Konnor97 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) I was messing around a little and then my savestates and saves were gone, so can someone get please get me a savestate of around Ch3? I would really appreciate it. Edited May 15, 2012 by Konnor97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnor97 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Ok, when I say 'messing around', I meant I was getting the newest version of the translation patch (a few topics below this), and I didn't realize this would affect my saves, and I didn't have a back-up (). Sorry if I sounded like an idiot in the original post. Anything is still very much appreciated. Sorry, double-post.

Kiriane Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I have one with a save file at the beginning of C3. But I play on the Chinese translation. How does changing the translation affect your saves, anyway? As far as I can tell, it doesn't (switched between FE4 English and Chinese, and between two Chinese versions of FE5, no problem either way). EDIT: you probably don't want my save file, as it's for a draft. (Sigurd, Lex, Noish, Holyn, Fury) But the offer stands.

Konnor97 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm good, thanks for the offer though. Someone PM'd me a save yesterday but I forgot to report that it happened. Now I just need to close the topic, once I figure out how to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I sounded like an idiot in the original post. Anything is still very much appreciated. Sorry, double-post. Still, it shouldn't have affected your save. If you still have the save, you can always patch a fresh ROM with the translation patch you used, which should in theory allow you access to your savestates. Then you can make a normal SRAM save, which should be compatible. Though honestly, it sounds more like the saves aren't incompatible, but that they're named differently than your newest patched ROM--and some emulators will only show saves if they're named the same as the ROM, to prevent mix-ups.

Yeah, the Chapter/normal saves and savestates depend on the ROM, and when I tried to patch the game with the new translation patch, it stayed normal, like with the original patch, and so I renamed the thing (I have no clue what I was thinking then), thinking that would keep the saves, and was hoping that I could repatch it then with no problems. Another problem could be that I don't/didn't know how to unpatch a ROM (which I'm going to need know when the ending comes). I use zsnesw151 if that makes a difference.

Rename the game file back to the original name or rename the saves to match the current file name. The patched state of the rom shouldn't affect the saves.

Konnor97 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 I changed a newly found backup (I copied one that had the new patch) to the original name, and that worked to regain my normal save that I though was lost, so thanks. I just changed the name of the original patch, changed the new translation to the name with my save and repatched it, and it worked! Ardan now shows Vantage instead of Ambush, and is still a General like in my main file. Thanks for all the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriane Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 ...yeah, the problem was just the filename matching then. Guess you learnt something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnor97 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yup, Note to Self: Only change name of file if it is a copy being used for a hack/completely different patch like for example the Shin Patch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
