I’m not sure about the zero file size. Maybe it’s zero kilobytes because it’s less than a single kilobyte?
It might be a file permissions issue since this just happened to me with Mario Kart 64 (right after I got the final gold cup on the last 150cc circuit too!). I don’t know exactly how it happened (user error somewhere, I’m sure), but changing the file ownership back to the pi user fixed it.
Drop down to a terminal (F4, or ssh in) and change directory to your where your ROM and .SRM file are located, then do:
sudo chown pi [name of game].*
Let us know if that solves it.
