Switching Rom from one emulator to another

[CrimsonKing]

Okay, I have saved an image in one emulator on the VBA. When I try loading that ROM file on the VBALink it starts from scratch. Does anyone know how I can load the rom onto VBALink? It's not like they are 2 totally separate emulators.

Do you mean a savestate? There a difference between a rom image (the actual game) and a savestate (a file that contains the state of the emulator at a certain time, such as sound registers, video register etc. of a certain game)

I used the same *image* on both emulators but when I have a progress in the game on VBA. VBALink is just a new game file called A. On each emulator I saved a different 'save state.' The VBALink is only loading the state from the saved state i made on VBALink. And VBA only with VBA. Can I load a save state made from VBA onto the VBALink?

Save statea don't usually transfer well between emulators, even if VBALink is a derivative build of VisualboyAdvance. Transferring battery SRAM is usually ok, but savestates a nono.

 

You might be stuck with this.

So i cant get VBALink to run the VBA savestate? No matter what?

I looks that way. I haven't tried VBALink, so I can't confirm.
