Unable to save using prboom

with either save games or savestates. i have the latest android nightly.

in-game saves are working fine for me

i just restarted my system. it just sames GAME SAVE FAILED! in the top left.

Make sure you have write permissions to the save location specified in your ‘directory settings’

hmm. i’ll dig around some more for directory settings but i’m not seeing em.

ok found directory settings. how do i know whether or not i have write permissions?

Basically, if it’s in /data/data/*, you won’t, so you should change it to somewhere on your internal storage or SD card, for example.

SD card is out of the question. since the last android update that requires root last i checked. i have had it on internal for a year or so now. any other insights?

You should be able to write to the internal storage space. Try /sdcard0/android/data/com.retroarch/files.

i hooked up to my computer and made a “savestates” folder. i’ll see if i can’t move stuff around. any known issues with the nvidia shield portable flexes dope console

went with the path you said. GAME FILE SOMETHING OR ANOTHER NOT DONE DID SAVED!

wat? Is that good or bad?

it didn’t save. in other words.

halp! halp!

Ok I checked this, prboom doesn’t use the save interface, it’s in-game saves save to the game folder, so unless your rom can write to that dir you’re SOL NextApp SD fix is a must for any serious android user.
