Problem with saves location Empty Problem with saves location

Hi. Yesterday I was going to continue my games as usual and I found that Retroarch couldn't load neither from Emulation Station, neither from its own launch icon, so I downloaded it again from their website and pasted everything inside 'emulators/retroarch', so I fixed that and all games are now loading correctly from ES. Very Happy

However I'm having an aditional problem, as my saved games are still inside the Saves folder of Retrobat but the emulator seems to be searching somewhere else, so I can't continue with them. Do you know how to solve this?


Thanks.

If you downloaded retroarch from their website you have retroarch 1.15, which is not compatible with Retrobat.
Retrobat needs retroarch 1.10.3.

Additionaly:
Retrobat tells retroarch that the saves folder is retrobat\saves.
The setting is located in the retroarch.cfg file.

When running games from retrobat ==> saves are loaded from retrobat\saves folder.

Thanks for your answer. Where the setting is exactly?

By opening retroarch.cfg (inside system/templates) the only one that I can find is this:

savefile_directory = ""

Hello,
This is the template file, so it's empty.
The one where Retrobat has written the value is in the emulators\retroarch folder.

But you cannot change it in Retroarch or in this file, as it is overwritten everytime you run a game from Retrobat.
