Game State is a separate file

State saves the exact moment of the game. It can be downloaded, transferred to another computer and opened later with the same ROM and kernel.

File .nesstate contains status data and ROM fingerprint. When loading, the game and kernel are checked to ensure that the wrong file is not used. In-game SRAM saves, if the game supports them, are stored separately in the browser storage; they can be imported and exported through the emulator menu.

Saving the game

Game State is downloaded as a separate file and opens with the same ROM and kernel. SRAM game saves are available in the same browser profile; To transfer, use the state file.
