Directory Configuration, Savefile and Savestate have their own location now by default

Savefile and Savestate

Last one you should consider changing are the save locations, by default it will place them in the same folder as your ROMS. If you care about organisation you should change these to another folder.

This paragraph is probably not needed at all, by default I'm seeing
Savefile ~/.config/retroarch/saves
Save State ~/.config/retroarch/states

Thank you for this! I will re-visit that line, some system like nx has folders under core/... folder and psc's save folder is also in different folder.

please check this, it turns out my system had a pre-configured system .cfg file in /etc that might have overridden the defaults

RetroArch should never automatically look in /etc. That config is just there for reference, AFAIK.

dantob commented

it was configured by the distro packager in .xinitrc

# Autostart Retroarch
exec /usr/bin/retroarch --appendconfig=/etc/retroarch-standalone.cfg -v 2>&1 >&/home/retroarch/debug.log
