Zsnes won't read older savestates, battery saves, patches.
I think this is a problem on my side because surely otherwise I would've seen twenty threads about it already. I don't know where else to put this though.
The latest WIP won't read any savestates, battery saves or ips patches anymore. It's as if the files aren't there. I don't know what version had this problem occuring first, because I haven't really played any games more than 5 minutes at a time since 1.40 was released.
So far I've tried deleting the config files, checking whether the rom and zst/srm/ips names matched perfectly, checking whether they were marked read only (although that shouldn't have any influence on reading them?), I've tried redownloading the latest WIP altogether, I've tried downloading a new rom + ips patch (Bahamut Lagoon (J) [!], and Dejap's patch, and it didn't work) and I've also tried to just make some new savestates and battery saves, and Zsnes would read those, but that doesn't solve the ips problem. And my old saves (both states and sram) are still gone.
Oh and, I'm on win2k, in case you wanna know.
Any takers?

Is the save path pointing to the correct location?

Ah. Don't I feel stupid. Yeah, that was it.
Although, the reason the savepath was blank was because of me deleting the config files trying to counter the problem in the first place. And it's always pointed to the right directory before, there wasn't any reason for me to change it.
Doesn't matter now though. Thanks.

i have same problem - i hape .ips files in save directory (for example /mnt/dos_f/Emulators/SNES/save ) but when i start game emulator doesn't load ips file - Bahamut Lagoon still japanese. If ips in rom directory it works, but roms and patches in same directory - not quite good idea for some reasons.
P.S. Feature request - patches directory support. It will be very good idea to use separate directory for patches.

You should have no problems putting the IPS patches in the "SAVE" directory that you should have defined.. (the save directory is where all the .srm and .zst files go, it also needs to be defined...)
You also may want to try deleting the .dat+.cfg files in your ZSNES directory and run ZSNES again (and then change the directory save patch in the .cfg file afterwards)

Don't spread wrong info:
DOS - Win ports -> put your IPS files in the Save directory.
SDL port -> put your IPS files in the ROM directory.

Does your experience include setting your save path to be the same as your ROM path?Mexandrew wrote:Well, What I said is based on my own experience =)
