Saved Games dissapear in my Snatcher emulator!

Post by UndercoverSnatcher »

When playing Snatcher on Fusion3.51 it plays beautifully, but after I saved (after meeting Katrina and finding out about the skin cancer of Snatchers, thats how much time I spent :cry: ) and returned the next day to play, the option to load a saved file wasnt there!

I've experimented with it as much as I deemed necessary, noticing that the saved game remains as long as the emulator keeps running the iso, though of course I cant do that now can I?

So I'm asking the Snatcher community, as a new and aspiring fan of this (so far) magnificent game, to perhaps inform me of what is wrong with the emulator and/or BIOS, ISOs, whichever.

Suppose information would be useful, so here are my BIOS:

Sega CD - M1 V1.10, Sega CD - M2 V2.00, Sega CD - M2 V2.00w, Sega CD - M2 V2.11x, Sega CD - M2 V2.21

The thing was, it did work before! Saving worked perfectly fine, then one day the save files were gone, and couldnt load anymore.

So again, would really appreciate the help fellow fans, thanks beforehand :)

Maybe this will help:
Hi all,

Just a quick faq about how to save your status in Snatcher.

1) make sure options->set options -> segacd -> brm files is pointing to your snatcher folder.

2) run the game and create a new ram cart in again in the snather folder (16k is mine but I think other sizes will work)

3)soft reset the game

4) start the game and choose 'cd back up ram cart'

Now start playing untill you've obtained the metal gear and Harry has explained the save option. When you're outside use Metal gear to save your current status (do so every time you want the game to save your status)

Now whenever you're ready quit to go to sleep etc. etc

To load your status:

Start fusion and load run the snatcher cd. Now before hitting any button (start, mode etc etc) choose File, load ram cart and then choose youre snatcher.crm file. Now in the game hit the start button and next to the new game option the continue option is available!

Hope this gives some directions

Neo
I don't know where I found it, but using this instructions I was able to save and load.

Sorry for the late reply Silent Snake, was busy with art projects.

I'll try this, but are you sure this is for Fusion 3.51?

Either way, thanks alot for the help :)

Edit: Yes indeed, now it works :D A bit of a hassle to fix up with that loading ram thing all the time, but at least i dont have to play it all in one sitting ^^ Thanks alot Silent Snake :)
