ZSNES board

wtf? really? I've never had any problems with super mario rpg with 1.51... that's just friggin weird... crazy question, but what operating system are you using? vista does some strange things to me regarding saves sometimes, but xp seems perfectly ok, as does ubuntu. I'm using Windows XP to run ZSN...

I figured out the solution. For some reason, the current version of ZSNES has issues with Super Mario RPG. I downloaded version 1.42 and I was able to do an ingame save. Some freezing problems I encountered were also fixed when I used the older version. Once again, I thank everyone for their help.

I think for now I will just use the save state as my save file for Super Mario RPG, since it's working for me. Thank you for your help everyone, and I'm sorry if I've inconvenienced anyone. Now, I think I will go play SSBB before I return to Super Mario RPG .

Okay, I tried making a save state using the current location of my files, and it worked. So why can ZSNES make save state files properly but it has trouble making game save files, or does the ability to store save states differ too much from storage of game saves?

I think I might have thought of something else that might affect ZSNES' ability to create .srm save files. If ZSNES is located in a read-only folder, will it be unable to create .srm game save files? If not, then where on Windows XP would be a good default read/write folder or drive to direct ZSNES ...

EDIT: I tried it, but it didn't work. Either I entered the path wrong How exactly did you enter it? I entered E:\ into Config -> Path, but nothing happened after I saved at the save point in game and then quit. And as for the read/write directories, are there any particular ones that you would reco...

Now that I'm thinking about it, can ZSNES create .srm files and save them to a USB Memory Stick, or can it only create save files for Read-only folders? ZSNES will create the files if and only if it is able to have full read/write access in the folder. Otherwise, you will experience this with other...

Now that I'm thinking about it, can ZSNES create .srm files and save them to a USB Memory Stick, or can it only create save files for Read-only folders?

Thank you for all your help. I think I'll just not use ZSNES because I don't feel comfortable messing with my computer's coding just to play a game. Oh well, I'll just have to wait for Nintendo to release Super Mario RPG on the virtual console in order to play it.

Yeah, I'm using an Admin profile, since I only have one profile on my computer. However, every time I uncheck Read Only in the general tab, it rechecks itself every time I go back to the file. Do I need to change anything on my computer to keep it from doing this?

I did set the folders, but like I said above, they just keep getting set back to read-only. How do I fix this?

Here is the new data of my rom: This is the info for the last game you ran. File: SUPER MARIO RPG.smc Header: No SUPER MARIO RPG TYPE:SA-1 INTERLEAVED:No CHKSUM:OK VIDEO:NTSC BANK:Lo CRC32:1B8A0625 I just turned off the read only on my ZSNES and SNES RPG files, but it still didn't produce a .srm fil...

Yes, I have SRAM check+save enabled. I'm soory to seem computer illiterate, but how do you chack to see if the save directory is read-only and how do you change it?

Alright, I got a better rom, but I'm still not able to do in game saves. Is there anything else that could prevent ZSNES from creating .srm files?

Thanks for the info. I'll try to get a better rom and see if that corrects the problem. Sorry for including the site, I was simply pasting what the text file said.

Well, I found this text document called rominfo in my ZSNES folder. Here is what it says: This is the info for the last game you ran. File: SuperMarioRPG.smc Header: No Evil ROM Site TYPE:SA-1 INTERLEAVED:No CHKSUM:FAIL VIDEO:NTSC BANK:Lo CRC32:241772DB BAD ROM Could this be the reason why it is not...

I'm sorry, but that didn't work either. The folder still has no .srm for Super Mario RPG. Could the quality of the rom affect ZSNES' ability to create save files?

Okay, I'll see if that works. Thank you.

I'll give you the path directory so you can see if it is too long or not:

C:\Documents and Settings\(Login Name)\My Documents\ZSNES\SNES RPG\

Is this too long, or should it be shortened?

The .srm file was still not created. Is there anything else I can do to fix the problem?

Alright, I will try that later and see if it works. Thank you. I'll let you know if the problem persists.

I'm using version 1.51. Also, both the rom and emulator are saved on my computer. I have all of my ZSNES files in a folder named ZSNES, and the SNES RPG Folder that I created is within the ZSNES folder.

I am using the most recent version of ZSNES, so I don't think the version is the problem.

Hey I'm having problems saving Super Mario RPG. Every time I save it in game, the ZSNES won't create a .srm file for Super Mario RPG. I have my rom on my computer in a folder named SNES RPG, so I expected ZSNES to create a .srm file in that folder since the readme states that save files are made and...
