Glitch after snapshot save and load
Not sure what could be the cause, but saving the state and loading it back is causing a glitch in Tiny Dungeons. This is before saving:
When the state is loaded back, the player character goes away:
I can move it around and play normally, but it's invisible now. My load and save routines are pretty straightforward: evaluate the pointer offsets, and dump the zx_t
structure after the magic number when saving, do the opposite when loading. It seems to be working just fine except for this glitch.
I decided to give this a try because the .z80 quick save that I have in a branch was also presenting the glitch, and I thought it could be related to the format not being able to capture the entire state of a Speccy emulator (a known limitation of the format). I tried the .z80 snapshot both compressed and uncompressed with the same result.
I tested with Fuse and it works ok.
Thanks in advance.
I'll try with other games tomorrow and see if something comes up.
Oh, I loved zx_display_info()
returning a palletized image, now I can create a RGB565 framebuffer instead of a XRGB8888 and pass less data around.
