|

platforms (Mac/PC/Linux/Etc) and to save back to those platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
The only thing to be aware of is that Snes9xGx requires that the SRM file have a
|
||||
name that is the rom name (not necessarily the same as the file name!) with .SRM
|
||||
at the end. For example, the game "Super Mario All-Stars + World" has a rom name
|
||||
of "ALL_STARS + WORLD", so the SRAM file should have the name "ALL_STARS +
|
||||
WORLD.srm". You can see the rom name for a game by loading the game - the rom
|
||||
name is shown in the information that is briefly shown at the bottom of the
|
||||
screen. A perhaps easier way to find the correct name is simply to load the game
|
||||
and then save SRAM to SD or SMB and look at the filename that Snes9xGx uses.
|
||||
That's the name you should use when importing an SRAM from another platform.
|
||||
To load a SRAM file on the Wii or Gamecube from another platform, ensure the
|
||||
name of the SRM file matches the filename of the ROM (except with an SRM
|
||||
extension).
|
||||
|
||||
To use an Snes9xGx SRAM on another platform just do the opposite: save SRAM to
|
||||
SD or SMB, and then copy that saved SRAM file to the other platform. You may
|
||||
have to rename the file to be what that version of snes9x expects it to be.
