Banjo kazooie: grunty's revenge and grand theft auto advance can't save properly #41

Open bomba1749 opened 3 years ago

When you try to save these games, it doesn't work. With grunty's revenge, it freezes when you try to save, with grand theft auto advance it tells you something like "the save is corrupted, you cannot save.

It's a known problem that save type detection fails for many games. This is why #9 exists.

In the meantime if you are willing to compile yourself you can add the proper save types to this override list.

Ok, would it be possible for the override list to be stored as a file separate from open_agb_firm? That way, people would be able to make games work, without needing to know how to compile.

Possible? Yes. But not ideal. Would be very slow this way if you cram thousands of games into this list. For a few games it might be fine. Still would prefer using the save type db over this. Progress on the db is 1800 games currently out of over 2900.
