These are the saves I use. I downloaded like 3 differenct ROMs (SMC, SFC, FIG) but all of them don't accept the SRM file. The SRM has the same name as the ROM and is in the same directory. I use ZSNES 1.5 as emulator.

Can anyone get this to work?

Did you rename the ROM or the SRM?

Yes, I gave the SRM file the name of the ROM.

Hi Davy. I maintain that site. Just in case I went through and double-checked one of my saves with the ROM provided in my site, and the save does work so everything's good on my end. So...
  • Make sure you are using the Romancing SaGa 3 ROM provided in my site.
  • When you download one of my saves, each zip contains 1 SRM file and a ReadMe. Extract the SRM file from the zip.
  • Place the SRM file in the same folder where the Romancing SaGa 3 ROM resides. Rename the SRM file to the EXACT name of the Romancing SaGa 3 ROM (without changing its file extension).
  • If this renaming process is confusing, I show you exactly how it's done in my video tutorial for patching: https://youtu.be/7X8iTdRzLMo

Reverse that. Make a copy of the ROM and give it the name of the SRM file.

Duplicate the ROM? That's not necessary.

It's frustrating, but I tried again. Unzipped ROM/SRM are in the same directory and have the same name (file extension wasn't touched). I click on the game, zsnes pops up and I get to the title. I try to go on "Continue" but the cursor doesn't move. I click and come to new game, can switch the cursor easily between the different characters.

Never had this before.
