How do I reset the autosave and/or start from last game in files?

[DavidGHaydock]

I installed Drastic, tried to run a game and it crashed. I then turned the miyoo off and on forgetting that I had enabled "autostart from last save". and it has autosaved the crash. Now every time I start up its a black screen.

Hold MENU while turning on, then it will boot to menu.

You'll also need to either delete the save state file, or simply select "Reset game" in the GLO menu (press Y in the game list), this will start the game without the save state (falling back to the regular game save).

Hi Aemiii, thank you for the response. Unfortunately the menu function doesn't work, it remains a black screen. I'll have a go at deleting the save files to see if that'll fix it. Could you point me to where the save files for drastic would be in the file structure? I can't seem to find them. Thank you again for your help!

First try deleting the .tmp_update/cmd_to_run.sh file (that is responsible for auto-resume on startup)

Save states are located in: Saves/CurrentProfile/states/[core]/.

[DavidGHaydock]

There was no cmd_to_run.sh file, and there actually is no save folder in /states that is for the drastic core, which means that my understanding of what the problem was wrong. Any ideas on what to suggest here? Maybe just a reinstall or "factory reset"?

[Aemiii91]

Ah, I didn't take notice that is was drastic issues. If the system starts up to a black screen without a cmd_to_run.sh file, there must be something wrong with your system files, and you'll probably need to reinstall Onion.

@Aemiii91 I really appreciate that 90 hours in a ROM hack, I didn't want to lose all my progress. You are the best!!!
