Save states are possible on actual consoles now?

Okay, this is pretty cool. You get save states in a Mario 64 game running on a real system.

Now if only they could add rewinds, we'd have all the features of an emulator in real video games!

Or you could simply run an emulator from a cartridge-based container like I did on the GBA *innocent whistle*

True. But does that let you run games from the same system you're playing on?

30 of them in the one cartridge i had, yep! Well, it held 30 GBA or a LOT of NES and older games. Mind you this was when the GBA was the latest handheld - not years later like most of the things online.

Wii U VC games have 1 save state.

Wii U VC games have 1 save state.

That's very true. And the 3DS ones have one too via the restore feature.

Those features are very nice when you're playing a difficult game, aren't they?

Yeah, I save scummed Aria of Sorrow to death.

Wasn't this done on the PSP already?

If you have a modded PSP. It runs every console's games from PS2 downward to Atari and had a built in cheat system similar to gameshark. Otherwise, not built-in, no. Not sure if someone else added a feature, however.
