Saving games under WHDload.

How do i set things up to save games that have a save game feature as in Dungeon Master which requires a
floppy disk to be inserted ?

Also can games in general be save stated ?

With WHDLoad you just save the game as though you have put a save disc in normally and it has its own save folder that stores the game save

Only thing is that you need to quit the game properly with the quit key, when WHDload games are running they are loaded into memory including disk write operations. It is only stored when you quit in order to reduce the amount of disk access.

This behavior can be changed with the option NoWriteCache/S, but not recommended as it will operate slower (you will see some flickering when saving as it changes between OS and WHD)
