so i downloaded an NES emulator the other day. last night i spent a good 2 or 3 hours working on final fantasy 1, saving several times to 2 different files. today i went to load the game and apparently it has decided not to save a thing i did last night. the new file i created no longer exists on my computer and the old one that i was saving over went back to its pre-yesterday state. i'd love to finish my game, but i'm afraid to waste another 3 hours of my life leveling up my party if the work is just going to float off into another dimension again. so has anything similar happened to anyone else? what the fuck happened and is there anything i can do to prevent it from happening again? i seriously don't know if i can bring myself to play if this is how it's going to be, and that game was the main reason i bothered to download the damn thing.
Don't blame your computer, it just follows your instructions...its less of it fault than it is yours > ...on a more compassionate note, cheer up. I haven't completed ANY final fantasy game...I almost got to the end in final fantasy VII but when sephiroth is in the one-winged angel form I just couldn't defeat him...in ff8 i only get to the part where they're in space, in ff9 i forgot where i gave up, in ff10 i get to the part where he meets the ghost of his father...
you have to save the state, not just create a file emulators dont let u save in-game like if u had the actuall system, u need to use the "save state" option which saves all your progress/info into a file, then u load that file into the game
that's what i did, but all my save state files from that day are now gone and the one save state file that i overwrote actually reverted back to where it had been the day before
use a better emulator then, i'm using a SNES one on my DS and it works better then the one you describe lol
