Can you save in split screen co-op in 2.2.8

I was playing co-op with my brother and found that none of our progress had saved do you guys know if we can save our data or no?

No, you can't, but you can go back to the stage, but no stuff like score, Chaos Emeralds, ect.

to get your progres saved you must have a save file that is fully completed but you won't have the emeralds and the score

basically beat the game on your own to get the levels

To put it simply:
Saving in multiplayer modes is disabled, splitscreen being one of those things. The only exception to my knowledge is SRB2 Top-Down. However, choosing a Sonic & Tails file (or using a file with two characters) allows you to save your progress, at the cost of having one camera.

The Sonic & Tails option, contrary to what some may think, does support co-op using Player 2's controls. However, there are a few quirks with this option, being that you can take control of the bot using P2's controls, Player 2 will respawn (as a bot) near Player 1 if they go too far, and Player 2's controls are relative to Player 1's camera. This is mentioned directly in Sonic & Tails' character selection text.

The other option requires modifying the source code, as SRB2TD did. I'm not an expert in source code modification, however, so I don't think it would be an easy feat.
