Real quick question for you. going to install retroarch tonight to run some games that aren't supported,
do the borders work the same as they do with canoe for retroarch games?

Great tutorials and videos! Can you let me know if there's anyway of saving n64 games (e.g. for Mario 64 and Zelda OoT)? I can't seem to get the save states option to work for uncompressed games and the snes mini resets every time I try and save using retroarch. Is there a particular method that you've found to work the best?

Thanks,
Roland

Have you tried save states in retroarch? Or just regular saving in retroarch?

Hi,
Thanks for such a quick response. I've tried to save with retroarch by going into the quick menu and selecting save state. It sometimes works in that session, but the save state isn' aavailable when I restart the snes. Are there any particular settings required to make this work. I haven't tried regular saving on retroarch, how do you do this?

Thanks,
Roland

I haven't done much with saving with N64 games but I've heard that is the best method. When I tested Mario 64 it worked with the in game saves, and save states. So it could be game dependant. N64 emulation on the snes classic isn't the best unfortunately. So hopefully someone will look into it in the future and update the core.
