I completely lost that 5 hour save Save states have always retained all memory, including what would go to the normal save file. But usually that normal save file is not touched except in the normal save menu (zSNES saved whenever the GUI was brought up, so this could cause problems if you loaded a save state.) Does the "load a save state" option not give you a confirmation option before loading it? --- There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".

TheDarkCircle 11/16/17 11:17:08 AM #10:	Godnorgosh posted... Uh, if you saved in the game itself, can't you obviously just boot the game up and start from where you saved? On the SNES classic, you save in game or use a save state or both. The save state comes particularly in handy on games that don't allow you to save in game. However, when you u save in game and a save state. If you use the save state and it's from an earlier progression point than where you were in game, it erases your progress in game. Not a problem if you have multiple save states, but if you don't you're SOL <cite>TheDarkCircle posted [p:890500405] in Snes class...
