.sav files defaulting to system directory even with savefile directory defined.

[HerbFargus]

I'm using a retroarch.cfg override (where I have a retroach.cfg file in folders by core) with retropie. I get the same results with --appendconfig

I've set the savefile directory to

savefile_directory = /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/saves/

and savestate directory to

savestate_directory = /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/states/

The savestate directory seemed to work but the savefile directory did not, it always defaults to the system directory

This seems to be a common issue with most mednafen (Beetle) cores.

See

libretro/beetle-psx-libretro#19

RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup#1266

RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup#1162

Based on this comment: libretro/beetle-psx-libretro#19 (comment) It would likely would need to be done for all the Mednafen (beetle) cores.

savefile_directory still needs to be sorted but at least now in game save files default to the rom folder instead of the system directory with #7

Issue is fixed, you can close it @twinaphex

since core has been using the retro_get_memory_data/size already, this issue does not apply anymore...
