Save-State and Load State don't work

29 November 2002, 22:39

I tried to save state in many games and it's doesn't work... Never... I got a freeze.
It's normal ?

Actually, it's doesn't work with the rom 3.1 but work with the rom 1.3
it's that ?

Oups sorry. Works with a 68000 but don't work with 68020+FPU
Save-state doesn't work with all processor ??

My save take 535 mo when i save with A1200 rom 3.1 AGA !!!!
Something wrong !!
Help !

Ok. Apparently, something's wrong with the JIT.
I can save with no problem on 68000, 68010, 68EC020 and 68EC020+FPU.
If i take 68020 or more, it's freeze.

I had the more than 500 meg save-state file problem.
I don't know why it happened; the save-state function saves the amount of memory into a file, then it should not be bigger than 3 or 4 meg, maybe more depending on your RAM settings, usually 1 meg for most floppy games.
My advice is to be very careful with your settings, and to load the proper config BEFORE loading a save state.

To use the save state/load state option, you have to limit the emulator to processors up to 68EC020, with up to 2MB chip RAM, no fast RAM, no Zorro III RAM. It doesn't matter what ROM you use (I've had Cannon Fodder and Uridium 2 running on KS 3.0/3.1 with these settings). Basically, emulate a bog standard A500/A600, and you shouldn't run in to problems.

you can save with all the memory but the save take 11mo.
But now it's work fine if i take no more than 68EC020+FPU.

Your five posts in a row will make such threads very complicated to read for others, not in this case, but just imagine a Thread with more than 50 posts

Im having Save State probs aswell. Certain games will save fine (Chaos Engine) while some wont (XMas Lemmings) any ideas why?

I thougt the savestate is just a copy of the emulator configuration and the emulated ram ?

+ state of custom chip-registers + floppy drives + CIA-registers + CPU registers and more..

Make sure fast ram is disabled (I found yet another fast ram restore bug yesterday..) and fpu is disabled. (fpu state is not supported yet)
