Retroarch Folder Game Saves

[DR9]

HI all!

Using latest Nighties.

I hope this is a easy question but I used to have the following structure for saves and states.

WAS: retroarch\saves\Sega Genesis\After Burner II.srm
NOW: retroarch\saves\Genesis Plus GX\After Burner II.srm

I have RL using a .cfg called \config\Sega Genesis.cfg

Any idea how I can get the SYSTEM folder names back vs the cores? What happens is since I use the same core sometimes games will have the same name across systems.

Thanks!

I think this has less to do with RetroArch and more to do with the RL module. This is just a guess, but you'd probably have to edit the module. You can try checking the module settings in RL to see if something you can just set.

As far as I know, you can't change that. It was something they implemented, and actually it's probably good. Some emulators and cores can't share saves or save states. Some can, some can't, so it's hard to tell. I think they changed it to be more logical. I don't think there is a way to change it back. You could disable sorting your saves in to folders, so it doesn't even put them in sub folders, I believe that is what this means, then when you load that game on a different core you could try loading the save. You still might run in to compatibility issues though from time to time.

Yup, I went back to a older backup and they have the creating save folder in the module and took this out of the latest. Probably for the best and I shouldnt worry too much, I just like organization

I went about putting my roms into individual sub folders with a nifty little program it's a snap. Now my saves go into the content directory. I'm not recommending this though. It's good for organization, bad when you lose your rom drive.
