Yes, using the save blocks triggers the in-game save feature of the game.
You don't need to do anything else to load the in-game saves, other than make sure the *.srm file is either in your defined saves folder or ROM folder (whatever your setup is) and make sure it's named the same as your SMRPG ROM, example:
smrpg.smc
smrpg.srm
And the save file should appear in the file select screen.
That being said, I'm going to go ahead and sticky this one.. it appears this is the most reported problem in ZSNES.

I believe bsnes plays the game with no freezing, if your computer can run that at a decent speed it's worth a shot.

Failing that, you can always use the latest version of snes9x
I've beat SMRPG several times on the latest snes9x on various ports (windows, wii, and linux w/ GTK GUI) and I didn't have problems other than the timed hits being a little off on the Wii version.

Turns out that even though I tried to make an effort to avoid this, the srm and the smc files were not in the same directory when I tried to play the game on snesgt or snes9x. Pretty simple issue, i feel silly for getting that wrong. Relocated everything correctly and it loaded the in-game save just fine. snesGT didn't have the Smithy issue i kept running into on zsnes. everything played perfectly; it certainly felt a lot smoother too, whereas it felt somewhat choppy (for the whole duration of my playing the game, beginning to end even when it wasn't during or near one of the problem areas) or something on ZSNES.
thanks for your patient, instructive/constructive reply.
hopefully this all gets fixed some day, but for now i'll probably just use snesGT. thanks. |

No problem, given you:
1) complained about a SA-1 game (even tho you took it to this thread)
and 2) for not reading the FAQ on saving
in all seriousness, I'm one of the more nicer people on this board.

Being lubed from the feet up sure helps.
