I dont get what the savestate does excatly. Sounds useless to me.
Lets say you are in the middle of a game and you can't save. Lumines for example. And you want to go listen to some music or use the web browser. Well you use a savestate to back up the RAM so you can come back later and be exactly where you were, how you were. Its incredibly useful.
