Save states don't work #12

Open tdebug opened 1 year ago

tdebug commented 1 year ago

Memories / save state feature doesn't work for any game I tried. It saves but when you try to load it is always "loading failed".

I would like to add to this. I found that there are some games that work and some that don't.

Sonic the Hedgehog (SMS) works. Physic World (SMS) works. Castle of Illusion staring Mickey Mouse (gg renamed as sms) Does not work. Legend of Illusion (SMS) does not work. Sonic Chaos (SMS) Works. Wonder Boy (Original) SMS (Works) Wonder Boy III Dragon Quest (SMS) Does not work. Altered Beast (Does not load)

In my case it doesn't depend on any particular game, but it just works occasionally in any game I tried. For example, in "Sonic the Hedgehog" created states can be loaded roughly 50% of the time, so you never know if the created save will load or not. In the games you find it not working, just try to save multiple times during the game progression and see if at least some of the states will load.

In any case, this (and other?) cores from this developer seem to be long time abandoned, so this is what we get.
