Core is unable to create new folders as needed #18

Open spinningacorn opened 7 years ago

spinningacorn commented 7 years ago

When I first started using this core, I wasn't able to save any MAME setting. I was able to save .cfg files after I manually created the main folders in {savefiles]/MAME 2014/mame2014/ (like the "cfg" folder). However, I still can't get the core to make individual folders for functionalities that need it, like the auto-load and save states function (which writes and reads from ({savefiles]/MAME 2014/mame2014/states/{gamename}), nor games that need to write and read nvram. These function do work if I manually make a folder with the name of the specific game I'm trying, so a possible workaround is to write a script that makes a folder for all possible rom names in those folders, but that's less than ideal.

This DOES NOT happen with mame2003 nor any other mame core. Those make their needed folders just fine.

I'm in Windows 10, and I verified I already verified I run retroarch with admin rights.

Thanks in advance!

Trying to save simple button remaps from TAB menu. It does not work (latest Retroarch and win10 64bit). Seems it is the above mentioned issue. Alternatively could someone kindly tell what folders must be created manually? thanks
