Saving games C64 emulation

[Elmo80]

Hello, 

Hoping the community can help me out with a problem. 

I have c64 games that are zipped of which some of the zip files contain multiple disk files, i.e. street rod.zip have contained two .adf disk files. 

I use launchbox app to open the game through Retroarch using the relevant core (default). All games work and i've succesfully been able to apply a save state within Retroarch. 

The problem i'm having is when i try to save within the game, e.g. street rod specifically, it doesn't save. I open the game again and there is no save. I've tried closing Launchbox with my gamepad mapping (start + select on xbox controller) which closes the running emulation window. I've tried exiting from the pause screen. I've also tried quitting from within the Retroarch menu. All methods of exiting result in the game not being saved. I'm not sure what else i can try. 

Could this be a problem with the game being launched through a zipped file? or this just not possible with the emulation. 

I'm actually also having the same problem with Amiga emulation through Launchbox/Retroarch. 

Thanks

 

****it was the zip file if anyone was also wondering. You need to unzip to enable in game save.
