serialization differs between platforms

[Jookia]

I'm not sure this is a technical bug, but it's not documented why serialization would differ - I'm on Linux amd64, and a friend is on Windows using the same core, downloaded from inside RetroArch. I'm unsure if the serialization is supposed to be different ("[ERROR] CMD_LOAD_SAVESTATE received an unexpected save state size." happens), and whether it's a simple case of 'pointers being double-width because Windows builds are 32bit' or 'TGB Dual Windows code uses different data structures'

Could someone explain this to me?

it's pretty common, savestates are often not cross architecture.
In som cases they can be fixed easily, in others they can't.
