I've only had zsnes for a couple of days, but I kinda ran into a problem. I've been playing some games almost non stop since I got zsnes, and have just found that all my saves were delted since I played last (about three hours ago) please help.

Have you deleted any file in the folder were you keep your roms?

Um.. it would be helpful which games you are referring to..

It is best you run those ROMs through NSRT.. because more likely than not, you may be obtained bad ROM dumps (which may or may not have trainers) that cause problems with saving.

Hmm, I think he was abusing savestates, and then loaded up an earlier savestate.

Well I did have a problem with 2 of my roms automatically being deleted when I played, Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3. I'm just speculating, but mabye it had something to do with changing the roms' icons from program type to readable type. I somehow did this while trying to load the game through the "right click open commands" instead of loading through zsnes. That's all I can remember doing to mabye changing my SRM save files.

What you are doing are probably causing problems... you need to be using ZSNES and loading the files... other methods cause problems. Please elaborate on those SRM save files.. those files keep the saves you are talking about. Deleting, moving, and/or renaming them will cause you to "lose" said save games. You are not supposed to load SRM files directly anyways.. just the ROM files.

well, it looks like the problem fixed itself, cuz they're back. I can't think of anything I did differently, but thanks for the help anyway

Do you mean that you downloaded the .srm files or something, ot was it generated by ZSNES. If you got it elsewhere, make sure that it has the same name as your rom, eg. "Metroid.SMC" and "Metroid.SRM"
