Help me save.

Post by Dominoko »

I was playing Donkey Kong Country on version 1.51 and it didn't save my progress. I saved in game but when I went to play later it wasn't there. Now I read the FAQ on saving and all that but I just don't understand. How do I save my game?

Donkey Kong Country saves your current progress each time you visit Candy Kong. You can also create a savestate by pressing F2 anytime you want.

However, if the directory that ZSNES uses for save files is marked as Read Only (if default paths are used, ZSNES creates saves in the same directory where the main executable is), then obviously both savestate creation and the in-game save creation in this directory will fail.

Oh I figured it out. Saving with Candy didn't work that's why I came here. Hitting F5 didn't have anything to do with saving but it did motivate me to press all the other ones. F3 chooses a save state and F2 saves. Thank you Agozer.

just FYI, F4 loads the state.
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?
