Can you give a little more detail how the save/load slots work and
how they would be set in a configuration file? I'd like to start
supporting this in Hi-Toro.

The base name for a savestate file is giving by the config option 'statefile='.

If this is supplied in a config file or on the command-line and the file
exists, E-UAE will resume from that state at start up.


Ideally, pressing F12+F5/F12+LShift+F5 will pop up dialogs to save and load
state to/from a specified file. This isn't implemented yet on OS X or Linux.


The quick load/save functions do work. These will save and load state if a
statefile name has been given either as config option (or on the command
line) or if the user has used a save/load state dialog since starting E-UAE.
These don't present a dialog and use the base filename with the number of the
slot appended.


E.g., if the user has previously used a dialog to save state to a file
called 'state.uss' and then pressed the keys to invoke quick save to slot 5,
then the current state would be saved to a file called 'state_5.uss'.


Cheers,
Rich
