you can beat the game in like an hour anyway

If you die over 255 times your save disappears, did that happen to you?

>> No.981802

>>981798
No but does that really happen?

>> No.981805

Replace the battery.

>>981802
I thought it did but I looked and I think it just stops counting at 255...

someone didn't hold Reset while turning the power off

seriously though that sucks, it's one of the reasons I emulate these days

If you were really far in, you might as well start the second quest?

The second quest will make him cry even harder.

the randomly deleting your saves can happen in emulation too actually

>> No.981856

>>981847
That's why you savestate

>> No.981892

>>981847
yeah, but I do like this guy:
>>981830
and make a couple savestates just in case

I don't abuse savestates and only save when I would be able to save in the game, though.

>>981847

my emulator was weird. i got jnes. and it doesnt seem to save on its own. i need to create a save file/savestate. i thought it would be like project 64 and just save like normal but nope. every time i try, there's no files at all

am i doing something wrong. do i have to adjust certain settings.

Use fceux, nestopia, or cores with Retroarch.

everyone who emulates is a douchebag that thinks they are too good to buy old crap and spends their money on stupid shit like clothes because they are all vain assholes who know a video game collection would stop them from getting laid. Its for all the fucking nerds that think they are too cool to be nerds

Or they're just, not consumerist whores who would rather not waste money on what is essentially nostalgia.

Nice try, kid.
You emulate cause mommy won't buy you a NES. Probably broke your old consoles when you got an Xbawks. Maybe if you ask mommy and daddy nicely they might think about it. But be sure to take out the trash for at least a week.

I didn't know enough English as a kid.
I didn't know until a few days ago that you were supposed to hold down the reset button while powering down the console in order to prevent data loss.
I always thought my copy of The Adventure of Link had a defective battery.

Or having portable versions of console games for those of us who ride the train a lot to get to work and play on our ride in and home.

But yeah, go with your angry opinion instead of a common sensical one.

Bind a controller button to quicksave if you're using a gamepad, or a phone/tablet with physical buttons. You have to get into the habit of using savestates, otherwise it will completely slip your mind.
