I'm not sure if this is a bug or just me, so I'm looking for input.
When I specify my folder for save files, it doesn't work. I have to pick something that doesn't use any folder name with spaces and or special characters in it to work.
In my case, this is the default path:

C:\Documents and Settings\Karth & Kryona\Desktop\1964099_20030925\1964_099\save\
Checking the Use Defaut: $1964.exe\save or not doesn't matter. It still won't save to that folder.
If I specify that it save to c:\save
it works fine. anyone else have this behavior? The plugin folder works fine with the long directory structure etc.

I have my save folder set to C:\Juegos\Emulators\Nintendo 64\Save\ and probs here.

The problem is the & character. Just created a folder named "a &" and file saves i created went to nowhere (they just vanished). Other symbols i have tested that won't work: %, $, #

Thanks for testing, I'm glad it's reproduceable. My only concern is that the plugin folder works fine with the same directory structure.
