Summary: Snapshot Saves produce error

Initial Comment:
Saving a snapshot in z80 or sna format always gives this error:

"Some information has been lost in conversion; the snapshot may not work"

The snapshots do load back into Fuse, albeit with this dialog:

"Configure Joystick
The snapshot you are loading is configured for a cursor joystick connected to the keyboard and joystick 1. Fuse is not currently configured for a cursor joystick, would you like to connect the joystick to:"

They don't load on other emulators tho, which is a shame as I'm trying to get a game I've written online with Hob (http://twinbee.org/hob/)

any ideas please?

Message:
I thought that might be the case so have 'None' selected in the Peripherals
prefs, and no joysticks set as emulated.

I'm using the default rom and 48k spectrum as the machine — I'm mainly
interested in a game I've produced myself (thorough a complier so only have
a TAP format), but I've tried all sorts of games with the same result.

Message:
z80 and sna formats don't support many computers and peripherals supported
by Fuse, and also don't support any spectrum with full fidelity. You get
the information lost message when you have enabled some option that cannot
be faithfully represented in the format.

What game are you trying to snapshot and what hardware emulation options
do you have enabled?
