SameBoy does not make multiple saves in Linked Mode #75

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

I spent about an hour trying to set up SameBoy initially, where the information is difficult to find for whatever reason. I linked the game and saved it on both instances but it saved both to the same file, resulting in the first save game being deleted.

I read the docs here and it mentions something about a "Single cart dual mode" but doesn't show a screenshot of said option. I've looked through every related menu, and it does not exist.

Either this function never existed, or it's been removed in some version, and the doc hasn't been updated. This needs to be resolved.

I've experienced this too. The 2 instances of the game just end up overwriting the same file. The docs are apparently outdated too. I'd really like to see this resolved.

This is still an issue, "Single cart dual mode" is gone from the menu. I have tried both, running from CLI and the GUI and that setting is nowhere to be found.

Because of this missing setting, the core doesn't create a second save file for the second player, which is an issue for several games. It shares a single file for both players and only saves whatever the second player has done when closing.
