Using Snes9X with Launchbox will not save .srm


Recommended Posts

If I use Snes9x v1.54 without Launchbox I can use any games internal save function to create or append the .srm save file. However if I launch through Launchbox 10.15 the .srm file will not be updated.

I read an earlier post and changed the exit game button to my keyboards End button, but this did not resolve the issue.

I can use savestates without issue.

In your emulator set-up in LB  >Tools>Manage Emulators and then edit Snes9x are there any AHK scripts in the Running AHK and Exit AHK tabs? If so can you post what it is?

This is whats in the Running AHK under snes9x in LB

; This section closes Snes9x when pressing Escape
$End::
{
    Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}}
}

That's what I thought it was going to be. It is that specific AHK. It is not allowing Snes9x to save the game save on exit as it is a hard close command.

I would change that to the code below.

$Esc::
{
    WinClose, ahk_exe {{{StartupEXE}}}
}

That did it Bud! Thanks so much.

Purchased LB about 2 years ago, really been enjoying it. This was the first real issue I couldn't figure out. Cheers and Thank You!

No worries. I would look at any other emulators you imported and if you see that code change it to the one I posted. Not all emulators that support game saves do the saving on exit, but it would be useful to just have the same code across the board.
