Savestates don't work on Vasara. Fixes?

What version of MAME are you using? Savestates certainly work for me on 0.137/Shmupmame v2 for either Vasara (I mostly play Vasara 2 but they use the same driver).

If your controller isn't supported in MAME 0.99 like mine, it's also possible to add back ESPRaDe/Guwange/DDP/Dangun Feveron support in more recent versions of MAME, but it requires compiling it yourself (or finding someone who can do that for you).

Thank you everyone for responding. Unfortunately, neither mame.99 lagless pro or mame pro special .106 seem to support my joystick -- unless I am just missing something. My joystick is an Hori EX2 for xbox360.

This sounds promising, but I'm not sure how its done. Do you perhaps know of a link to a page that could explain this to me?

Unfortunately, I can't get Shmupmame 2.2 to compile either myself so I can't give you proper instructions or my own save-stated enabled build (The previous version was fine so I seem to have grown dumber now) I haven't spent more than a few minutes on it, though...

The basic MAME build instructions are here, and you need to download the MameUIFX source and the Shmupmame one on top of that. Enabling save states in those Caves again is just a simple matter of following this post, so it's straightforward when you can already compile Shmupmame 2.2.

Maybe this should receive a bit more attention?

Playing Battle Garegga on Shmup-MAME i experience the sound gets a bit distorted at start of stage 3, I only experience it with this client though.
