Is it cheating if you use the save function in emulators?

Yes.

Only legit use of save states is saving when you've just saved with the game (if it even has saving)

If you're playing a game that does not have saves, and you're using them as legit save points as to emulate a saving system since today a saving system is required, then no.

>tfw I use saves in emulators for games that have choices

No fucks given

That's savescumming and its the only way to play a game with choices

I only use the savestates on passwords screens.

Only legit nigga here.

depends on the game, if you are playing a long game like festers quest or blaster master, save states are ok if you are using them to eat/bathroom/go to work etc..not to go back caue you died

>>285755714
I used to abuse save states every second when I was a kid but it's really just ruining the game for yourself unless you don't really care about playing the game the way you're supposed to.

I had a friend in highschool who beat mike tyson by savescumming after every punch he landed and acted like it was the greatest accomplishment ever when he finally wo

I save scum through SMT. I have no regrets.

I beat Castlevania 3 on an emulator that had a rewind function, and I'd just rewind a second or two every time I died

But of course.

The only way that doesn't count as cheating is like >>285755894
