Manually saving with an iPod

[Circa01]

Hey, I'm new to this emulator business, but I have an iPod touch 2G that's jailbroken so I got snes9x ex. It has an auto save state though, which does t save enough for me, so I go to options, click gamepad, and go down to save state. It tells me to push key to set, but there's nothing there to push, and nothing happens when I tap around. How do I set it so I can manually save my states
?

Please help, thank you!

The option to map different functions expects you to have some sort of external input device, like a bluetooth keyboard or gamepad. In the meantime, you can simply drop back to the menu while in-game and select 'Save State'.
