I would really be great if a Save State feature was implemented into DOSBox.
ALT F5 and ALT F9 should be Save/Load game state

Reasons savestates would be beneficial:
1) Accidental keypress mistakes in puzzle games such as Chip's Challenge
2) Resume game where you left off without having to boot into it and type codes
3) Redo conversations with NPC's in order to listen to various outcomes for entertainment (Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest, Quest for Glory, etc)

This is already supported via a patch. Grab one of yhkwong's DAUM builds which include it.

1) fix your keyboard
2) PC games often had very short passwords if any passwords at all (i.e. Another World), and if they are long passwords they're probably a bad port anyway. (i.e. NOT Another World)
3) What? Just savescum normally in the game.

The only application I see save states working well with are crappy booter games.
