Saving WHDload start-up options

vroom6sri · 05 June 2022, 16:24

I've read through the FAQs and guide to see if there is a way that the last selected start-up options for a game can be retained for the next time you load it up but couldn't find anything.

I think my explanation is a bit rubbish but what I'm referring to is, for example, when you load up Putty Squad you can select things like your starting level. It would be great if the next time you load it up it would remember the values for those options from the last time you loaded it.

Is that already possible?

Just checked it with Hard 'n Heavy and it remembers the options that you set (including the starting level). Maybe it depends on the slave if it is saved?

The game should be unpacked permanently as a folder, then it works fine for every WHDLoad game. Any chance that you use a frontend that unpacks lha/zip files at the start? Or maybe your file protection bit for "writable" isn't enabled in your game icon?

Thanks, both. I have been using igames to find and launch the game. If I launch the game directly from its icon the options are retained at next load (even if the next time I load via igames).
