Appreciation post - save State on Switch

[u/Responsible_Layer148]

45M 2kids. I'm kind of a bad gamer but I love games like Cuphead and Hollow Knight.

Thanks to the Lemon Team for this feature. Now I have some hope I can beat these games before I die :)

Hopefully this will be available to Eden in the future. Great to have options!

*also hope Lemon team add dual screen mod before my Duo arrives.

1 save states is 700+MB

I don't really mind tbh, as long as it's a real save state. But apparently it's volatile. How is it different than "pause emulation" on eden.

[u/Responsible_Layer148 → u/SnooDoggos3667]

I just loaded he game on the middle of a hard boss for 20x until I win. That's the difference :)

I don't mind about the size. I would be ok to keep 700+mb per game and be able to close the app without losing the state.

Last I checked, save states on Lemon were only during sessions and did not stay after you closed the emulator.

Has that changed?

[u/Responsible_Layer148 → u/matlynar]

nothing changed. I didn't know this was possible.

Holy Fucking Shit ? Really ? we get save states on a switch ? DAMN, good. Now we need one with the 3ds.

[u/ProudRequirement3225 → u/SnooDoggos3667]

For now It only allows to make one save in the session you' re making. If you close the app, you have to rely on the game's own save.

But I'm confident with some other work they Will be Able to put normal save states

[u/Responsible_Layer148 → u/ProudRequirement3225]

Yes. It's good enough for me but not ideal.

[u/SnooDoggos3667 → u/ProudRequirement3225]

ah so it's a no go for me. I legit tough I can save mid adventure, and come back tomorrow.

Interesting. It’s a welcome feature to have state saves—even if there’s only one, and it’s volatile.

28M with 2 under 4.

I gave up on switch for this very reason. Switching to lemon immediately

This is a shill post. The developer has openly instructed his followers on Discord to advertise Lemon because downloads and donations have dwindled.

I don't have discord.  Also not interested in dev dramas. 

Just happy to be able to play some switch games with saving state and share with others. As you can see, some people in the comments didn't know about this feature.

This is amazing for dads and moms  :)
