    Update: I fixed the save issue by right-clicking on the Sonic Riders folder in Program Files (I used the suggested windows 10 installation location), going into properties, then security and enabling Full Control. I also right clicked on the exe launcher for sonic riders and selected Run as Administrator. Chat GPT was a great help in figuring this out.

    After a lot of attempts, I managed to mount the BIN file of the game by using UltraISO. I used the Mega version of the ROM zip. I followed the rest of the steps listed here and got the game to work. I’m also using Borderless Gaming to run it full screen. My current problem is that I can’t find a way to save my progress from being erased after each time exiting the game. The Save folder containing Config.ini doesn’t seem to update. Any suggestions? I’ll post back here if I find a way to fix this

    Hi! It looks like I’ve done everything I should have but I’m not able to copy and paste SonicRiders.exe to the mounted game folder… It says I don’t have enough space on the virtual disk and I’m not able to expand it. Is there anything I can do?
