I think [[funny notation]] is not a format of a saved game status; it describes the movement of the pieces. Why did you list it here? --[[User:Zzo38|Zzo38]] ([[User talk:Zzo38|talk]]) 17:04, 7 April 2019 (UTC) | I think [[funny notation]] is not a format of a saved game status; it describes the movement of the pieces.

I've been adding emulator save states here as it seems like the closest fit for them. If anyone objects or feels there's a better place to put them, please go ahead and do it. Assuming they stay here, it might be worth creating separate sections for save states and saved games (there's loads more emulator save states still to add).
