Mame 0187 save and load states and pause

(1/4) > >>

evilsidius:
Hello guys, i am new to all this, so sorry if this is a noob question.

Well, for now i use my pc for play. In the future i am thinking to build a arcade. But for now i use my windows 10 with a xbox controller.
I have 3 questions.

1 - What i want is to make the save state and load state more simple using only one button, is that possible? I just want to use position 1. So there is a way to assign one button for save in position 1 and another button to load from position 1?

2 - I want Pause the emulation and save or load and i still want the emulation paused. There is a way?
Let me explain this better, those that use the fusion emulator for mega drive, if you pause emulation and load a state you can notice that the emulation will still be on pause. After you press pause again that the emulation will start on the loaded file. I dont know if i make myself clear. English isnt my first language.

Anyway, hope you can help me, thanks you all.

You could achive what you want using MAME's Lua plugin system.

I created a basic load/save state plugin you can use a guide.

savestate_plugin.zip

Doesn't MAME support this natively? It seems to me like I have paused emulation, hit the save state button, then when I load state, it remembers that it was paused. I'm thinking of an older version of MAME.

You could be right. I just knocked up a plugin as proof-of-concept.
