Loading save state overwrites native saves

Post by spacy51 »

I wonder if we can change that behaviour, or at least add a warning, because it is a common way to destroy native saves.

Loading save state overwrites native saves

SVN579:

"ADDED option "File->Load Game->Do not change battery save" (currently GBA only)"

 

 

If something goes wrong or gets corrupted, do not hesitate to tell me.

 

Internally, the feature works by just skipping the flash/sram & eeprom data in save games.

 

It will not affect writing to save games.

 

I'll add the same thing for GB soon.

EDIT: Hm, can't find what to change so easily...

Hm, isn't my new feature exactly what you're looking for? The battery won't be altered on state load, so there's no need to back it up.

 

 

Btw, I just comitted the same feature for GB/C, after reading up on memory bank controllers and external RAM.
