//...ducks in a row stuff... ;)

For src/osdep/gui/PanelSavestate.cpp ...

        helptext.clear();
        helptext.emplace_back("Savestates can be used with floppy disk image files, whdload.lha files, and with HDD");
        helptext.emplace_back("emulation setups.");
        helptext.emplace_back(" ");
        helptext.emplace_back("Note: Savestates will not work when emulating CD32/CDTV machine types, and will likely");
        helptext.emplace_back("fail when the JIT/PPC/RTG emulation options are enabled.");
        helptext.emplace_back(" ");
        helptext.emplace_back("Savestates are stored in a .uss file, with the name being that of the currently loaded");
        helptext.emplace_back("floppy disk image or whdload.lha file, or the name of the loaded HDD .uae config.");
        helptext.emplace_back(" ");
        helptext.emplace_back("When you hold left shoulder button and press 'l' during emulation, the state of the ");
        helptext.emplace_back("last active 'slot' number will be loaded. Hold left shoulder button and press 's' to");
        helptext.emplace_back("save the current state in the last active slot.");
        helptext.emplace_back(" ");
        helptext.emplace_back("For more information about Savestates, please read the related Amiberry Wiki page.");
        helptext.emplace_back(" ");
        return true;

Note: I'm not real sure about the para wrt controller/kbd actions ~ I left it as-is just in case (I'll check it later ;)

TIA

Additional: I just checked L-shoulder + 'l' & L-shoulder + 's' --- these combinations do not action savestate operations as described....

I had originally left that para in place, supposing the instructions were valid for older versions of Amiberry ~ is that actually the case, or have these controller/kbd combinations become broken over the years?

The L/R shoulder buttons used to be used for this function, but that has been rewritten with the updated controller mapping code, so it's no longer hardcoded there.

Ahh, ok .... I'll let you deal with that para then.... perhaps it no longer belongs?
