State Saving

[keiha]

If I save state and resume later, by loading state. If my character does anything like, go through a door, the game freezes. Whats up? How do I fix this, is there anyway to save your game on this? I want to play Crono Trigger, but I can't because it freezes after saving state and you can't save games.

this will only help if you are using firmware 2.6... and "Brown Ale" (because that's what i'm using)

the release of Brown Ale had a flaw... one syscall glitched preventing snes9xtyl from ever acknowledging you had anything other than "low battery" (which then disables all saving functions).

there is a file gta260.nid you need to download (go to this page for more info on the "patches" dl.qj.net/eLoader-Brown-Ale-Configuration-Update-02-23-06-Gaming-Consoles-PSP/pg/12/fid/5047/catid/114)

this will enable the emu to correctly take notice that the battery ISN'T low... and allow people with 2.6+brown ale+snes9xtyl 0.3 to save. i say that because i have it, so i know it works... anything else, then i don't know.

edit: nevermind... although it ALLOWS me to save (and there is a file for it), it won't pick up the save, like i never created a save.

Nah, its 1.5..I don't understand. Can this emulator save state or not?

[prettzv]

On 1.0 and 1.5 it can. anything farther adn I don't know. SRAM is a different case though.

[keiha]

Then why does it freeze when I load state? I load state and in earthbound for example, if I am in the arcade and I go out through the door, it freezes during the load time.

did you change the sound settings between save states?

this probly has to do with your sound settings. you probly by default have your sound on but on your save state have the sound off so when you go through a door the game crashes... while the screen is black, try changing the sound settings and you should be able to continue the game.

Woot I found a fix, what you told me didn't work. I went onto the frozen game, then went to restart (Current Game) and then it showed my save file. Woot

If you ever turn off SPC700 emulation and save you can't re-enable it. You need to reset the whole console.
