happened after leaving computer on and exceeding 999 hours.. any possible fixes ? i have the .ds file
Offline
there's no such thing as a .ds file, so I don't know what you mean.
I'm doubtful that 999 hours has to do with anything. Where did you get 999 from? Define "failed to load" error. Most likely explanation is your computer (for whatever reason) or your kid brother (for whatever reason) deleted your savestate file so that it's no longer there and can't be loaded. The savestate doesn't know anything about how many hours it's been, so that wouldnt affect whether it loads. You must have missed some other detail and jumped to a wrong conclusion.

it's .ds1 and the first file for that game in the states folder. i can screenshot the error msg but i dont think it would help much
Offline
actually the most likely explanation is that you updated desmume versions and expected the savestates to be compatible
Offline
no because the .ds2 save state works which is older and there hasnt been an update

you havent told me the whole story yet. you left your computer on for 999 hours, and then.....? you must have done something. saved in-game, or savestated, or something else.

the save state was from december and this happened yesterday. tried loading up the save state normally but got the error and that was it

and your evidence that 999 hours has anything to do with it is....?

tbh i hope that wasnt the cause but the .ds1 file size is somehow smaller than the older save state (.ds2) and when i initially loaded the game(without save states) the game started up at 999 hours and the rest is history
Offline
smaller how much

zeromus can you help me ? or am i giving you all this info in vain (no offense)

you think I racked up 4,897 posts NOT helping people?
But probably not in this case. First, because I don't think you're capable of delivering the required information. Second, because now it's seeming like some unknown external force corrupted your savestate.

the battery save file doesnt seem to be working properly either. but trust me, i can deliver. what i want to know if anyone has recovered a save state before ?
Offline
only people who had their system taking automated backups. the battery save may have become broken when you loaded the broken state. loading a fixed state would bring a fixed save file along with it.
Offline
automated backups ? could u pls elaborate (r they similar to system restore?)
