i use saved states as often as i could! i'm not a twiddle thumbs kind of guy and i want my game near perfect.and also with games like ogre tactics, so i can get better results with each attack or action.

I use it if I need to stop playing and it's a game where you can only save at certain points, or if I feel the need to mess around with the game processes - like in F.F tactics advance, you save state before a powerful move, and keep reloading if it misses.

I never use save states! I like games that are hard, and save states take that away.

Everytimes! I love the 'Save State'! Whenever i feel that there are risk in the game that i played, i always use the save state. It's totally useful! Not to mention the increased speed too! Hahaha! GBA EMULATOR ROCKS!!!!!

I just use them right before I quit the game, maybe every once in a while when the game is really hard and I want to make sure I don't die.

I use them if the game has limited continues, a redundant movement system (Mortal Kombat sucks), ridiculous difficulty (inclusive to sadistic hackers who think annoying me is a good thing), or the emulator cannot save the game correctly in the normal sense.Which is very rarely.

Hehe.I used to use them instead of saving (faster and no stupid save points).But lately I've been using them to cheat (ie. luck)10% means 9 re-tries to be successful. >=(
