zsnes win / xbox save file compatibility?

[slickdoody]

I'm new to the emulation world, so please forgive me if the answer to my question is obvious...

I've been playing thru FF3 in zsnes under windows. I saved my game and would like to pick up where I left off on my xbox. I have zsnes xbox 1.4 loaded on my xbox hard drive, but when I run FF3, it acts as if there are no save files, it just rolls thru the credits and into a new game.

Along with the emulator, I transferred all of my rom files including a FF3.zst, .srm, .zs1 and .zs2. Is that all I need? Do these files need to be in a different directory than the actual rom itself?

XBox needs it's save files stored somewhere special. I think it's documentation covers this.

All ZSNES ports use save states in the same format. Unless the XBox port has something broken, it should be fully compatible.

Awesome. Thanks so much for the help. I'll check the xbox port docs when I get home.

srm files go in the:

E:\ZsnexBox\sram folder

zst files go in the:

E:\ZsnexBox\save folder

Games can be anywhere. The game name must match the srm and zst file.
