rc_runtime_deserialize_progress

Restores the current state of the runtime.

Syntax

int rc_runtime_deserialize_progress(
    const rc_runtime_t* runtime,
    const unsigned char* serialized,
    lua_State* L
);

Parameters

runtime

Pointer to the runtime state object that will have its progress captured.

serialized

A block of memory where the serialized state will be read from. This block should have been previously created by rc_runtime_serialize_progress.

L (NOT USED)

A pointer to a lua_State that contains the LUA functions needed by the runtime. May be NULL if the runtime does not use LUA functions.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is RC_OK. Otherwise, the error code can be converted to a string using rc_error_str.

Remarks

This should be used to restore the current state of the runtime any time the current state of the emulator is restored (i.e. after loading a save state). To do so, the runtime state must be captured using rc_runtime_serialize_progress when the emulator state is captured.

Any achievements that have been added or changed since the state was captured will have their hit counts reset to 0 and be reset to the "waiting" state.

If deserialization fails, all achievements will have their hit counts reset to 0 and be reset to the "waiting" state.

Minimum version: 9.0.0
