ZSNES Help

[Raistlin]

crash - do you actually WANT to start over? Because this is mind-numbingly simple.

First off, this could've been entirely avoided if you didn't rename the folder.

Secondly, it's really simple to fix. Say your original folder was C:\Program Files\ZSNES and you renamed the folder to C:\Program Files\ZS. However, in the .cfg file, it will still have C:\Program Files\ZSNES listed as the filepath to look for save files. So you need to double-click the .cfg file, click on Notepad when it brings up a list of programs, and then change the save directory to the new filepath (in this example, C:\Program Files\ZS). It will take approximately three seconds, and you won't have to start over. That will work, unless you deleted some files.

And if you don't understand that, you fail at the Internet.

Now Im starting to get it. But the thing is that I didn't re-name my ZSNES folder. Just my Fceu (NES emu) folder, then made another folder for my NES roms, now there are only 5 folders for my 5 Emus with the ROMs in them. So what Im trying to say is that I didn't edit the ZSNES folder. Or do I have to still fill out the cfg crap?? Sorry, it's just a little confusing.

If you renamed the folder that your zsnes folder is in, or any other folder all the way down to C:\ you'll still need to do the cfg thing.
And just TRY it. It's not that hard

[crashNUMBERS]

I did.

or just move the save states to where the new place is

edit: maybe this won't work i don't actually know what's going on

[Samuraid]

Yeah, move the state saves to the same folder as each ROM.

The state saves will have .zst .zs1 .zs2 ... .zs9 extensions. Just copy them into the same folder as the ROM. Also copy the .srm file to the ROM folder as well.

Yeah, I think smehow I accidently deleted my saves folder, dunno how. I never touched the ZSNES folder. Ah well. I made a new save folder and wrote it down on the directoy. Thanks for the help. I gotta go start all over...

[krissy]

i never thought zsnes actually made a saves folder
i thought all the saves were in the same folder as the games
i mean i kept the games and the emu in the same folder maybe that's why i remember things differently

[Levian]

Nah, it's in the same folder as the games. It's like Autumn Rain said, same game name only with a .srm ending. So unless you deleted those files, this is easy to fix.

Indeed, but I believe he stated he could find any .srm files. If he knows where these are, editting the .cfg file will work. If not, he's screwed.
