ZSNES board

i need savestates because i can't play for very long at a time (usually only about 15 mins and then i have to study). besides, i find them much more convenient than running to a save spot...SO THERE!

OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH, RAGE, YOU'RE A LIFESAVER!!! (literally, i won't be able to beat chrono trigger without a savestate :D)

ah, yes, i think joe's got my problem...but how do i redirect the savestate saves?

my saving problem isn't related to a particular ROM, it won't save state for any ROM...but here are my system specs if it'll help:

Sony VAIO
Pentium III w/ 650 MHz
127 MB RAM

i recently formatted my computer and now my zsnes is unable to save state of the ROMs. before i reformatted, everything was fine, but now it can't save, even after i redownloaded zsnes. help!
