JazzyJT08 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Hello everyone! I've been seeing a lot of this front end and watched a few of ETA Prime's videos and it looks awesome, going to download and give it a go. I have a question/issue which apparently is only something I care about, which is fine, but maybe there are others who do care about this feature? I love the SNES/NES Mini Save State feature of visually seeing the save state, being able to save it, and lock it. I find this super important to me. I dislike having to push any kind button combination, only having 1 save state per game (That might be wrong I don't know), but regardless, is this a feature that Launchbox has? Or are there any front ends that do? Thank you! -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) That would be more of a function of the emulator, not the front end. Launchbox does interface with the savestate feature insofar as Launchbox has a Pause feature that allows you to pause the emulation, and that brings up a menu that allows you to save the state. I don't know of any front end that does exactly what you ask, but there are many of them out there. But, if you set up retroarch as your emulator for a system, you can bring up the Retroarch menu during emulation and do everything you're looking for. For me, pushing both sticks in on my xbox controller brings up the RA menu and from there I can save / load states and switch between save states etc. all with my controller. It even saves a screenshot picture of where you saved. Edited June 15, 2019 by fromlostdays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJT08 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 I see, yeah. I know it's me being picky but this is something I care the most about when emulating games. Picking up and putting down of games without the worry the save state did or did not work, or someone saving over it, is a big deal to me. I get it's not a problem for many folks. Thank you for commenting, I'll give Launchbox a shot and see if any other Frontends do what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I think Retroarch also has a feature that you can turn on which will automatically load the most recent save state on game launch, which is pretty cool. Goodluck in your search! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
