Apparently just by replacing the 0.3 bmp icon with the old 0.2c bmp icon reenables the savestate function (Your bootup message may look a bit odd though).
See above for more info.</blockquote>
Man! I poured over my computer, un-installing and re-installing the emu... I thought I had installed wrong! Thanks for the heads up, I will fix this as soon as I get home (Even though I LOVED the new BG).
I wonder if you simply take the new logo.bmp and change it from 24-bit to 8-bit like the 0.2c versions logo file if it will have the same effect?
I had done this simply to save some space the other day as it cut the file to over half it's original size.
well... do your save states work allright? read through that thread Wraggster linked to and see if you have any of the same problems. If you don't then you stumbled across a bug fix and need to post back here as well as that other thread! I'll read it myself and see what's up as well.

And this of course increases the size as well do to that.
Can someone having the issue test this theory?
I run 2.0, and I just changed the logo, and it works fine. But now it look icky...

If you did the latter and used MS Paint to do it, I noted that Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop both give much better results. I'd post the one I did, but I'm not sure if that's allowed since it's part of the PSPGBA archive.
Ill post this here as some people may not know.
the reason the saves dont work is that the logo.bmp is in 24bit rgb format - for some reason the emu doesnt like it (at least under 2.0)
so the solution is simple (yes i have tested this) convert the original image to indexed 256 colors.
I have also attached a copy for those who dont have the know-how to actually do it themselves. Enjoy. :)
Sure enough, if you are using the new logo.bmp, you need to replace it. What I did was use the old 0.2c logo.bmp but pull it up in Photoshop and color the white background black. Not only do save states appear to be working fine now, but it looks cool as well.Quote:
