Famicom Disk System Save Location

RetroArch General
#1

Hi All,

Is there any way to change the save location for Famicom Disk System games in the Nestopia core. Using the command line arguments -S and -s I’ve been able to assign save and save state locations for the standard NES game saves, but the FDS absolutely insists on being in the same directory as the game regardless of setting. I’ve tried changing the location through the config instead of command line but that doesn’t seem to work either (and command line is better for my usage anyway). I’d like to get this working as I sync all my saves through dropbox and I don’t want to have to add all my games there as well.

I’m using an April 3, 2015 build of Retroarch on Win 7 64bit.

They only go where your ROMs are extracted currently. I made an issue report about this awhile back: https://github.com/libretro/nestopia/issues/8

Radius and I talked to tehcloud about this in IRC and he pushed a fix for it. Next build should follow the save location preference for FDS games along with regular game saves.

Wow, thanks a ton!
