I have been recently trying mupen 0.4. It plays well, but save states seem to be hit or miss.
I will sometimes save a state, then try to load it, and the game freezes. Just video and input though. Sound still goes good. I have only played with the Windows port very much, so I'm not sure if it also happens under Linux.
I searched the forums and only found one thing that might be related. Someone once said (over a year ago, back in mupen 0.3 or earlier it would have been, so I wasn't sure if it was still relevant) that it would sometimes take 20 or more seconds to load a save state. He had a worse computer than mine, and I waited over a minute and a half after reading this, but to no avail.
When they work, they simply work. When they don't, they don't. It's very annoying to have to make sure to save 4 or more save states just to make sure one of them will load. But I would like to use an emulator that will work in Linux or Windows, and mupen seems to be the only one that plays well in both.
Has anyone else experienced this? I can post a save state for Mario 64 that will not load for me, and one at the same spot that will if it would be helpful.
