Save State

A save state captures the emulator’s complete memory at an instant, letting you resume from that precise moment regardless of whether the original game supported saving there. It is one of emulation’s genuine quality-of-life wins, ideal for handhelds picked up in short bursts. The usual caution applies: states are tied to a specific emulator and often a specific version, so they are a convenience layer, not a substitute for a game’s own save system.
