Need help with save states

[best4ever20]

How do I use SAV files as save staes in vba ive tried the import battery thing but it just restarts the gme what do I do?

[Leerz]

battery and save states are different
battery is the 'save' from the rom itself.
eeprom, sram, flash

save states are memory dumps, once loaded it will load 'all' data on memory from where you saved it, 'bringing you back to that point of the game' where you made the save'or made the dump.

notes :
if you were using a gba bios when you made the save, YOU must use a GBA BIOS when you load it, otherwise it will not load and return an error

sav file should usually have the same name as the rom image [if it's different then you'll have to load it manually]

battery=*.sav/saN [N=1]
savestate=*.sgm

cheers!
