Updated to v1.2.1 via the stable PPA... ROM history is not being saved somehow

For some reason the history/recent menu doesn’t exist in my menu and RetroArch is not writing to the history file.

The main config file resides in my home folder and it was my understanding that these two files would coexist in the same directory so I don’t imagine there is a write permissions problem. Any ideas?

I should clarify… I’m running Ubuntu 15.04, and the history file actually does not exist. (to my knowledge!)

Man… why you guys don’t post in the thread that already exist about the PPA? It exists for feedback too…

You have to enable it in Settings --> Playlist --> History List Enable

I disable it because of this and this

Eh… well I didn’t know the source of the problem. If it turned out to be a general RetroArch linux problem unrelated to the PPA and I posted in that thread, I’d get called out for that instead. shrug

Appreciate the response though - thanks. I’ll just leave it as is for now then.

You can enable it, just create a folder inside ~/.config/retroarch/ (history/ for example), and change this option: content_history_path = “~/.config/retroarch/history/content_history.lpl” in the ~/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg file.

Confirmed, it works on Windows but not on Linux
