    Hello,

    I've been playing earthbound on my PC using ZSNES. I downloaded ZSNES for mac and copied my folder containing all my files from earthbound. Problem is when I open the ROM and choose open state, the emulaor isn't able to open it..."Unable to Load State". Is this just a Mac and PC thing? Or a emulator version problem? The ZNES emulator I found for mac is Version 1.43.

    Depending on what version of ZSNES you were using on your PC, the saved state files may not work. If I remember correctly there was an update between a version or two that changed the saved state method and made them no longer compatible with earlier versions.

    Rather than save state, use the real save and see if it works.

    Thanks for your reply. I'll give that a try and see if it works.

    TirithRR,

    I tried what you suggested. I did a real save within the game and then I brought those files over to the Mac. I also downloaded the same version 1.51 on the mac as I had on the pc. I opened the file and I didn't have my saved file. It looked like a fresh copy. Do I have any chance in having this show on the Mac?
