I seem to be having trouble with saving. Err, perheps I should I elaborate a little on that. Okay, I think that problem is how I start up a game. To start them up, I drag the game into the ZSNES icon, thus causing it to load without the GUI menu... or is that supposed to happen? I've tried to use the 'load option', but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Also, when I try pressing "F2", it saves something like "saved to 0" or something. But it didn't save... I must sound totally ridiculous.

Dragging the rom onto the ZSNES icon is a very cumbersome way of loading a rom, especially if you have more than 100 games. I suggest you use the load menu, click the .. to go one directory up and search for a dedicated rom directory.

The easiest way to save in a game is to use the games built-in save function if it has one. Otherwise, using Save State and then Load State is the easiest way to do it.

For further information, consult the documentation, all of the above is explained there:

F2 Saves state, not the actual game itself, use F3 to pick / change states, F4 to load

Okay, I get it now. You must keep in mind that I am not a very computer/technollogy literate person, so this is probably the most complex thing I have ever done on a computer. Thank you very much for your assistance. Oh, if you are curious as to what the game is (and I doubt you are), it is Fire Emblem; Seisen ne Keifu. I've been trying to get my habds on it for avery long time. So anyways, thanks a bunch!
