[Solved]Trouble saving configs
Hi there, I'm running WinUAE 4.4.0 64bit on Windows 10, and no matter what I do I cannot seem to get it to save my configurations.
My usual process with emulators is that I make changes, then simply exit and they're saved. This certainly isn't happening, but I get the impression it isn't quite supposed to work that way in WinUAE, and that I need to save manually every time I make a change. I've tried saving configs manually, but I couldn't figure out how to make one load automatically on start until I turned off quickstart mode and turned on portable mode. That got me partway there, now it seems to load my most recent config on startup, but nothing under the Hardware section (hard drives, etc) seems to save consistently. At first, even if I manually saved, restarted, selected my config and clicked Load, it wouldn't restore the hard drive selection. Then, somehow, it saved the hard drive, and now that loads, but nothing else will save. If I adjust the RAM settings and manually save, after restarting and loading the config they don't come back. Same with floppy settings, or display settings under Host. I can't even remove the hard drive now. I also tried saving a Hardware config, but after restart it has no effect, and doesn't show that config in the list. I've erased the program completely, even cleared the registry entries I could find, reinstalled, and still can't make this work. Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance! |

I noticed the Load As and Save As buttons, so I tested - made a change in hardware, used Save As to write to a specific file, restarted, then Load As'd that same file and it did retrieve my settings. It seems like it's just failing to find the files automatically or via the config listing. Has anyone else encountered this?

Figured it out. Very arcane process, led me down tons of false starts. For the benefit of future users, do this exactly:
