Saving Role Playing Games

feeds@yuku.com (Eccentricity2) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:57:52 GMT

I installed the emulator but when I try saving Dragon Warrior, everything is lost when I reboot the computer. I saved with the king as usual. Do I need to save state under CPU as well? How do I set this up to work?

StarFox on the Super Famicom

feeds@yuku.com (DamienFox) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:17:04 GMT

I love this game so much, due to it being the first game I ever played. I wish I would have been old enough to have been able to enter the StarFox Super Weekend Competition, but alas, I was only 4 :( but, all in all, I love this game, and it was one of the "First" 3D mapped polygon games ever, which adds some to it's awesome-ness, and it has Foxes, what's not to like? :) The only thing that I can find that is a drawback to this game, is it having a SuperFX chip in it. That...

Suggestion

feeds@yuku.com (jpcline004) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 23:05:30 GMT

I think you should include Nestopia among your NES emulators. It has high compatibility and really good FDS support.

Also, your version of MAME is extremely outdated. A lot of the roms available now won't work with that older version. And I don't just mean newer games, I mean that most older games have been redumped and won't work with the older mame versions

My other suggestion is, you should come
