Save/Load

js-dos supports saving and restoring game progress. You can play game from time to time without losing progress. It's working automatically while you don't change bundle url.

This feature works by dumping changes in file system into second bundle and use it to override original file system on next load. You can read more about actual implementation here.

Save/Load feature works automatically whenever player press save icon, or exiting the game. However, game itself should support storing progress. Because, js-dos is only storing changes in file system.

warning

By default, js-dos store game progress in indexed db of browser. This data can be wiped at any moment by browser. You can avoid this problem using js-dos cloud services.
