(Help) How-to Save Games

[dezquerro]

Hi there!

I have been playing with the X68000 core and I find it awesome. Thanks for the great work.

Now, I am struggling a bit with the saving mechanism. I understand that I have to use the blank disk to store the saves but I can't figure it out.
I am playing Castlevania in HDF and when I create a new save or delete an old one, the changes are not committed once I reset or turn off the system.
I tried loading the game first using the HDF file and then loading the blank disk after that to FDD0. Then I would save the FDD0 to the SD card but to no avail.

Can anyone shed some light here? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks again.
Best,

D

I had this issue and realized my hdf files were zipped. Unzipping em solved the issue

I have just checked and my files are all hdf (uncompressed). What process do you follow to save your games in this core? Do they just save automatically?
Thanks again!

Yeah, @dezquerro I'm not sure what @willsy32 is talking about.

Saving does not work with .hdf files. Pretty sure it's a limitation of the core, as I've already confirmed this with numerous other users. Doesn't matter if they're already extracted from zip.
