Hey, my friend and I just generated a seed, he pressed F1, like to load a save state, than it happens
Note that we have just generated the seed 5mn ago, any ideas?
He can't select for sq btw

did your friend reuse a filename from a previous seed?

#

not in-game filename, ROM filename

#

most emulators use the ROM filename to determine which set of savestates to offer, so if you load a state you'll get one meant for a different ROM, which will very severely mess up the in-game save file

#

easiest way to start fresh is probably just to close the emulator, rename the ROM filename (add a -new on the back end before the .sfc or something like that) and load it again

#

you could likely just reset the emulator and delete the save file but changing the filename will make sure there's nothing from the old session being loaded

this is 100% a savestate issue caused by what tom described

#

I mean, he did rename it cause of a msu like: "hgss"

#

Nothing drasticly annoying but we rerolled

#

Was just wondering wtf wa&s happening

yep that's how it happened, there's nothing wrong with the seed file, it's just a consequence of loading a savestate from another ROM
