lol all the timeI had an advanced system of save states so that I could play every branch of a game with the least possible effort/time on my part...when you don't have a lot of time its really frustrating if you have to play the same repetative things over (like fighting a million baddies to get through an area which is just a time sink)

I find myself using them fairly frequently. I have been playing through Fire Emblem Sacred Stones recently and it is kind of nice to use in that game. It is especially useful because I can just load that up if a character dies (if you didn't know, characters that die in that stay dead forever). I use them in other games if I find myself in fear of dying or if I just need to turn off the game quick and am not close to a save point.

I use them alot. That's mostly on games that don't have "lifes" and just let you continue for as long as you can stand. Like Gundam SEED Battle Assult of Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed Destiny. (....Dumb Kira in Very Hard Mode...)

Fire Emblem doesn't matter which: save states at start of new move. If you lose your character, just replay the same move. Better than replaying the entire chapter... Ugh.Otherwise, hardly.

I save very ofter, because my computer tend to lag or crash.However sometimes i can't resist to load the save state in order to retry.Also since i'm really bad at ombat game i usually save/load ofter during them.In RPG and Racing game ( those who i play the most ) i usually don't.

He's right.People who use save states can't be called cheaters .It's not right,...... it's wrong.Well it isn'ta crime to use save states.Megaman zero series seems to be catered for emulators.Well anyway i finshed the game on my gba,but very slowly.Emulators are just a faster way of finishing things.

It also depents on the game, but mostly just when I want to get an move on, I hate having to do things over and over just because I mess up half way.

I use them all the time, its easier than normal saving since when you load the game you dont have to wait to go continue, just press F1 and your there. I try not to use them while Im in a battle but I do use them sometimes when I cant win.
