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

Headkaze, your plugin worked. Thanks a lot.
But still, when i pause (P) the emulation and used your plugin to save, automatically the emulation started with the message that save was sucefull in front of the game.

I would like to save and load and the emulation stayed on pause. Or at least didint show any message of save sucefull or load sucefull. There is a option?

Mame, unfortunately, isn't made with the user in mind.  The only reason we got save states at all is the fact that they make it easier for devs to troubleshoot bugs.

Yes, just add an "emu.pause()" statement after loading/saving the state.

Eg.

--- Code: ---local function savestate_menu_callback(index, event)
if event == "select" then
local menu_item = savestate_menu[index][1]

if menu_item == "Load State" then manager:machine():load("auto")
elseif menu_item == "Save State" then manager:machine():save("auto")
end

emu.pause()
end
return false
end
--- End code ---

Howard_Casto:
Isn't emu.pause a toggle?

Nope, as per luaengine.cpp source it's:


--- Code: --- * emu.pause() - pause emulation
 * emu.unpause() - unpause emulation
--- End code ---
