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.

The following emulators offer save state functionality that is compatible with RetroBat:
