I use save states before big bosses as a backup and when I have to leave in a hurry and can't save normally.

Actually, I consider save states as fast-save XD but sometimes, it can be considered cheating, hmm, who care anyway?

I use mine right after some takes a really long time to talk and it takes forever to go through, so i just save it right after so I don't have to listen again. :s

Well it's a question for all emulator users including me?How often do you use the save state function in (insert emulator name here) while playing games? :s Well i don't use it much in rpgs and stuff.But megaman zero series,i'm a gonner without them.What about you?

i use it on mostly all my games. One time i didn't save save my games in the local drive and when i save states my computer was full of it.

I use the save state function anytime I complete something major, or right before a boss battle. Other than that, I don't use it very often. I try to keep my saving limited to where it would be done in the game normally.

I don't really like using save states because it takes the challenge out of the games, I don't like the idea that you can just go back in time to fix up something that you just screwed up in the game.

I don't use them a lot on the VBA really. Mainly because there are no games I need them for. They could be helpful to use to influence stat ups in Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, but for everything else.....I do use them a lot on the ZSNES though, especially for the Mega Man games, and I use them a lot on my NES emulator too (also mainly for the Mega Man games). But, as the above poster said, it takes away every bit of challenge a game has and that's not much fun IMO.
