Save path

[Pochodnia]

I know, that this may be asked frequently, but I don't know how to set the save path -.-
I wrote the path where he should load and save, but when I tested it, but Zsnes created a srm file in the same folder as the rom was, and didn't load from where it should have.

I use the newest version of Zsnes (1.51).

I have looked in the manual, but it didn't help me. I even looked a little in this board for other one that have the same problem as me but I didn't found one.

Are you sure you typed the save path in Config --> Paths properly, i.e. X:\PATH\TO\SAVES

Yeah, first I thought that I made a mistake. Then I copied the path from the explorer. So I don't think that the path is now wrong.

The path is: C:\Multimedia\Roms\SNES\Saves

how are you launching zsnes?

if you're using a shortcut or association that doesn't set the working directory properly, the location that zsnes looks for the config file will be indeterminate and can lead to such issues.

Also, did you modify the config file directly, or did you modify the path from within zsnes?

You should be able to modify the path from within the GUI. Type in the path you want and restart the program. It won't recognize the path until you do.

I tried both. Shortcut and the exe (direct). Both didn't work. And I configured the path by GUI. Not by editing the config file.

What version of Windows, and what's the zsnes path?

some times adding trailing double back-slash helps.

my zsnesw.cfg was like this:

Code: Select all

...
; Save states & SRAMs, snapshots, SPCs
SRAMPath="D:\\GAMES\\Emu\\Snes\\saves\\"
....

the .srm was saved/created at intended directory.

I just opened the zsnesw.cfg with the notepad. First I opened after I changed the file to a txt file. The path was correct when I checked it up. But now I opened it with a right click and found that the save path was "C:MultimediaRomsSNESSaves\\" and changed it to "C:\\Multimedia\\Roms\\SNES\\Saves\\" and now it loads. Thx to u all.
