# CORE STATE/PLAYBACK OPTIONS

Description This option determines the name format used to create save state files when running systems. There are three possible wildcards you can use to name the file and you can use a back slash (/) as a separator to create sub folders. The wildcards are...
  1. %g = System Name
  2. %i = Save Number In #### Format
  3. %d_ = Software Image Name Based On Format
The number generated by the %i option increases for each save state. If the %i isn't added then the save file is overwritten.
