Game Saves
Q: GAME SAVES?
Did you accidentally delete your saved game in the Super Nintendo version of Tales of Phantasia? 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 three saved games (a save in each slot). The ending save at the very bottom is a ZSNES *.zst save state, which only works on ZSNES and Snes9X.
DIRECTIONS!
I have step-by-step directions in my Game Saves Tutorial.
The Saves
Save #1: The Adventure Begins

Save #2: Contracting with Spirits
