How to Save Your GBA Game Progress in Browser
Step-by-step guide to using save states in browser-based GBA emulators. Never lose progress again.
One of the best features of browser-based GBA emulators is save states. Unlike the original hardware where you needed a battery-backed cartridge, browser emulators let you save your exact position at any moment.
What Are Save States?
A save state is a snapshot of the emulator's exact memory state. It saves everything — your position, health, inventory, and even the frame of animation. This is different from in-game saves, which only work at save points.

- Click Load — you'll be back exactly where you left off

EggerMath gives you 10 save slots per game, just like PPSSPP. This means you can:

- Try different choices without losing progress
- Share saves with friends
