Hi mate,

so I learnt little about the save state feature in Dolphin. Very usefull thing indeed, especially for the texture creators. Wish I knew about it much much sooner haha:)

I put that in Hex and saw a lot of unseen interesting "sound" info. I just dont know what to do with it.

I also added the version (the latest at that time) of Dolphin where I made those saves.
I feel so excited with what you will discover!

Thank you!!

edit: I will send all to your mail..

here is some progress..

I think that savestates are LZO compressed...?

https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Core/Core/State.cpp

Apparently there's this EnableCompression function which can be used to create uncompressed savestates... It's never called, and compression defaults to on.

I haven't compressed them.
I dont even know what LZO is :)

Well I used rar to make them smaller for uploading, if that's what you referring to?

Dolphin compresses savestates while saving them and decompresses them when loading state. I suspect you won't get much out of them with just a hex editor.

I don't know if the whole thing is compressed or not. DId you manage to find valid information from savestates? Then that might because some parts are uncompressed and viewable (editable?).

Yes,

there were many "readable" stuff to find in Hex. For example word "stream" or "sound" several times.

Even the names of players and teams, but that's not what we need :)

Maybe it isn't compressed at all...? I don't know... The code looks like savestates are compressed, but I might be wrong.

Ya,

and are those data useful for our thing?
