Hi
I have asked this question on the atarilegend forum as well but the hatari userlist might be a more proper way to address this.
This is the question:
I
like to create shortcuts (basically small scripts) on my desktop to be
able to execute Hatari savestates and after quiting the program the
savestate should be automatically saved.
I have managed to do that in the past with the following method.
1. check in the memory settings "load/save state at start-up/exit"
2.
create a cfg file (in this case eliminator.cfg) for the individual
games and change the szMemoryCaptureFileName and szAutoSaveFileName
like:
[Memory]
nMemorySize = 1
bAutoSave = TRUE
szMemoryCaptureFileName = /home/t_b/.hatari/eliminator.sav
szAutoSaveFileName = /home/t_b/.hatari/eliminator.sav
3. start Hatari from command line or script with : hatari -c /home/t_b/.hatari/eliminator.cfg
In
Hatari 1.8 that doesn't seem to work anymore (or I am mistaken about
the method I described... it has been a few years since I tried it)
I can start the savestate, but after exiting the savestate is not
automatically saved. In the terminal the question is prompted
'/home/t_b/.hatari/eliminator.sav exists, overwrite?'
Currently using Slackware 14.1.
Any advise how to solve this?
