Secondly of all...((Is that even a word)) Its been i real pain cause i get far save the state, some times it works then 5-10 min later when i wanna save agin the bloody thing freezes and my computer says..."VisualBoy Advance emulator has encounterd a prolem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inonvience" I included a screen carputred picture of the massage. PLZ Help me

...oh and it does the same thing when i sometimes try to load a Saved state then later on load it. to sum it up i cant really Save Nor load A state more than once

It seems that you are using the VBoy 1.0 version that had issues with save states and sav files as well. Download the 1.0a here http://vboy.emuhq.com/downloads.shtml your problems should disappear if you try this latest version

um will my old save states still work?

They may not work because they could got corrupted. Get the 1.0a VBoy version and try, maybe your savestates work. You won't have problems with the latest version. Remember, if you want to preserve your progress make normal saves because sometimes save states files might get corrupted

WHat u mean b normal SAVE STATES??

Phoenix · August 16th, 2002

the "normal save" I mean, not save states, are the saves you do like if you're playing with an original GameBoy Advance. It's like if you save your progress on a PSX, saving your game on a memory card, got it?
The savestate as you know allow you to save anywhere, at any point, something that you can't do with the original consoles. The kind of saves you can do on the original consoles are the save type I mean.

oh ok thanx

Actually, let me correct one thing: save states are less prone to get corrupted than normal saves.

On version 1.0a, there is another battery/normal save bug: if you play an EEPROM save game, then all the following games will be saved as EEPROM and that's a problem for the Flash/SRAM save games.

This will be fixed in version 1.1 and you can workaround by closing the emulator after playing an EEPROM game.
