Why can't I save the game?!

[Supaman89]

I was playing Pokemon and when I double clicked on the screen the manu came up and I pressed "Save State" but then when I tried to load the game again, it just reset the game, please don't tell me that you can't save in big games cuz that would be a pity, I'd like to play Zelda and Metroid as well but you can't save in those ones either.

I'm assuming your speaking of GameBoy games.

To save:
1 - Use the in game save feature (usually in a menu of some sort)
2 - Double click the game screen and select "Save State". A window will pop up asking you if you want to save.
3 - When you come back to the game, double click the game screen and select "Load State". A window will pop up and ask if you want to load the state. After the game is loaded, the window will say "Success" you can now click OK to close pop up.
4 - In the game should be your save file where you can continue.

I think you forgot step 1 Supaman89. Hope this helps.

Yes, I didn't know I had to save it within the game as well, now it works, thx.

That is for GB games only. The other games that support saving don't require that step.

Oh sure, show me up in my moment of moderator glory. Sheesh!!!

just as clarification do you have to save the normal way then click save state on the menu

every time you want to save the game or just the first time you make a save?
and is that on GBA and GBC?

Just like you normally would save on any Game Boy console. This has to be repeated every time you want to save at a new place in the game.

GBA does not save. In GB and GBC, when you double click and select save all you are doing is storing the game's internal save state on the server. The internal save state has to exist and be updated before you store it to the server or it wont work right.

Sure, if you want to get all technical about it and stuff.
