I'll bite.

Hopefully you have been using regular in-game saves.

If you were saving with save-states, chances are they are damaged so they will do you no good.

Have you tried returning to that point from your last savepoint?

Edit.- Post your ROM Info.

I'm forgetting if that is the RPGOne translation.. because the font hurts my eyes.

If you are using it, you should be using the latest version anyways.

Sorry guys..like i said i'm new to all this stuff i just got the emulator and rom few days ago and didnt care about all this settings and stuff as long as the game works perfect,and it did until now

where can i see the rom info

i mean when i load the rom i see this

final fantasy 6

Interleaved: No

Video: NTSC

Bank:Hi

Type: Normal

CHKSUM: Fail

CRC32: 6D6D1661

is that it?

and yeah i've been using "save state" a lot since this game has lack of save points..but don't get me wrong i use save points as long as i see one,its just that i rarely see them in the game

It sounds to me that you're using an old hard patched version of the game. You need to actually have the original and get the latest translation.

An updated version of the translation can be found @ romhacking.net. However, we cannot tell you where to find the game/ROM that is unpatched.

well if i get te new rom can i use my old save or i'll have to start new game??

You should be able to use your old save, but probably not likely your savestate.

Thanks...and the last question,how am i suppose to know if the new rom is "correct"??

Deathlike2 · Post by **Deathlike2** » Sat Dec 26, 2009 4:06 am

The new ROM is correct when it has a good checksum when unpatched.

Yea.. i got the good rom now but unfurtunately it wont allow me to use my old saves..and that really sucks,but thanks anyway tho!

It isn't that bad with save points. Remember, you can save on the overworld.

He changed games, so unless you want a bugged out save game, I don't think taking one from FF6 and using it in FF3 will work.

franpa, I suggest you stick to getting a clue.

A save would work, between different versions of the game, but there can be some side effects to that.

It'll work if they didn't change the RAM format.
I suppose the only thing to do is to back up the FF6 save and then rename it to match the FF3 ROM.
(back up the FF6 save first, because on the chance it isn't compatible, FF3 will probably nuke it)
Of course, you'll probably have to put up with glitched names.
