(Gambatte) Game not saving

RetroArch Android devices
#1

I imported a Pokemon Crystal save (a battery save, not a state) from the Gambatte core on PC to my Android. I only managed to load it once I set the save directory to the “saves” folder inside the data/data/com.retroarch directory and placed my save there. Placing it in the ROM directory caused RA to not detect it.

However, no matter where I place my save and where I set the save folder to, I can’t save my game. The in-game save process seems to work fine, but once I try to load it, it loads the point where I was when I saved the game on PC.

Thanks in advance.

On Android, any kind of stuff like this is typically a problem with permissions. Try moving your save directory somewhere on your internal storage, like your Downloads folder and putting the save file there instead.

Tried that, but it doesn’t detect my save if I do that. The “continue” option doesn’t show up.

Well, it looks like at least save states work, and the internal clock does sync up whe I load it. Guess I’ll have to use that instead.
