No they didn't. I dunno what you think happened, but it's simply not possible to attach spyware to a SNES ROM image. They were batched in a ZIP file. I didn't scan it before extraction, and the file ended up loading all sorts of horrible things onto my computer. And yes, it was a -very- lame ROM si...

Mostly RPGs such as Final Fantasy, mainly because I have yet to get the USB adapter for a SNES controller, and am thus relegated to a keyboard. Also, most of the SNES games I want I already own "for reals," the Final Fantasies being amongst the only ones I don't.

Apologies for bumping this, but I found out what the problem was after re-reading this, and thought providing the answer might help anyone else trying to keep saves for this game. I looked at creaothceann mentioning SRAM again, and Gil_Hamilton stating that FF6 does not use SRAM. Well, I opened up t...

Well, I've found and used a v 1.0 file (CRC32 is A27F1C7A, checksum OK), but it also lost save game files due to those PAR codes. Poop. Actually, this download has so many different versions of the ROM, unzipped the total size of all the .smcs is over 250 MB. I wonder why it's doing this if FF3 does...

Ugh, yeah, because I tried using some Game Genie codes instead (they write to Cxxxxx instead of 7xxxxx, I guess; I do not like GG codes), and they are not erasing the save game files. Only the PAR codes do this. So it seems to be the way this game is interacting with that range of memory. Crap, so I...

Yeah, it's also occuring on snes9x, crossing multiple emulators.

So it's the codes themselves? I wouldn't have guessed that, since it didn't seem to matter what strings I was entering in. Alright, I'll try some other strings and see if it keeps giving me the same problem.

I don't -believe- so; I have "Auto Load .cht file at startup" turned off at the moment. It's that actual act of entering a string, any string, into the Add Code menu that sets this off. These are PAR codes. I'm sorry, I forgot to include which sample strings I'm using :/. It's 7E1869 63, a...
