try searching for other emulator.. ^^,

I think this is what you do...

First load the game (make sure this is the first time you've loaded it so there's no .sav)

Next make a save game yourself in any slot eg. 1

Now exit the emulator and go to a file browser (I use Y-browser)

Here you must go to where your roms are and your save games (e:\data\others\vboy\)

Now find the savegame for the rom you played eg. if you played zelda.zip then there will be a savegames called zelda.zip.sav (this is the autosave file which causes all the problems)

There should be another savegame file that you created in slot 1 called zelda.zip.1.sav (it could be .2.sav or .3.sav etc.)

Now you have to delete the autosave file (zelda.zip.sav) and rename the save you made yourself (zelda.zip.1.sav) so its the same name as the one you just deleted (zelda.zip.sav)

Ok so now you have deleted the corrupt autosave and renamed a manual save the new autosave. Now make the one you created and renamed read only so vboy cant stuff it up again.

Thats it now exit the file browser and load vboy up.

Open zelda.zip and it will start up normally. Now autosave will be disabled but you will be able to play games without having to delete the .sav file. Just make sure you manually save your progress before you quit and when you play it again just load it manually. It will work fine.

Hmm.. it doesn't work for my n70 :|.. That's what i do:

1. Load Game
2. Make save on slot 1 or another.
3. Exit the emulator
4. Go to e:\data\vampent\gbroms\ (I'm using FExplorer) and delete autosave.
5. Reneme my save that I make before on slot 1 to autosave (just delete slot's number) and set attributes to "read only".
6. Go to emulator and play the game.
7. Load the save.
8. Work!

But.. If I quit the emulator and play it again then again I can't load my save.. emulator just stop working. Then I can only go to FExplorer and shut down the emulator in "processes".

Can anyone help me, please? what I should do?

I'm sorry for my bad english.

Peace.
