User guide

How to use

Open the menu in game using the combination key. After the menu appears select Local Save or Global Save to save state; Same as load state.

Alternatively you can use shortcut controls, without going through the PSPStates menu.

Savestates

Save states can be saved and loaded from ms0:/PSP/SAVESTATE/ (default) or ms0:/seplugins/pspstates/SAVESTATE/ (change path in the Config file).

Local savetates - Load/save states from within the same game/homebrew id.
Global savetates - Load/save states from any game/hombrew.

Local and Global save states share exactly the same format. If you want to convert one to the other, just change the filename accordingly.

You can save up to 9 slots for each Local Save and Global Save (18 in total).

Configuration

Settings can be customized in the states_menu_pict_mod.ini.

You can change the combination control keys, color settings for the menu, location for loading saves etc.

Note from developer:

For faster operation, it is recommended that you set speed to 333 for game in vshmenu or recovery.

The size of the file may vary depending of the game, as it is a 36 MB dump compressed.
