Homebrew developer Dark_AleX has released a new custom firmware plugin that allows users to save/load savestates of their current progress on PSP titles. Dubbed PSPStates, the plugin is still in the experimental stage and currently is only compatible with Slim units, due to the increased memory usage.

It is advised to disable any other plugins while using PSPStates, as well as backup all data on your memory stick in case of data loss. Additionally, the plugin is written specifically for 4.01 M33. Savestates created likely will not be interoperable with future custom firmware releases.

As a final note, it is highly stressed that you do not use the plugin with a UMD inserted. Use of the ISO driver March33, which can be selected in the XMB by pressing Select, is recommended. Make sure to read the included readme file for detailed installations instructions.
