This repository has one goal. Create a savestates database for Arkadyzja!

Savestates for Arkadyzja are created in almost the same way as those for use by Fightcade - with the main difference being that the emulator uses OpenBIOS from PCSX-Redux Team (version 20240109) .

Therefore, let me quote the requirements from HeatXD repository, marking the difference with bold font.

By the way, if you have a useful save, I strongly recommend you to also support a Fightcade repository!

Requirements

• UPDATE! - You can use Arkadyzja Savestate Manager to simplify the creation of savestates and correct descriptions! Just remember to use the latest game revision and ensure both controllers are set to DIGITAL!

---

• Use the latest revision of the game for the savestate (if there is a valid reason to do otherwise - describe it).

• Both controllers need to be enabled, on digital mode (NOT analog).

• the game used to create the savestate has to be in the CHD file format (and its filename must be named "GAME-ID000.chd").

• the game has to be located in a folder called "ROMs" which is in the same directory as the duckstation executable this can be done like this in your settings.ini file.
  

• There can only be one recursive path entry. Duckstation will automatically generate this .ini file on first launch. Check Edit it AFTER you launch for the first time, and remove/replace any prior entries for RecursivePaths if necessary.

• Savestates MUST be created with the SCPH-7000W OpenBIOS (version 20240109).

• A MD5 file hash of the game should be supplied within the Issue README.md file in the right savestate folder.
  (The MD5 hash should refer to BIN files, and the information about the CHD file should include the so-called DATA SHA1 hash. (.\chdman info -i <filename>))

• Savestates should be verified to be working on the current fightcade Arkadyzja build.

• if a savestate requires cheats to make it complete please supply the savestate with the accompanying cheat file within the Issue savestate folder.

• A fitting description of the savestate. what does it unlock? at which screen does it start? etc.

An example of a correct directory tree with the location of savestates, bios, and the game itself
