How to Load Savestates in VBA
------------------------------

VBA is VisualBoyAdvance

Savestates can be easily loaded using the F1-F10 keys at
the top of the keyboard. The savestates are files that end
in the extension .sgm. The name is the same name as the ROM
but has a number attached to it to identify which savestate
it is and which key loads it. For example, if the game is
named MyHack.gba, a savestate may be named MyHack1.sgm.
Then, by pressing "F1", that savestate will be loaded.

Savestates can be created at any time during the game and
loaded at any time. They are very useful and can be used
in a large variety of ways.

If you download a savestate, you will likely have to
rename it so you can easily load it. Likewise you can
use the menu in VBA to load it manually but this is
more time consuming and I don't recommend it.

Savestates may or may not load depending on the version
of the VBA emulator. For example, v1.8.0 savestates may
not work with v1.7.2 savestates because the newer format
is different from the older one, while v1.7.2 savestates
are likely to work with a newer emulator because the newer
emulator will be programmed to be able to use older formats
as well. The best way to avoid this is to simply use the
most up to date version of the emulator.
