Savestates originally only worked with games without a special chip, because the
firmware loads a different FPGA core for those and it had no in-game hook to run
custom code from. The coprocessor cores now carry that machinery, so savestates
also work on:
fpga_dspfpga_sa1fpga_gsufpga_cx4fpga_obc1fpga_sdd1On the Mk.II the GSU and CX4 cores had no room left on the FPGA for both the
savestate machinery and the six hardware ROM-cheat comparators, so on those two
cores (Mk.II only) ROM cheats are applied by patching the loaded ROM image
instead. They work as before with one difference: the in-game cheat toggle no
longer switches ROM codes on and off, those follow the setting as it was when the
game was loaded. WRAM cheats are unaffected, and the Mk.III is unchanged.
