I finished my build, used the MintyPi image downloaded May 18th. Now I am trying to tweak settings. For example, I like the MintyPi theme, so I set ES to use that. Then I disabled QUICKSYSTEM SELECT, and tried setting the START ON SYSTEM to nes. All good. . . but when I close down and restart all of my ES settings are back to default. What is going on? The image does not seem to want to save any ES setting changes. Thoughts?
This is exactly the kind of weirdness that I really cannot ask on the RetroPie forum, as the answer will be "don't use 3rd party images"--advice I have often given folks myself. I am thinking maybe it is a permissions issue perhaps? Is anyone else seeing this?

Re: Emulation Station Settings not saving
There is a known bug in the settings we are aware of that will be fixed using the mintypi update feature. I can't give you an ETA on the release of it but I'll look into it for you.

Re: Emulation Station Settings not saving
Enter this into a terminal if you are able:
That should reset permissions and save settings on reboot. Make sure you do a safe shutdown as well!
Code: Select all
sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/retropie/configs
Re: Emulation Station Settings not saving
@Pelltj03 that worked! Thanks. I figured it was a permissions issue.
Marked this as RESOLVED, but this is a fix that should be incorporated into a script for MintyPi update.
