SNES freeze state error

[seph]

Well I had an error with RC3 when I tried to open the freeze state for my quick load. So I instead opened the regular freeze save #1 I had made, and it worked. Then I saved Over the quick save, and now both the new quick save and freeze state #1 give the same error as the previous freeze state! Did I just lose all my data and ruin both freeze state games!? Or is there a way to retreive the states (hopefully)

Without more information, this could be a variety of things. Perhaps the card's FAT is corrupted. Save the card's contents to the computer hard drive, then format the card. Restore the contents and try again. This may not gain back the save-states, but should allow new save-states to be error-free. If this is a game with battery saves too, try loading from there.

It would be helpful to indicate the exact wording of the error message, and which game and module is being used.

I had save state errors. Like 2 in my entire year-and-a-half using LJP. Seems to be happening too much with you though. Might be your card... try formatiing it, then chkdsk (or scandisk).

I have this problem, however it's a little different, on my SONY Clie NX80V, if I try to load ANY LJP save for games, it will freeze up, and the only way to get around this is to lunch the game normally, when it finishes loading the game, then load the save.

That's a known bug with RC3. It happens on the TX too (not device dependant). Reverting to the RC2 launcher will fix this problem (you can still use RC3 zems if you want).

The first thing I did was revert to RC2 and when loading either saves it Still gives the error: "File not in Snes9x freeze f..." which is all it shows on the screen.

Does this help anybody?

Yes; that only happens to me when I use a freeze not created with the current zem file Did you happen to create it using RC3?

[seph]

Indeed. Then I switched to RC2 to try to fix it, but it will still give the same error. Now will switching to the older .zem files for RC2 fixthis, or not? Or is there no difference between the two .zem versions?

If you create the save state using RC2, you should be able to restore; if you create it using RC3, you might have problems.
