Savegame and controllers
« on: December 29, 2024, 09:06:39 PM »
Just realized that if saving a game state while playing with my bluetooth controller then I can not resume the game later using the standard usb controller.
I can quit the game and start it from scratch, and then the USB controller works. Then quit and load the mentioned savestate and the usb controller doesnt work, and I can not seem to activate it after the game is launched.

Same with saving a game state when played with 9pin Competition, vs. trying to load it later using the USB controller.

Though this may not be easy to fix... IMHO a save state is simply a RAM-dump of the machine's state at that moment. When the controller is changed 'during' this doesn'T seem to match with the RAM-dump. I guesstimate this will be the same running standalone Amiberry/WinUAE.on other hardware.

The difference is that on WinUAE or Amiberry with GUI you can enter the settings and change input settings in the middle of a game, so you can load the savestate and change the controller and save the state again.

Look at the idea from broadblues in this post, now if that is implemented and also made available for selection in the F12 menu it might help.
