Save states are fast and efficient. You can easily open a game and continue from where you were when you last used the save state, immediately. No ingame loads or any other time-consuming matter of that sort.

I use save state all the time to play through the game. After knowing the game better, I tried to play the game through once more without using save states.

I only use savestates when I get to a part that I really like, I consider them cheating so I don't use them right before a boss fight or anything like that. I try to pretend that I'm actually playing the real (insert console here) instead of an emulator.

I try to only save state when I could save the game if I was playing it on a real GBA because I don't like games that are too easy.

i use save states ALOT because most games i play are consist of random monster battling. Since, i HATE battling monsters again adn again, i save a lot to avoid repeated work.

Yeah. Any game with random chancing (for example, a random rare drop chance) I use save states for. Or if I wanna preserve a game right before a fun battle, or right before an important decision. Otherwise, I don't use savestates.

If I play game that use tactic I always save state a lot. But if just like action, I usually don't use save state.

I use it like crazy. Maybe I'm paranoid something will happen to me so I do it maybe every minute or so.

Normaly never. However for MegaMan Zero, I have to use a save state at almost every boss!

At least untill I analize thier attack patterns, Then it's easy as heck.

Haha! I use them most of the time! Especially when I'm before the Boss' room because I want to make sure that I'm in the proper level to fight the Boss. I also use them in Harvest Moon when I'm bored tho! Lol! I use save stats before I go to the confessional room so that I'd get the proper confession from Carter...

Meh. I don't like using them unless the game I'm emulating simply can't save for some reason. It just feels like cheating.

i use the save and load state mostly in yugioh gx duel academy (as thre are small test or quiz in it sort of exam) even if it is very old now and before that i save much states for pokemon emerald as i finished beating the elite four it would say that the save file has been erased , so i would use the save state to load it and re-try as much time needed for it to save and it would.
