save state utility in vgs?

thasugi · January 16th, 2002

hi guys,

i just wondering if vgs can use external program so as vgs can have save state function (like epsxe). vgs can have gameshark-enable fuction using pec, and now what about save state?

just an idea..

There is such a thing, although i believe it's only for the mac version. It's somewhere in the ngemu downloads.

There used to be a generic save state program for DOS....it was a bit buggy though, AFAIK....anyways I wish there would be something like that for windows

You should be able to find them in VGS/Memcard tools section.

Save state in VGS????:confused:

Oh I understand you need to save at any time any place you want in a game like ePSXe.... I am afraid I don't know such program/add-ons for VGS.

There is a japanese SaveState tool for the Macintosh version of VGS.

Darko Matesic was working in such tool for Windows version, but it crashed VGS (and sometimes Windows) 90% of the time. And the save state was not accurate, so it was never released.

There is a work around, using the save state feature of Connectix Virtual PC. This trick works in Windows ME, 2000 and XP.

Install Windows 95 or 98 in a virtual machine of VPC, run VGS from there. Just close the VPC window and a save state is done.

The save state is stored in 2000/XP in the directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourCurrentUser\Application Data\Connectix\Virtual PC\VirtualMachineName.vsv

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Connectix\Virtual PC\Win95.vsv

In Windows ME, it is stored in:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Connectix\Virtual PC\

Oops I forgot to tell that the save state may be 30MB or larger.

And Virtual PC requires a high end PC (PIII 750Mhz and 256MB RAM or higher is recomended)

I guess it's really not worth the hassle then.

It was just to prove it can be done.
