[grayxx]

hi guys ive got my cocktail cab up and running fine, im using mala front end with mame 0.80, ive set 2 buttons 1 for save state (save game)and 1 for load state, the save state seems to work but if i click load state button after exiting the game it says ERROR FAILED TO LOAD STATE, so i have to start from the start of the game again as it wont work, any ideas?? all help much appreciated

Not all games support save state. What game are you trying to use?

BTW: The whole save state/restore state is being rewritten in newr mame versions

good luck

hi the game was gauntlet, is there a way to find out what games are supported by save state? like a list of supported games maybe?
