Saving your game

[niceguy006]

how are you supposed to save on a rom?

[DrKupo]

What game, emulator, system

[GundamGuy]

For most emulators.. there are two or more ways...
you can save at any time in the game that you normaly could in the real game.. and it saves just like normal...

Or you can use Save States.. which lets you save at any time..

[niceguy006]

How do you save your state with NESticle, Legend of Zelda, NES?

[Joker]

Word of advice don't use Nesticle lol. Try Zsnes it alot better in my opinion it says when you open the menu savestate and open or pick stae too. Download it it's alot better the Nesticle in my opinnion.

Nesticle is a NES emulator though, and ZSNES is a SNES one so err... I don't think they're really comparable?

And with NESticle, press the F5 key (I think..) to save your state, and the F7 key to load... You may need to check under the file menu and edit the directory that the game saves to...

LOL sorry lost my mind for a second try the fceu.exe to save a state press f5 or open the menu to load it press f7 and if you just press the numbers it will show a little number sequence representing the 10 savestates you may have. per game

How do I edit the directory that the game saves to?

Why should you change the directory? There is no need of doing that :\

Snes9x is really better for Snes roms... it got a really good configuration and can run any roms and have it all

[Howie]

SNES9X gave me so much problems with my roms, so I changed into ZSNES and it works perfectly.

For NES, I reccomned Nesticle. Kinky name

[niceguy006]

Okay, ALL I CARE ABOUT NOW IS NES ROMS!!!!!!!!!! Now how do I make it so it saves? Every time I press F5 is just says "Cannot open the file C://blah/blah/blah". Now will someone PLEASE help me out???

[Coolvortex]

C:\blah blah ?? Can you tell us the exact location?

[Roux!]

Whew! OK now, I don't use Nesticle nor FCEU, but I can tell you every emulator comes with a help file (usually "readme.txt"). In it, you can find answers to basic questions, such as:

How to save your game through an .SRM, etc. file.
How to make state saves.
How to load state saves.
Shortcuts to saving/loading state files.
How to change directories.

And a long "etc."...
Also, there's usually an option for saving/loading state save files under the "File" menu, when running the emulator. And there's also an "Options" or "Config" menu too, where you can configure your emulator settings...

That should help... :\

Thanks, Black Mage. Now, it didn't really say "C://blah blah blah," it says, and I quote, "Unable to open
C:\spel\8-bit\save\zelda.sta" Okay???
