WHDLoad saving problem
« on: December 28, 2009, 09:45:15 PM »
Hi,
I have a problem with saving games in WHDload.I'm sorry if this has been already discussed, but I haven't been able to find the problem described anywhere.
Some games (UFO, SSI Gold Box - Pool of Radiance etc.) run okay, but when I try to save position it behaves strangely - the screen goes dark and then the game screen blinks back for a split second every ~5 seconds and this repeats for a minute or so - 5 seconds of dark screen, game screen blinks back, and immediately another 5 seconds of nothing over and over again. After the minute or more the game returns back to normal, the position is successfully saved and I can continue playing. I'm sure this behaviour is not standard or intended, waiting for a minute or two whenever I want to save is quite tiring. Am I doing something wrong?
My configuration is stock A4000 with A3640, 16MB RAM, CF card as a HDD and registered WHDload 16.8. I don't have any other problems with WHDLoad, e.g. instability or crashes, everything works fine.
Thanks.

Oh, thanks, who would've thought :) Is it because the games expect saving to a save game disk and not HDD?

Well, that would be nice, but unfortunately in my case (Pool of Radiance) the swapping still occurs even when I'm overwriting a previously saved game. Any ideas why it's so?
