Hi!
I just finished setting up vpx launcher for playing in VR.
A major thing that I noticed with VR in general, is that 2d games rely a lot in 2d textures with normal maps to make things look 3d while saving performance. But VR breaks this illusion making things look flat/weird. For things to look good in VR the models need to have actual geometry instead of relying on textures.
From the 20 tables I setup so far, the most impressive one in VR is Scared Stiff.
The models of the little creatures in the bumpers moving, the ribs, and so on make the table look almost real.
Any other tables with great 3d models?

Hi! I'm having a few issues with saving on an Android handheld.

I`m not sure if it is because I changed the save location to the microsd so I could just place the microsd in my pc/steamdeck and continue playing from there without having to mess with syncthing. The microsd seems to be from a reputable brand from searching on here.

One of the issues seems to be a bug, another issue must be how savestates work or also a bug.

Now. After a half dozen times. I noticed that the game doesn't properly save the save states.

Latest example. I played the start of earthbound. Quit ra with the autosave on quit on. Put the handheld to sleep. Loaded and the save wasn't there, there was an autosave at the start screen where I didn't quit...

I tried quiting on another point, and upon loading it also didn't seem to save. Once I manualy saved, only them the autosave seemed to save.

Another example was with a gba castlevania. I played it for hours, left it on standby without quiting also for hours, manually saved and turned off without quiting retroarch, the save wasn't there when loading on my steamdeck. This one I guess it's due to retroarch saving to memory and not saving to disk until you quit. Is this true?

And the last issue is the one on the title. Does autosaves overwrites regular saves?
Because for some reason. If I do a regular save. If I load another autosave and reset to load the save, the save I made won't be there.
