Save disk question

diablothe2nd · 09 April 2013, 18:16

I've just tried playing Cannon Fodder (FLT release) and it doesn't include a save disk.

is there a way to add one or at least have the db create one? I've tried adding one myself but it doesn't seem to be persistent between restarts of FSuae

Did you enable writable floppies? Take a look here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=68219

Did you check out the save-state feature of fs-uae? It is much easier to save a game state.

floppy write is enabled.

yep saves states work but it would be handy to still be able to use a save disk for swapping between emulators and real amigas though

EDIT - then there's the fact that i dont wanna cheat and save halfway through a level

I'll create a new variant that includes the save disk from TOSEC tomorrow

Please vote this one higher than the one without the save disk once you've tested/played it for a bit.

FS-UAE Launcher automatically adds a save disk to the floppy image list before starting FS-UAE. This disk should be usable as save disk in Cannon Fodder, but you need to use the "format" option in Cannon Fodder before saving for the first time

Thought that the extended ADF format might have been a problem. Good to know that the format option takes care of that
