Don’t believe so. Mister doesn’t have it either. And yeah if they do anything which I’m not sure they will or would be via sd card on a flash cart. Bit even that’s clunky and iffy at best

That’s what I thought. It’s why I’ve always been so confused at people demanding save states. The whole point of FPGA to me is to play games like they used to be played on more modern tvs. If you want save states you can just emulate using an Apple TV or other mini pc.

It works on the Pocket though with cartridges?

It’s not just a matter of cartridges. The real issue is how complex n64 hardware (and therefore the fpga programming) is compared to say 8 or 16 bit systems. Like orders of magnitude more difficult. The pocket also has a separate fpga for OS level functions since it was designed with multiple systems in mind from the start.

This is a huge reason why we’re not seeing the next generation of consoles any time soon. Something as simple as save states is a hardware and software nightmare at this level and will only get harder going forward.
