That awkward guy
For some odd reason, when loading save states while playing Gimmick!, it instantly drops all health to zero, killing your character. I have tried this on Jnes 1.0 and the new 1.0.1, both did the same.
I tried other emulators and the save states worked on them.
I am not sure about this, but I think it somehow might be related to the fact that Gimmick! uses the FME-7 mapper. It adds a couple of extra sound channels (three square waves, to be exact) and as far as I know, Jnes doesn't yet have compatibility with FME-7.
I would say that the incompatibility would be related to the save stating issue, but I'm avoiding not to assume that, since I don't even know if Jnes is or is not compatible with it.
To my knowledge, there is only two games that use this chip, this one and Batman: Return of the Joker. Batman: Return of the Joker does not have the same problem with Jnes though, but I don't think it uses the extra sound channels either.
I think this is a good stopping point for my droning for now. If anybody's got answers, I'd appreciate it!
