Can not save core option and game-options file size is zero (blank) #592

Using Odroid N2 with TheRA, it is normal. But Odroid XU4 with TheRA, I meet the same issue ( with RetroPie) as the following link : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21796/lr-parallel-n64-game-options-file-blank

there are 3 options in retroarch-core-options.cfg

parallel-n64-gfxplugin = "rice" parallel-n64-gfxplugin-accuracy = "veryhigh" parallel-n64-screensize = "640x480"

you can manual edit it, for example change "rice" to "glide64" and it will work. But if you change it in RetroArch and save it as default core option ( override core option ), it will not take effect. If you save game option to file, the .opt file size is zero.

Is it due to permission issue or something not found, hope it can be fixed, thank you !

P.S. may I ask If I set GFX Plugin to "auto", is there a config file to define which rom to use which plugin ? Or it choose plugin by "program auto detect" ? Sometime the "auto" seems not choose the best plugin. Thank you.

This is due to lr-parallel-n64 crashing on exit with ARM. I have bisected it to

So can the crash be fixed then? I'm running it on the XU4, and it runs fine and all. But when attempting to close/restart the running emulator.. it will segfault.

I can send a coredump if it helps..
