Save state question

Post by TenPoundHammer »

Total noob question I know... but I absolutely CAN NOT figure out how to save a savestate with the keyboard. There's a "saves" key in the Saves menu, but all that does is save a .spc, and the .spcs don't come up when I hit the load key. What am I doing wrong? How do I savestate with the keys?

ETA: Here's my setup:

If I hit A, it saves as a .spc. If I hit W, it goes back to an early savestate that I somehow got through. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?!?!

You likely have 2 things assigned to 1 key. Check the MISC KEYS menu, maybe.

Also, saved states are in ZST, ZS(1-9) or Z(10-99) files. An SPC is a dump of the audio chip RAM and state, for use with an SPC music player.
Maybe these people were born without that part of their brain that lets you try different things to see if they work better. --Retsupurae
