Subject: snapshots

Has there been any development in snapshot formats?
How many people have developed their own and how many people are
using the xbeeb one?
I would prefer to see a more extensible format, with each bit of the format
being optional - ie it has a few flags, one for main memory, one for
each sideways ROM socket, one for each bit of hardware that is memory
mapped, etc, specifying whether that part has been saved.
(and support for master 128 snaps)
Maybe each bit should have a length associated with it, so you could for eg 
have a snapshot that was just a screen shot without wastage etc

I very much like the snapshot starting &BC &BB

If the timers are in one-shot mode, presumably  we also need to save 
whether they have "gone off" or not?

comments please,

Mike
