Automatic Saving
Hello there, I was wondering if there was any way to get VBA-M to auto-save on the battery itself (I think that's what I want...) What I mean, in case I used the wrong terminology, is that I want VBA-M to periodically save the game's saves, IE: When I hit save and quit on Link's Awakening DX, to have VBA save that fact and allow me to resume the game as if I were actually playing it on a GBC and just loaded up my save file, anyone out there who can help?

The fun thing about 'reality' is that there is no actual definition to it. Each of us has our own grasp upon realities, our own realities if you will, and our realities just happen to intertwine with others' periodically.

RE: Automatic Saving
what?

battery files already update automatically, hacking the emulator to force a game to make a native save would go outside of the intended development purposes.

Hm, not sure if he meant that, but it would be cool to let VBA-M create an automatic emulator save state on closing a game and automatically resume from it when the game is loaded next time.

Marketing Name: "Seamless Emulation"


Next extension: Automatically load the game that was played last when VBA.exe is executed.
