A '''savestate''' is a file generated by an [[emulator]] which contains all the data that was in the [[RAM]], [[VRAM]], [[Z80]] RAM and all other parts of the console's memory at the moment of its creation. Savestates created by [[Gens]] or [[Genecyst]] have the extension '''.GS*''', whereas savestates generated by [[KGen]] have the extension '''.KS*'''. These two types of savestate are not interchangeable (i.e. you can't load a KGen savestate with Gens).
