Q: GAME SAVES?
Did you accidentally delete your saved game in Secret in Mana? Do you want to skip certain parts of the game? Do you want to search for specific game sprites to capture? Whatever the case may be, these game saves are here to save the day. ^_^

Q: WHAT ARE THESE?
Each save is an *.srm file (compatible with any SNES emulator). Each *.srm file contains four saved games (a save in each slot).

IMPORTANT NOTE!
These saves were captured from "Secret of Mana: Enhanced", so they will only work properly with "Secret of Mana: Enhanced". Why? Well, most people who play Secret of Mana via video game emulation play the enhanced version. It's only practical to capture from this version only. If you don't have it you can download it in Downloads.

MORE INFO!
Contained in these zip archives are text files containing a detailed description about each save. This description lists the save's location, current status of the plot, current character levels, current weapon levels, current equipment, current inventory, current GP, and current essential weapon orb.

CREDIT!
Oh, I wasn't the one who obtained these saves. Each and every game save and the information in each zip archive is all thanks to the one known as "OhNoMelon" from my forum.

DIRECTIONS!
Using game saves is easy. Just rename the save state to that of your ROM (but don't change its file extension). Here's an example:

 ROM name: "secretofmana.smc"
Save state: "som_save.srm" ....rename to, "secretofmana.srm"
 
Then load the game and choose "Continue" at the title screen.
