Hmm... Just curious, are you sure it isn't a bug in the emulator? I mean, it sounds like if you play offline (on the same computer) it works well, and online it works well until you load a save state.... Save states are supposed to be "snapshots" of the cpu and ram so there shouldn't be any out of sync... Another suggestion (probably useless because it would be hard to implement in rom hacking): Calculate each frame a "checksum" of every sprite/object/whatever ingame and print it out (if mupen can do it, i dunno). Then compare them manually to see which sprite is causing the desyncing. I used that trick a while back with a Mario fangame. It featured multiplayer based on sending the keys. I had a bug somewhere which caused it to desync. So the clients calculated a "checksum" of all the sprites and sent it to the server. When the server detected a mismatch, it immediately stopped the game. That way, touching spikes halted instantly the game so i knew where the bug was It's probably impossible to implement in your case, i'm just throwing possibly helpful ideas at you ____________________

	I would really like to connect to myself so that I could take advantage of things like that, but I don't see a way to do it. Kaillera seems to refuse me connecting to myself, for one thing... ____________________
