Auto-save is loaded when external controller is disconnected overriding progress with old data

[felipegomesdm2]

Describe the bug When an external controller (a Bluetooth one, any should do) is disconnected, Lemuroid loads the last auto-save. This auto-save also overrides the manually saved data.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Connect a Bluetooth controller
2. Open any game
3. Disconnect the controller

Expected behavior The auto-save shouldn't happen because it might delete your progress.

Smartphone:

• Device: [Redmi 10C]
• OS: [Android 11]

Additional context I believe this is a workaround Lemuroid has for RetroArch not being able to show the on-screen controller once an external controller is connected, so it resets to the last auto-save. However, is it possible to auto-save when a controller is disconnected? That way, when the controller is connected again, it will auto-load the last state.

If you need help, please let me know.

I just logged in to report this behavior. The emulator actually restarts the game when a controller disconnects or when a controller connects. I don't remember when it started to do this, but I'm pretty sure this was not the case in previous versions since I got one of iPega Bluetooth controllers and they tends to turn themselves off when there is no activity for 5 minutes. Now imagine you are playing Metal Gear Solid and you are watching a cutscene and the controller is idle for 5 minutes since MGS have long cutscenes, BOOM, the game restarts in the middle of the cutscene!

Since I played MGS before on Lemuroid and watched all the cutscenes whit this controller, I am certain that Lemuroid didn't behave like this before.

This has been fixed in 1.16.0.
