| 362 | .B \-snapname \fIstring |
| 363 | Describes how MESS should name files for snapshots. \fIstring\fP |
| 364 | provides a template that is used to generate a filename. Three |
| 359 | 365 | simple substitutions are provided: the / character represents the |
| 360 | | path separator on any target platform (even Windows); the string \fI%g\fP |
| 361 | | represents the driver name of the current system; and the string \fI%i\fP |
| 362 | | represents an incrementing index. If \fI%i\fP is omitted, then each |
| 366 | path separator on any target platform (even Windows); the literal \fB%g\fP |
| 367 | represents the driver name of the current system; and the literal \fB%i\fP |
| 368 | represents an incrementing index. If \fB%i\fP is omitted, then each |
| 363 | 369 | snapshot taken will overwrite the previous one; otherwise, MESS will |
| 364 | | find the next empty value for \fI%i\fP and use that for a filename. The |
| 365 | | default is \fI%g/%i\fP, which creates a separate folder for each game, |
| 370 | find the next empty value for \fB%i\fP and use that for a filename. The |
| 371 | default is '%g/%i', which creates a separate folder for each game, |

| 375 | \fB%d\fP\fI_[media]\fP indicator. Replace \fI[media]\fP with the media |
| 376 | switch you want to use. A few examples: if you use |
| 377 | .B mess nes \-cart robby \-snapname %g/%d_cart |
| 378 | snapshots will be saved as \fBsnaps/nes/robby.png\fP; if you use |

| 404 | .B \-statename \fIstring |
| 405 | Describes how MESS should store save state files, relative to the |
| 406 | state_directory path. \fIstring\fP provides a template that |
| 407 | is used to generate a relative path. Two simple substitutions are |
| 408 | provided: the / character represents the path separator on any target |
| 409 | platform (even Windows); the literal \fB%g\fP represents the driver name of |
| 410 | the current game. The default is '%g', which creates a separate folder |
| 411 | for each game. In addition to the above, for drivers using different |
| 412 | media, like carts or floppy disks, you can also use the |
| 413 | \fB%d_\fP\fI[media]\fP indicator. Replace \fI[media]\fP with the media |
| 414 | switch you want to use. A few examples: if you use |
| 415 | .B mess nes \-cart robby \-statename %g/%d_cart |
| 416 | save states will be stored inside \fBsta/nes/robby/\fP; if you use |
| 417 | .B mess c64 \-flop1 robby \-statename %g/%d_flop1 |
