Hit close content from the quick menu and quit RetroArch from the main menu when you're done playing. Otherwise your progress won't be saved.

Ah that's the problem. Never do this if you want to save things.
You access the menu by pressing L3+R3.
That's the both analog sticks pressed in at the same time.

Edit: Some people seem to have other (older?) configs. Then it might be PLUS+MINUS.

Note that on the latest nightly, you don't have to do this to save.
Now, I can press home button right after saving without losing any progress

Don't tell lies.

Thanks! that worked out of all the button combinations i tried before i didnt try L3/R3 so i assumed the home button was the only way to close out.

Not sure if this is a lie or not.
On the Wii U I could kill RetroArch any time and saves won't be lost. Only the RetroArch config (if I changed video settings or stuff like that) would have been gone if RetroArch hasn't been quit right.

Sorry to be a pain with more questions, but ate you using a particular version of the game or BIOS? Because I'm just getting a black screen

Sometimes freezes when trying to start a game, just keep trying.
Asumming you have the bios in the right place.

Are shaders not supported or am I doing something wrong? Trying to run a gba color palette shader (found here https://github.com/libretro/common-shaders) but I can't seem to load the file in retroarch.

Nope, no lie. Just try it.
I'm not telling it works for every cores, but right now, I'm playing Oracle of Ages through Gambatte, and i'm doing this all the time

And for testing purpose, I just tried with the latest stable (from 07/21 iirc) : it doesn't work.

anyone having troubles loading any of the retroarch emulators using SX OS 1.4? I downloaded the latest build but it just hangs on a black screen.

SX OS is not supported because of its poor homebrew support, use hekate.

Is fat32 really a must for this?

I'm curious about this too. Wanted to switch to exfat soon.
