Save States

Save states offer a way to take a snapshot of the current progress in a game in order to load the game in the exact state it was saved.

Save states do not offer a secure way of saving a game progress (no long-term solution), internal save mechanism offered by the games should be used in priority. Often, save states will break when an emulator is updated.
