HP-48/49/50 emulation on iOS

[Raymond Del Tondo]

If you have m48+ up and running, and installed your files into the virtual HP 48,
then you can double-tap on the virtual screen and tap on "Save" or "Save as".
"Save" should show up only if m48+ started up using a previously saved state file.

So tapping on "Save" will overwrite the currently loaded state file with the current calculator state.

"Save as" lets you create a new state file.
A state file is kinda snapshot of the current state of the machine,
including the complete calculator-side configuration, including all libraries and vars,
including port contents (if ports are enabled), and including info about the m48+ application configuration, like chosen skin, ROM and KML.

NOTE: State files do not include the ROM or skin or KML themselves, only info about the chosen ones.

Even after you swiped the m48+ app off from the iOS task manager,
on next call it (m48+) starts with the latest chosen state file (with the restriction I mentioned in an earlier post)

Using state files can save _much_ time;-)

You can even take your state files from one iDevice to another.
However that works best if you store the state files in the (m48+ - local) "Documents" folder that you have to create manually, see my previous post.

EDIT: Inserted some info about what state files actually store.
If you want to use your state file(s) on another iDevice, be sure to have all ROMs, skins, KMLs, etc. available there, too.
