English Amiga Board - View Single Post - State-save issues

Hi,

triggered by a new attempt to play my old favourite The Surgeon again, I started to experiment with the state-save feature of WinUAE. WOW! That's what I call handy!

Anyway, I found three small issues. One is that if you have just loaded a state-save file, re-loading the same one again makes WinUAE crash.
The second is that you MUST use the same configuration you used when saving the game state, otherwise: bad luck!
WinUAE would just crash with a random configuration.
The last maybe isn't *that* important: without a kickstart you cannot load a savestate-file, seems this is because of copyright reasons because in theory, someone could just load a state, reset the machine and WALLA ... there's the kickstart! ;-)

A sample file is in the zone.
