ROM game save
some ROMs like Zelda allow you to save your progress after you die. Where is this saved? in the ROM itself or a separate file? I know emulators have a separate save function, but that is not what i'm referring to...
After loading my roms I noticed they all have different permissions. I would think only read permissions would be needed but I need to know the answer to the above question first.
I think battery saves (like those in Zelda) are saved in a separate file. Ref.: http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?n=saves
Not to be confused with save states, which are the instantaneous state of a game that the emulator gives you.
That being said, I don't know why write permissions would be a problem, especially at the folder level, to allow copying new roms in. I modified the copy script so that it sets the owner and group to pi after the copy of ROM files.
I was more concerned with the perms of the roms. All my roms had different perms after they were loaded. I want to figure out the perms necessary and set them on all roms after they are copied in.
What do you mean, "perms"?

Ah, of course. I actually thought that recursively setting the permissions
on the /home/pi/roms folder would make all the perms the same. That's
weird.

It should set it recursively. Ownership was set properly just not perms.

Oh, duh - perms vs. ownership.
Sorry. Some days people try to tell me things, but I miss the details.
