Always. I never use them to cheat, just because it's so much faster to load the game that way. I hate wasting 17 seconds to load from a save file. :P

I use them, even though they seem like cheating alot of the times (actually, all of the time). They're good, if you want to 'bookmark' a scene that only appears once in the game though.

I used to use states during boss fights in games like final fantasy, and it is alot faster than saving the normal way.

I like to save my final fantasy 5 advance game before every single battle... so, probably around a minute in between.

I mainly use it when I want to stop playing but can't bother searching for a save point in the game. And also in boss fights, when they're too tough and I don't want to start again >.< I try not to use it too much.

I use save states on RPG games! :wtf: Because sometimes when I get stuck, I can just go back there... And for some RPG games, there are different save points.

i use save states whenever there are split decisions to be made in an rpg or if ur in an adventure game where difficult maneuvering to obstacles are required. That's an advantage of playing emulated games from the real thing--the save states.

too right i use the save states , you should always save , i have experienced crashes and my pda and at times on my laptop , so they are handy to have for that , but i use them before and after bosses and certain leveling up , and also if there is a pokemon i want , i save at the start of the fight and then chop and change pokemon to lower its stats for capture , very very handy the save state function is .......
