Mupen64plus Ubuntu: Saves + Save States Folder?

I know this sounds like a stupid question but I have thoroughly searched for the save files and save states with no avail. I have checked the following folders:

/home/[user]/.mupen64plus (Does not exist)
/usr/share/mupen64plus/
/usr/lib/mupen64plus/

I have searched my entire computer for *.eep and *.st0 files with no hits. The weird thing is that mupen64plus is most certainly successfully creating and using both saves and save states. Where it is storing them, I don't know!

Please help!

Have you tried running ls -A ~ | grep '^\.' and poking through the results? I haven't run Linux+Mupen64 for a while, but I'd assume it must be somewhere in there if you're able to save when running Mupen as a non-root user. If nothing there looks like a likely candidate I'd also ls -A ~/.config and see if there's anything in there.

Don't worry though - obviously someone knows where the files are kept; I'm just making a suggestion on where to look until one of them comes along.

Thanks for the recommendation. The command "ls -A ~/.config" reminded me that I have checked the following folder:

~/.config/mupen64plus (this one does exist)

I forgot to list this folder. In any case, there are only plugin and config files there. No *.eep or *.st0 files. I've checked for hidden files too.

Hopefully somebody will be able to clarify where these files are being stored...

Hello,

Mupen64Plus 1.5 (the latest version from Ubuntu repos) stores its saves in ~/.local/share/mupen64plus/save

The saves and save states are there. Thanks for posting it.

Now I have two questions:
1) Where could I have found this information online or in some documentation in the absence of this forum? (surely it's written somehwere...)
2) Why would a (Gnome) search in my home folder (with hidden files shown) for "eep", ".eep", "st0" or ".st0" not return anything?

It would be nice to know this.

I have created a new wiki page here which explains all the details of where Mupen64Plus looks for various files:

I know this thing is horribly complicated and I don't really like it, but if I do anything to simplify it then someone will complain about their arcane configuration not working. So we're stuck with this complexity.
