Freeze when opening cheat file

I’d like to use a cheat in Battletoads on NES to get back to the level I was at , for sort of an unlimited continues kinda thing. Thing is, when I select the file, it freezes :c.

Hmm. Are you sure it’s totally frozen and not just taking a long time? I haven’t used the cheats at all, personally, so I don’t know how long it’s supposed to take.

Ah, it has something to do with the home permissions again. Moved it to a different folder, now it works, but it can only actually read the cheat file if I run retroarch as sudo. But when I do this, for some reason pulse audio seems to not work. How do I give retroarch home permissions so I don’t have to run as sudo to use cheats?

you’ll need to change the permissions of the cheat files. If they’re in a user-writeable directory, go there and type: sudo chmod 777 * This will make everyone able to read/write them.

Thanks, that’ll do it :3.
