PPSSPP 1.4.2 and save files

I noticed that the new PPSSPP core is based on version 1.4.2 of the standalone. Should the memory cards/saves from the standalone work with the core? Because i can’t make them work. I always get a message that they are corrupted or that there is not enough space.

Is this a problem for more users?

Using ppsspp 1.4.2-git amd64 on linux i also can not save savestates, but no error appears in retroarch itself.

As user xyz in console using retroarch -v I get: [INFO] [INFO] Saving state: “/home/xyz/retrogames/psp/gamename.state1”. [INFO] State size: 100663296 bytes. [ERROR] Failed to save state to “/home/xyz/retrogames/psp/gamename.state1”.

retroarch.cfg has save state dir set to “default” It’s the same error in any directory I put the game in.

PPSSPP creates three subdirs:

PPSSPP_STATE PSP SAVEDATA

Recording a movie yielded these errors in console: [ERROR] Could not open BSV file for recording, path : “/home/xyz/retrogames/psp/gamename.bsv”. [ERROR] Failed to start movie record.

The strace i captured before the error message: http://paste.debian.net/986916/

Changing savefile_directory to another in retroarch.cfg creates the savefile directories in the specified directory. Changing savestate_directory to the same in retroarch.cfg yields the same “[ERROR] Failed to save state to…” error.

Other cores save states seem to be working.

I auto-updated the ppsspp to latest in Retroarch, and configmred that my local ppsspp_libretro.so and ppsspp_libretro.so from http://bot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/x86_64/latest/ ppsspp_libretro.so have matching md5sums : 513c124da1510932ab7725c5a6330d5c

Hope this helps, Cheers!

also any news for updated armhf version? the core is still the ancient one…
