Viz Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 I have never been able to save a game. When I hit F5 or shift F5 I get the attached error message. I'm using Windows 10 home. Anyone that can help....thanks! Quote
smozoma Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 The original version of Gens does not allow saving during netplay. I edited Gens to allow it, and that custom version of Gens is included in the emulator package on the http://www.nhl94online.com/ website. In the package, instead of running gens.exe, run gens-netplaysave.exe Quote
Viz Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Posted November 17, 2017 Just pulled it down - coachmac and I were having an offline discussion and he thought that might be my issue. I downloaded and will see if it works upon my next game. Thanks!! Quote

Why do we even include the other version? gens-netplaysave.exe Quote
jackandjose Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 I always use the original version to map my controller. Quote
flatcrusher Posted December 19, 2017 Report Posted December 19, 2017 Yep. As Aqua discovered - You need to use 6 button mapping for most ROMS's but the netplay version of GENS will not really let you do 6 button mapping for a 3 button controller. Original GENS makes it easier. Quote

flatcrusher Posted December 20, 2017 Report Posted December 20, 2017 Oh just that the button mapping interface is different in each version. In regular gens it doesnt make you map every button the way the netplay version does. Easier than hitting random keys for buttons that dont exist on your controller but ya that would work if the netplay version was used to map buttons Quote
