Age of empires 2 save state issues.

Open rbohannon89 opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Age of empires 2 the save state claims to save but it does not. If you try to load that save state it will prompt you its unable to load. But odd thing is it does save to the memory card and that loads just fine. On S9 Android 9.0 Play! Version Date: 12 Feb 2020

Also the art for the game doesn't show just a exclamation point in grayish box.

updates to the emu state code can invalid old state saves.

missing covers can be fixed, by adding the missing game, and/or serial to https://thegamesdb.net in this case, the gaming is missing, so you'd need to add it, then associate the games serial number to it

I understand that and have notice that. What i mean is i tried to use a save state after loading the game from memory card. The save state says it has been saved, but if you try to load the save state in game it won't load. Same thing happens after you do a save state close the program then try to load the save state and it says it couldn't load it. I have included a pic of it saying this. This after i used a save state and relaunch the game this what happens. Like to add save state work perfectly for rest my library. Screenshot_20200213-092158_Play!

There's a few problems with the filename selected for saved states:

  • It uses the executable name to determine the saved state file name. This game loads different executables, so, the saved state file name changes.
  • Also, seems like the emulator is not extracting the filename of this executable properly (there's a slash in the name, my computer's in japanese locale). This probably causes issues when loading.

The solution to this problem would be to keep the name of the executable that was loaded initially from the emulator's menu and use that for saved states.
