Automatic Saving

Hello there, I was wondering if there was any way to get VBA-M to auto-save on the battery itself (I think that's what I want...) What I mean, in case I used the wrong terminology, is that I want VBA-M to periodically save the game's saves, IE: When I hit save and quit on Link's Awakening DX, to have VBA save that fact and allow me to resume the game as if I were actually playing it on a GBC and just loaded up my save file, anyone out there who can help?

what?

 

battery files already update automatically, hacking the emulator to force a game to make a native save would go outside of the intended development purposes.

Hm, not sure if he meant that, but it would be cool to let VBA-M create an automatic emulator save state on closing a game and automatically resume from it when the game is loaded next time.

 

Marketing Name: "Seamless Emulation"

 

 

Next extension: Automatically load the game that was played last when VBA.exe is executed.
