How to use save states in dolphin? - EarthBoundAddict - 02-27-2016
So I've recently started a fire emblem: path of radiance playthrough and I don't want to restart an entire chapter everytime someone dies so therefore would like save states to make the game just a bit easier.
The thing is every time I press shift + f1 my laptop just pulls up my files. What exactly am I doing wrong?

Make sure dolphin has window focus when you press the key combo.

Maybe it's one of those laptops where you have to hold Fn to get the actual F1 key instead of a special key?

Sorry if this sounds stupid. I'm not very experienced with laptops but what is Windows focus?

It's whatever program you're working in, usually the front-most window.
You can also try this
Go to Options > Hotkey settings and find "save save slot #", middle click (scroll wheel click) the box to clear it and rebind it to whatever you like. Same for load.
