Hi guys.

Hi, this is my first post, I read the rules but some of them don't particularly understand, so apologies if I do anything wrong at this early stage

Right, I just upgraded versions to 1.51 and on version 1.48 (I think), I got very far on A Link to the Past. I have the A Link to the Past ROM file up and running in the new version, but I was just wondering how and if I can get the data onto the new version, so as not to have to start again

Thanks very much for the emulator and the many pieces of advice I have read from this great community over the past months

Thank you

1.42 most likely, not 1.48

If you used in-game saves for saving, you can just copy the corresponding .srm file to wherever 1.51 stores saves. However, if you used save states, it is very likely that they won't work properly when moved between different versions.

Cheers mate, do you think I could just open the state on the old emulator, save it in-game, then find the .srm files in the right place, then copy it over to 1.51?

I have two different versions on my HD you see

Yes. That should do nicely.

I would make a copy of the SRM file, personally...

Right, I can't find the .srm file. I have 1.4something and my roms all on a single CD, would the .srm file be saved on my HD or on the disc?

All my roms are in compressed folders, with just the file for the game inside them. I tried putting the 1.51 version on my PC, but found it difficult to get the roms across and get them to run. Is there a tutorial I could use?

Or, the question I'm really asking is, is it particularly necessary to upgrade to 1.51?

Sorry for the hassle, but I really can't ask anyone or anywhere else

It's a waste of space to do duplication, even though it is an option. A better option though is to make both ZSNES versions point to the same save directory, which is generally optimal.

How might I go about doing that

Config->Paths and enter in the entire path that stores all the saves+savestates. This shouldn't be rocket science if you RTFM.

It should be common sense.

I've asked that so many times. It's really the only answer for some of the posts, but... how can they use the 'net without reading?

Exactly. The problem for most issues can be resolved by reading the manual. It saves wasted time asking others to tell you to do it.

If you ask a question that isn't answer in the manual, that's one thing, but clearly you haven't demonstrated that since it is answered there. If it were unclear, that would be a different issue, but it is unapplicable here.

Screenreaders. Seriously, some of them are friggin miraculous feature-wise.
