SMS_SDL SRAM saves not working
« on: January 26, 2015, 06:44:26 am »
I've been playing a little bit of Golden Axe Warrior on SMS_SDL, but it seems like I can't keep my saves. I save the game, but when I come back later, it's gone. (This is using the ordinary, in-game SRAM save.) When I look in the ROMs folder, the save is there. It's just not loading it for some reason?

What happens when you bring up the menu and select Load State?

There's a saved state there, but it doesn't seem to be related, because when I tried saving again into the second slot, it didn't appear when I reloaded the save.

Does this happen for all games, or just Golden Axe? Perhaps it's game specific.

Golden Axe Warrior is the only SMS/GG game I know of that uses saves, but I can find another one and try it.

Phantasy Star has saves.

SMS_SDL would require a "revision"...  among other things, it has the "auto-save screenshots issue": everytime that you are playing a game and you go to the menu, the screenshot of latest frame is automatically saved in the ROMs folder (this function should be disabled or it should be set as optional).

I just tested Golden Axe Warrior in Genesis Plus GX and in game saving and loading works perfectly.

I have no idea what the problem may have been then. Every game I have saves and loads just fine.
