Can i save anytime?

Can I save the game anytime without save points? because dodging 200 lightning bolts gonna take my day

In FFX? Yes, if you use UnX, but it doesn't work the way you'd really want.

Ctrl + Shift + Q will quicksave, this is true. But it doesn't save your position in the world. It saves your stats and game progress, but puts you back at the last save sphere you used. It's such a wonky feature I don't even bother advertising its existence :)

Sorry, but save states still aren't a thing in PC games.

Alright then thanks, save state gonna be awsome though

unless you play on a virtual machine that supports save states/snapshots.
But I think it takes a while to load and save them

It shouldn't if they're proper save states :) Dump the full contents of RAM, and processor state into a file and you're done.

There's a really handy property with most console hardware, since there's no OS mucking around with memory everything's contiguous. Unallocated memory can be zero'd out with run-length encoding.

If you're using a virtual machine for something like DOS, PC game savestates can be simple too. Otherwise, forget about it :P

UnX effectively supports save states, but you have to soft reset in order to load your quicksave. It's a clunky feature if ever there were one, more of a curiosity than a practical thing.
