I know that emulation of current systems is something that we don't like to talk about, but I am not asking where to get roms or anything.

My question is one a Mac running OSX 10.4 Tiger, when using the really neat program Boycott Advance to play GBA Roms, where does it make the game saves? I play games and when it gets to a save part is says that it saves, everything looks normal, but then when I start the game again it acts like it is the first time I have played. Doesn't ask to load a save or even look for one.

I have looked on my Mac where I have the few Roms that I do play and there is no extra files there that were generated by the saves. Also in the folder where the actual program is there doesn't appear to be any saves either.

Can anyone let me know how to save games on Boycott Advance. Maybe I need to download something else to make it work. I already have downloaded a extra support pack that allows for the use of USB controlers, but I still have had no luck with saves.

Any help would be great!

Look in the document folder in your HDD for a folder named Boycott Advance. I don't know for Boycott Advance (haven't played it in a while), but I know that MacMAME now requires for all the backup files (including Roms) to be put together in a MacMAME folder within the Documents folder. Maybe the latest version of Boycott Advance does the same thing.
