English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Longer gameplays.. saving state (or other trick) on a real Amiga?

reezo · 19 December 2021, 16:05

Hello everyone and thanks for having me here,

I am having a lot of fun playing games on my "new" Amiga 1200 (Vampire v1200 v2, 32GB CF) but some games are just too long for my game sessions (and this is absolutely normal, as it used to be

).

I am currently using WHDLoad with iGame but I am open to any possibility..

basically something like D/Generation is a bit too long for me to play in one go (I know, I should free more time

) so I was wondering if there is any trick or method to save the state of a game that technically does not have a state. I wish I could skip to a certain room/level but in some games it seems just not possible.

I could easily achieve this in WinUAE, (at least more easily) but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it on a real Amiga.

I've searched but could not find any specific answer to this.. maybe the hardcore real Amiga way is to just dedicate x hours to a game, as we used to do it in the good ol' days

Thanks!
