Thanks to those who submitted feedback about Caprice32, ZIP and multi-disk support will be added in the next release.
SNA files, on the other hand, will not be supported, and here’s why. SNA files are not proper cartridges or disk images - they’re save state files containing a “snapshot” of memory and CPU registers. The Save State tab provides the same functionality (except as an added bonus, it GZip’s the save states, making them a lot smaller).
If you want to convert an existing SNA file to Caprice32 PSP’s save state format, here’s how to do it:
Compress the SNA file with GZip
Pick some PNG image (any in-game screenshot made with Caprice32 PSP will do)
Concatenate the PNG image with the GZipped SNA file in the following order: PNG image, SNA file
Rename the resulting file so that it’s composed of the full name of the disk image (including the extension), plus ‘.sXX’ as an extension, where XX is an integer between 00 to 10. Example: 1943.dsk.s00
Place the file in the SAVEDATA directory, and it will be available when the DSK file is loaded.
