I had the same problem recently, I deleted the following files and everything went back to normal:
/mnt/sdcard/.allium/state/current_game
/mnt/sdcard/.allium/state/allium-launcher.json
Thanks a lot! I suspect it could be a faulty SD which somehow made the save state progress fail. And force quitting it made it stuck in this loop.
I'm not too sure, but the saving issue might be caused by the device running out of memory as well.
I'll try to add a method to detect such boot failures and fallback to not resuming the game.
I had the same problem but in a different case. It wasn't related to disk space but to a problem with a (probably) non-functional ROM. It was a ROM for PICO-8 that wouldn't start up correctly, I kept getting stuck on the PICO-8 emulator configuration screen, Allium's menu only displaying 3 choices:
The quit choice returned me to the PICO-8 emulator configuration screen.
While playing Chrono Trigger, I tried to save a state. But the „saving xx%“ message never completed. So I tried to quit the game which did not work. Force power off worked but any time I power on the device, I‘m back in the game which I cannot quit. Quit does nothing. Going to the Retroarch Menu and select „Quit Retroarch“ freezes everything and I habe to force quit again. Which File do I have to delete to nake the OS boot normally and not directly into the game? Thanks!!
