suspend to disc

A suspend to disc and later resume feature like VirtualBox has would be cool.

When playing games with many disks or an pausing a workbench session this would be useful imo.

Hi gilgamesh,

isn't a savestate exactly that? I might miss something here, but with a savestate you make a snapshot of the current system state and save it tothe HD.

yes, sounds great! Is that a new feature? how do you do that?

TCD · 08 January 2009, 23:46

Savestates are a quite old feature, but they are a bit 'hidden'

Go to the 'Miseallaneous' window and there you find the 'Load state...' and 'Save state...' buttons. I hope this is what you are looking for

I'm not near my Windows-PC and e-uae doesn't respond to F12+F5.

I'm sure that answers my question, anyway. Thanks

I hope someone does know how to use them with e-uae. It should have that feature too

Several people have found that it's broken, me included, something in the keyboard handling of the Linux version prevents e-uae from recognising the key combination, Richard has said he will fix it when he has time. The original UAE does does not have this problem as it includes load/save state buttons in the GUI.
