is it just me or can no else save the game via the normal process(regular game saves) with nesoid lite/snesoid lite/gbcoid lite? i thought the paid app versions allow the ingame save states and dont affect the regular game saving function. ie: when i play LoZ: Link's Awakening on gbcoid, i try to save it and exit the emulator but i come back to find nothing saved under the first character file. am i doing something wrong? i found gameboid lite can save games normally. this is a shame for playing rpg's if the save function doesnt work unless you have to purchase it for the ingame saves...

That's weird it used to work...maybe the developer blocked it somehow to urge people to buy the app.

Gameboid Lite can save games normally without savestates.
Snesoid fullversion CANNOT save games normally without savestates.

really? i tried playing pokemon yellow version on gameboy lite but the regular 'game save' function doesnt work. i pick up pikachu from pallet town and save but when i restart the app, it doesnt show my save file? am i doing something wrong? the same can be said about snesoid lite and nesoid lite where i make a zelda save file and my character in slot one doesnt save after i start the app? i noticed the apps arent making .sav files....

the emulators im referring to are nesoid lite/snesoid lite/gbcoid lite. gameboid saves properly but the other emulators dont have the regular save function working. try playing legend of zelda on snes and see if the game saves correctly. thanks.

Actually, snesoid full can use in game saves... doesn't work with dkc, but works with dkc3 and others. Lite version can't use saves

Anyone know how to get in touch with the developer? I have one suggestion for him, if he incorporates GameShark cheats into each program for paid versions theyll be instant sales. Im sure of it. Even moreso if he can figure out how to have it so people can duel and trade Pokemon wirelessly through Droids.

I've been having problems with gameboid lite now too. I was playing Fire Red, and all the in-game saves were working just fine. This morning, when I loaded Fire Red again, there was no saved game. I then checked my Advance Wars: Black Hole Rising save, and it wad gone too. I've onlt been using the emulator for about 2 days, so I can't understtand the problem.

Also, is it possible that the lite version of Gameboid is set to automatically delete save states after a certain amount of time?

Saving doesn't work even on full version!

is it just me or can no else save the game via the normal process(regular game saves) with nesoid lite/snesoid lite/gbcoid lite? i thought the paid app versions allow the ingame save states and dont affect the regular game saving function. ie: when i play LoZ: Link's Awakening on gbcoid, i try to save it and exit the emulator but i come back to find nothing saved under the first character file. am i doing something wrong? i found gameboid lite can save games normally. this is a shame for playing rpg's if the save function doesnt work unless you have to purchase it for the ingame saves...


I have a Droid ERIS by HTC and I purchased the full version of GBCoid and it still won't save the states! I click on Menu > Save and no matter which "slot" I click on it won't save! It always says "<empty>" right below it. I have PLENTY of room on my SD card and about 51 MB on the phone itself, which should plenty of space for saving a state... anyone else had this problem? Any hints? I want my money back!

This is the first emulator I've ever used, and I'm confused about how to make a save state. I'm using the nesoid pro emulator on the motorola droid. I found a youtube video showing how to make a save state on a PC, but none showing me how to do it on my phone.

I've noticed the same issue with Fire Red, but it doesn't seem to happen with other save files. I just backup the Fire Red.sav file to my computer every so often and when GameBoid no longer sees it, I restore the backup and everything works fine.
