Greetings, fellow vizzers!
Call me FleetingMoogle. Though new, I am getting the hang of things, bit by bit.
How I came to this site? Well, my country isn't as fond of older games or consoles; my childhood was the Mega Drive and its collection of older games, but now, on the few stores that choose to sell what gamers love, I only see the newest games and consoles, such as PS3, Wii and Xbox 360. How on Earth could I find the 2003 GBA game Final Fantasy Tactics Advance? So, a friend of mine gave me the link to this site. And here I am.

Its friendly demeanor and apparent simplicity are very charming, but for now, I'm considering myself only half saved. I did download the required ROM for FFTA, had to restart twice because I hadn't known you could make accounts on this site (silly me), and began the game again now with an account. Took on some long missions and saved the game, at least thrice on the same file. But now that I went to continue it, the saved file wasn't there. The option to load was greyed out. I am unsure if this is the right forum for this kind of question, but: what may have gone wrong this time?

Hello FleetingMoogle, nice to meet you and welcome to Vizzed Board.

Your problem is a bit weird and would be better  if it was in the Retro Game Room forums I suppose. Unfortunately, I have no idea about what is wrong

Anyway, enjoy your stay, have fun and feel free to ask if you have any questions

Welcome to Vizzed! I hope you have fun!

As far as your save issue goes, (assuming you are on the same computer that you made the save from) if you saved in game, but didn't use the "Save state" built into the emulator, the Rom will not have your save information when you start the game back up.

In order to stop this from happening again use the save state feature on the emulator. You can save anywhere you want in-game, and always be sure to be able to return to your game at a later date.

Hey welcome to Vizzed Board!

Sorry that you've been having problems on here, hope you continue to have a lot of fun the RGR!

See you around

Welcome to vizzed, FleetingMoogle! Hope you enjoy the site with the RGR, Forum, and Chat! If you have any questions feel free to ask me or the staff. We can help anytime!

Happy Posting!

Hello, welcome to Vizzed. I hope you have a nice stay. There are a lot of things you can do here.

SO were you able to figure out the stuff about the save states? Did our tips help you be able to save your game again?

Greetings FleetingMoogle, I'm new here too, only a few days. What Megadrive games were your favourites? I was a big fan, I grew up with that blessed console  

The save issue you're having is similar to mine I had to un install the emulator and re-install, although try using the saved state on the emulator first, just press the button that it is assigned to several times, it should work, if not un-installing and re-installing is a good option.

Hope to see you around on here, happy gaming

Hi fleetingsmoogle , enjoy your time on Vizzed , try to post when you can and enjoy games that you like . Our community is friendly so do not be shy to ask more questions if you need.

Jordanv78 :

Hope you are having fun on the site! What game(s) are you playing now?

Hello and welcome to vizzed! I'm the infamous random guy speaking.
Come here for games as always...
You will have a great time here, playing games, watching cartoons and chatting.
You can even post on the VIZZED BOARD here, where you can do many things.
In the RETRO GAME ROOM you can play games and review them. You will have to download the free plugin to run some games.
Don't worry, it's virus free! you can also look at cheats and codes for the game you are playing.
(Incase you didn't know, I have a system for newbie forums. This is an automated message)
Anyway, Davideo7 is putting a bunch of work into the site with the help of others.
If you have a good idea that hasn't been implemented or told before, drop a word to him.
If you can't find a good game, look at the hacks and homebrews!
Also, If something is smelling bad around here (a bug) Just report it in the bug thread.
(Remember to take the newbie quiz.)
If you want to be trusted, don't bug people or cheat.
You have to sit and make a bunch of quality posts.
It might sound boring, but it's pretty fun, lazing about writing a bunch of stuff.
(Remember to stay on topic... I had a hard time doing that!)
If Vizzed is getting boring, visit the chat room, tell your friends about it!
More people the better the website.
I also love chi-- oh wait - I'm not introducing myself.
If you can't find good games, just look in the different genres and look at the hacks.
If thats STILL boring, I just say... Try The toon room.
Davideo7 and his staff are working on making Vizzed more and more fun!
This board is the best. It's not full of flames and spam. It's family friendly.
If I said a rude word, I wont just get banned if I had a reason. I get a warning, which will soon lead to a ban.
If I still spam and be rude, then It could lead to a perma - ban.
This is another reason multiple accounts aren't allowed.
Also, Tour de vizzed is on every now and then.
Try to aim for a rainbow jersey for getting the jerseys.
Don't just try to aim for your favourite color, though...
Try aiming for every single jersey!
You might even get a color you don't want.
Rainbow jerseys mean more people will go "Ooh! Tons of posts!" And might give you a trust point.
So, pretty much, If you still can't find a fun game... try waiting. tRIUNE and Davideo7 are still putting
TONS of games into Vizzed!
Impressive, huh?
Anyways, Vizzed is the sec-- BEST website ever.
If you don't agree, then you my friend... Try visiting that site once more...
Look at it, compare it to Vizzed, quit the other site and become an admin here.
Good luck!~
GOOD BYE, YELLO!
(Ps - Trusted may sound usless, but It gives you a bunch more oppurtunitys.
like making a layout and signiture.)
Right now, as you can see... I'm trying to earn two jerseys. Most + biggest posts in a day.
If you try to go for one, I congratulate you.
(Also, Bye. I wanted to add something extra to make this post over 500 words.)
