State saving/loading

**xtra krazzy** · January 21st, 2006, 09:28

Are you aiming for state saving/loading? if so, what will be the approximate size for a state file?

btw you should also get/decode GCI and gameshark save formats so you can make your emulated memory card import them..

but for now..... just speed up the FPS and make more games work ingame

If it's added, (uncompressed) state saves will be around 50MB.

I must understand, once and for all, what does the state contain? the data/stack segments?

nothing becuase its not added and if it is added it will be the raw mem from the core.

Wrong! Do not tell them what to do. Want to play it on the faster fps ? Play your own real console. It is not wise to tell them.

umm.... I own a GC.... I was just trying to say that i'm NOT telling them what to do, but to focus on what they are focusing now: Compatibility. (or are they?)

by "speeding up FPS" I mean to optimize code, because even a mislaid function in a loop or bad use of too many variables could at least increase the performance in 1 frame.(optimizing code isn't fun, but I can do it, i'm also one of the experts in multithreading, which I think will help, but i just dunno how to reach/contact the team(finally something that I CAN do for Dolphin since i can't emulate opcodes or stuff like that

))

Too bad...

P.S I also own a VIVO video card so technically I can play GC games on my pc and record them... But what about games that I DON'T own?(a.k.a.Zelda OOT Special Edition) There is no way i can install a modchip on my GC nor burn mini-dvds, so this is the only solution...

About save states: I just wanna know what they generally contain, just so I can understand the structure of states and how they work... So, can anyone answer?

They contain the complete Gamecube RAM(which is something like 24-32MB) and tons of other shit.

Ohh.... The RAM.... I wonder if a PC/Thread State saving could be possible...

(though there IS windows' hibernation.. Naah)
