Hi... I was wondering if there were any ways to make savestate of a running movie, in order to watch certain part of it without viewing the whole thing... I tried using savestate and loadstate on VBA 1.7.2 though it messed up with my movie... I did not try on the latest version... As it is possible to do so with SNES9x, I was wondering if it was possible with this one... I guess it is but I do not have clue on how to do that... Furthermore, if that is possible, is there anyway to continue the recording of a movie using those savestates without watching it to the point you want to continue... Thx everyone

But the short answer to your question is "yes". Generally you just have to be careful to check the "Open Read Only" box (or something similarly named) when you start playing the movie, and what you tried should work without screwing up the movie. edit: didn't see your other question:

The thing you did before that messed up the movie was exactly this. Turn read-only off and loading will continue recording without having to watch up to that point. And btw... always use the latest recommended version if you can - usually when someone says "but I'm not using the latest version" that's a big part of their problem. (I think the version you can download from this very forum is the one you want to be using, if you're not using it.) edit2: (off-topic) Minor edit! Was this option added for me? (ok I'll stop adding stuff now, just testing)
