Save State Help on Mario RPG

Post by Killah Bee »

Hi, y'all. This is mah first post here, heh-heh. I love love love Mario RPG, and I've been working on it on-and-off for a few years, until the other day, I randomly decided to Load a Saved State. Not fully knowing how it worked, I saw Mario in a forest level I had done already and thought it was a different file. But when I reset and went back to the main file menu, I realized that I had loaded the last time I saved a state like two years ago! And it's that way every time I go! Is there any way to get my progress back??

SA-1 games such as Super Mario RPG do not work properly in the latest version of zsnes.

If you must use a savestate, go to an older version of zsnes. Otherwise, I recommend using the regular in-game saves, which can be used by other emulators which provide better SA-1 emulation.

But more to the point of your problem, what happened is that you loaded up a savestate that overwrote your in-game save. Basically, you are boned.

Or post in colored text. Sweet merciful Granas, that's annoying.
