A '''savestate''' (also known as a snapshot) is a file that when loaded on most [[emulator|emulators]] updates [[save file|save data]] to an exact point, without having to do anything other than load the file. Savestates even save the point where the background music is. Often they are easier to use than a [[save file]], as no saving operation has to be done within the game. The common file extension for savestates is .sn*, * being a one-digit number. As the filename of savestates must correspond exactly with that of the [[ROM]] it is for, the number in the extension is used for multiple savestates to exist for one ROM. |
