Alright I open up any snes .scm file and then when its open and I want to save I go to the menu and click "Save (Write SRAM) and it creates an SRM file. But when ever I try and open the srm file up in snes9xGP it just gives me a black screen and does nothing. How on earth do I save?
 
You don't open up the .srm file! Duh! You open up the rom, and load your game first. Then inside the game, load the saved file. The save feature is not like a save-state feature also. To save games, first be in the game and save normally (in the game, not the snes9xgp menu). After you saved in the game, go to the menu and choose Save. This writes the .srm file. Then, when you want to load your save, open the rom and load your game from inside the game. You should know that you don't open up the .srm file, unless you're a total emulation noob :D .
 
Don't confuse SRAM and Savestate!
The SRAM is the battery backupped cartridge memory
(e.g. in Zelda when you select SAVE from within the game).
It is automatically loaded when you start the rom the next time.

Edit: Aahh, Azure, you just were a tiny little bit faster than me ;)
 
Both of you are correct, but some people might not know what you mean by SAVE STATES and SRAM SAVES.

SAVE STATES is a feature that many emulators offer in which you can save AT ANY POINT during the game.

SRAM SAVES are the save points offered BY THE GAME ITSELF, so like when you play ZELDA or POKEMON and when you pause the game, the GAME ITSELF offers a SAVE GAME feature before you shut down your system so that you can continue where you left off next time.

In SNES9xGP you only have SRAM SAVES. You play your games as you would play them on a real SNES and save ONLY when the game allows you to save. When you want to turn off your system, you go to the menu and click on SAVE SRAM. This way next time you turn on your system and select the same ROM, it will load the available SRAM SAVE.
