Saving pokemon/zelda/etc. games

[hoffster12]

Ive looked through some posts but I can't find it.  Whenever i save the game and i turn ipod off, when i come back i have to restart.  It's the same for every game.  Zelda, mario, pokemon, etc.  Someone said something about flipping hold switch on/off but that didnt help.  Can anyone tell me how to do it?  preferably for pokemon cuz thats what ill be playing the most

I don't think the internal game saving is supported, you have to use save states.  To get to the emulator's menu, flick the hold switch on and then off, while in a game.

Additionally, I think I read on here about a problem with pokemon if you have the sound turned on.

EDIT: Aah yes, here it is:

"Normal" game saving (when you, for example, choose save in Final Fantasy) is supported and should work.

Please try to use proper words, not slang such as "thx".  Some punctuation would be nice too.
