It is greatly useful for some kind of games, but I cannot find this fucntion in 0.63 version. Why not add such function in the new version? I think it is a good idea that the user can save the system state and recover the system later.

It is absolutely useful, but also very difficult to implement if such a feature hasn't been incorporated in the overall design from the start. It requires a save and load of state of every emulated component: not an easy task.
