GAME SAVES
Game saves?
Did you accidentally delete your saved game in Earthbound on SNES? 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. ^_^
What are these?
Each save is an *.srm file. SRM files are compatible with any SNES emulator that supports SRM saves. These were tested and verified to work with the most popular emulators: Snes9x, BSNES, and RetroArch.
Directions
I have step-by-step directions in my Game Saves Tutorial. Using game saves is very easy, though. All you need to do is locate the folder where your emulator saves its saves. Place my SRM file there, and rename it to the same name as your Earthbound ROM. For example, if your Earthbound ROM is called “Earthbound (U).zip”, then you need to rename my save to “Earthbound (U).srm”. Also, if your emulator is open while you do this, you should close it & re-open it. That's the gist of it. My Game Saves Tutorial goes into more detail.

Save #37: Ending (ZSNES save states)
This zip file contains ZSNES save states because, within the game, there are no further save points once the final battle begins. These save states are only compatible with ZSNES on Windows. If using ZSNES is not feasible for you, you need to use Game Save #36 above (the last SRM file on this page) and play through the final battle to view the ending. Anyway, this zip file contains the following save states:
zst) Last Boss.
zs1) Ending.
zs2) Ending 2.
