your videos, ETA Prime! I tried to create my own mobile RetroPie with a 5" display, PS3 controller, a power bank and an external USB sound card. So far my project is a success but there are two problems I encountered and cannot solve (yet). Maybe they are worth a video or two. My problems: 1. Since the Waveshare 5" 800x480 display does not have an integrated scaler the resolution must be forced via configuration file of the Pi. My Pi will not be used solely for mobile use and thus I like to hook it up with my HD TV from time to time. With this forced resolution the HDMI out does not work anymore. Is there any possibility to let the Pi detect the optimal resolution? There is a function called EDID, which lets you identify your connected display with an identification number and create your own settings for it. Unfortunately, the 5" display lacks this functionality. 2. The headphone jack on the Pi offers awful sound quality. As a workaround I purchased an external USB soundcard and got it working after editing a config file. The bad thing is I have to change the files to get the audio from the HDMI working again. Can the Pi somehow detect whether the external sound card is connected (if so: use it) or not (sound via HDMI)? Any help is appreciated!

[@DaniboyBR2]

What if I use a SNES controller?

[@poppajules]

I am the same way, I was wondering if it has to be the bottom triggers rather than bumpers.

[@RivellaLight]

Dan 123 He did mention early on in the vid that he mapped the shoulder buttons to the triggers. So you can just use the shoulder buttons on your SNES controller...

[@iwanttoseemrshow]

@@RivellaLight I tried that. You can't map trigger buttons for the SNES when they don't exist. It will say, "already taken" if you try.

[@iwanttoseemrshow]

Anyone figure this out, yet?

Quick question.... what shader are you using for snes emulator?

[@TheOmarTech]

Can I have a dedicated key mapped to save state and another to load state. I have an arcade controller with spare buttons that are not being used.

[@AlmarJohansen]

How do you save/load state with a N64 controller without "select" button? i have a keybord connected, any combos here?

[@ETAPRIME]

did you map a select button the keyboard? what controller are you using?

[@AlmarJohansen]

No i have not mapped the keyboard, but i have tryed to mapped another controller (ps3 bt) it works fine by its self but not possible to save/load as a "number 2" controller. Im guessing it would work the same way with the keyboard if i map it as a controller. I am playing Zelda Ocarina of time, this game has pictures of the buttons on the screen so i it will be confusing to use another controller with this game. When i press F9 the game freezes, when i press P the picture disappears but it will return when pressed P again. ESC is another way for exit the game (select+start)

[@sedaberry]

Thanks this helped a lot.

[@joshburgess4861]

do you know how to switch between the psx disc when there is more then one with one game?

[@Artimes.]

But what if you have a controller that doesn't have the right and left shoulder buttons. I am playing NES games and trying to save with a SNES controller and this is infurating to me. I keep loading my previous state and not saving the state of my progress. Some times when i push down L and R together, it will save, other times it just loads. So are the controls different depending upon what controll you are using.

[@myoldblackdog]

But ... How do you delete a save state?

[@Balalaikaduo]

You can overwrite

[@pokepictures4664]

So... I tried exactly what you did, but it is not allowing me to save at all. Do I have to set it up the save states in the settings menu or anything or what do I do?

[@RecallReviews]

What about a game that uses the left shoulder button in the game, for example like a first person shooter?

[@Hailthecloudslayer]

This work with games like Pokemon that have a save built in?

[@WikedSpartan]

Is there a way to save psx or snes to a USB drive?

[@tonibordallo]

after saved , are these slots 1,2,3 valid only for the game in use? I mean, in the video you used these 3 slots for this game, if you want to save another game while playing it, other game that you will be playing will show slots available from the start (1,2,3) or will start empty ones in 4? what happens if I load a saved game slot of this game in another game? thanks!

[@SEB1991SEB]

This is a really misleading video because you don't explain that the reason these button combinations use the Select button is because you've already set the Select button as the Hotkey. But if everyone else set a different button as the Hotkey then using Select won't work for them. On a PS3 controller people would normally set the PS button as the Hotkey, so using Select wouldn't work for them, they should use the PS button instead.

[@LastBastian]

Exactly. Thank you. This doesn't work for me at all.

[@Turtlehands]

Ahh, so it is the hotkey, not the select... Well, the guy posting the video might not even realize that he'd set up his controller like that. Thanks for this, saving this stuff seemed impossible until I saw this video, read a few comments.

[@SEB1991SEB]

@@Turtlehands Yeah I guess that could be true, I didn't mean anything towards ETA PRIME, he does have probably the best channel on KZbin when it comes to RetroPie. I'd just hate for anyone to become confused from this though. No problem, glad my comment helped :)

I had a lot to learn to get it working at all. So I do the first 8 I think, then start, I skip select.... (though, I think one of the 7th or 8th buttons might be better to skip? X+Y on my controller....) and then use select as the hotkey, and left and right shoulder for to save, you need those.... The bottom line is get a controller with a million buttons on it.

I can't get this to work with an SNES style controller. Perhaps since it is only R and L mapping rather then the R2 and L2 mapping of your PS controller? However, I also heard this can be done with a keyboard using F2 and F4. No dice there either...same for Alt F2/F4. I have read several forum posts and so far this is not working for me. I am on latest version of retropie. Any ideas?

[@ETAPRIME]

When you mapped the controller did you set the L and R to the shoulder buttons?

[@PeteC75]

+ETA PRIME I only mapped L1 and R1, I left L2 and R2 unmapped. Should I map both buttons to each single shoulder button so pressing one presses both? I didn't know what effect that would have.

[@ETAPRIME]

+PeteC75 I'm pretty sure you need to map L2 and R2 instead of L1-R1 , I will take a look when I get home

[@PeteC75]

+ETA PRIME Yeah I think you are right. I just watched a video of someone mapping an SNES controller, and they only mapped the Bottom Shoulder buttons and skipped the Top Shoulder buttons. I did the opposite. I need to re-run that mapping tool and try it again. Thanks for the tip!

+ETA PRIME Is there a way to re-run the controller setup like when you map it the first time? Or am I stuck going into config files now?
