How to Save and Reload

[HistorianXYZ]

So far I've only played one game on the GBA, which is "Urbz: Sims in The City", which I'd wanted to play for years. I don't know if any other GBA games would interest me. Unfortunately, I've found out that I can't save, then later reload my progress in the game. Is there a way of doing this? If so, then how exactly can I do it?

Core provides 4 slots to save and restore the state. Those can be saved to SDCard or reside only in memory for temporary use(OSD Option). Usage with either Keyboard, Gamepad mappable button or OSD.

Keyboard Hotkeys for save states:

Alt-F1..F4 - save the state
F1...F4 - restore
Gamepad:

Savestatebutton+Left or Right switches the savestate slot
Savestatebutton+Down saves to the selected slot
Savestatebutton+Up loads from the selected slot

Besides save states, you can of course use the save feature of the game itself. In the core menu, set autosave to on and then save settings. Thereafter, the in-game saves will be written to the SD card each time you open the core menu. Just remember to open the core menu before powering off MiSTer.
