or other words how make a copy of rom which will incluinding actual state of 68k ram since paused the emulation?

is possible ?

someone know or a program to compare two savegames and save the diference ?

Any save state or RAM dump will include the state of 68K RAM. I'm not aware of any emulator that dumps the actual ROM as part of a save state, though. In my experience they just include the file name of the executing ROM and when the save state is loaded, the emulator tries to load that ROM again. There's no reason you couldn't stuff them into the same file. I just don't quite know why you'd want to.

The only reason I can think of is for disassembly purposes, and any good disassembler will allow you to add a RAM segment to a ROM disassembly, and then you can import any dump you want.

There are thousands of programs for comparing the contents of two different files. Most hex editors have a compare feature; your OS has the ability to compare two files on the command line, if not through a GUI; and there are stand-alone compare utilities. How useful, quick and easy those might be varies depending on what you're trying to do. If you're looking for something that also interprets the data as named values within a particular game, those have to be purpose-built. Generic utilities will just tell you that a byte at some file location differs from the same byte in the other file.

i try will explain to you
on the mk1 original rom if you create a savestate on first fight demo .... and then loads the save state on reptile hack after the fight demo goro lives screen will loads normally on the hack which not happen normally without save state from original rom

in resume goro lives is pre-setted to load when the rom loads a first fight demo

i want a program to join the savestate + more the rom hack on one file..and so i will not need to loads savestate everytime
and since i am not a hacker

and of course i don´t know what parts of 68k ram savestate is doing this loads of goro lives screen

in resume to fix that

if i pm the two savestates and the rom hack

can someone put this fix on the rom to me ?

note: this trick of loads save from original rom just works one time ..... when the rom seeking .... the next time if you don´t load the save again the screen will not appear
