MAME Core - Unable to savestate/loadstate from RetroArch Menu

Hi Guys,

I’m running Win7.

If I’m playing a game in RetroArch using the MAME core, I can savestate/loadstate using the internal MAME functionality (SHIFT+F7) however if I select save state from the retroarch menu I get an error stating ‘Core does not support save states’.

Savestate/loadstate from the retroarch menu works fine when using other cores (Sega Genesis, SNES).

I have configured my retroarch.cfg file to point to some specified save folders. I’ve tried troubleshooting this for a long time but cannot seem to resolve the issue or find any guidance to assist me in resolving the issue.

Please can someone offer some help?
