Release: TN SaveState Plugin
Recently The Z talked about a savestate plugin from Total-Noob coming soon. It has arrived people! I got it as soon as I found out about it I installed it. The things that I like the most about it are that you don’t have to go back to the XMB to load another game and that you can save an XMB state in case you end up messing it up somehow. You can install using (Open)CMA or by using the Plugins method here. If you use the second method you will have to do a “tn savestate wololo” internet search, click on the release link and scroll down to the download link.
Here is the post by Total-Noob. If you can I would recommend donating to him:

Imagine you’re playing a difficult level where you need so much time to go through, but you always fail at the end against the big boss.
This shouldn’t be annoying anymore, as with this plugin you can save and load states WHENEVER, WHEREVER you want. You can ehm call it…ehm kinda cheating,
but this plugin can also be used for other purposes! In example to make checkpoints in ‘Lego’ games: I totally like them, but it is kinda annoying that
you can only save your data after a LONG play time of a level.
The PSP/PS Vita is intended for short gaming sessions and this is possible! WITH THIS PLUGIN! Now you can fastly switch from game to game, WITH THIS PLUGIN!
It is definitely an ultimate addon to the Custom Emulator Firmware 6.60 TN-V. Also, it is compatible in XMB, PSP GAMES, PS1 GAMES, HOMEBREWS…Instructions
Custom Emulator Firmware 6.60 TN-V has got a built-in plugin installer. This makes plugin installation as easily as never before:
* Copy ‘P_SVST.ZIP’ to the savedata folder where you usually put your ISOs, homebrews or plugins to. Transfer the savedata to the PS Vita using CMA.
* Boot up the exploit and keep the R trigger pressing while the screen turns from white to green. Now you should be in the recovery menu.
* Select ‘Plugins ->’, then ‘Plugins installer ->’ and install the archive ‘P_SVST.ZIP’.SaveStates
IMPORTANT! The author will not be responsible of any kind of data loss.
To bring up the ‘TN SaveState Plugin’ menu, hold the START button for one second. You can choose your savestate by using the dialog pad:
* UP/DOWN: Move through slots, up to 10 slots.
* LEFT/RIGHT: Move through different games.
To save/load a state press R respectively L. Then it is important that you go to the livearea (by pressing the blue PlayStation button) and return back
to complete the procedure. This can take some seconds, as the savestate is a 31MB RAM dump compressed (expected compressed size: 3-20MB).
For FW’s below 2.10, the procedure takes some more seconds. After the completion, the (new) game will be resumed automatically.
The savestates are located at /PSP/SAVESTATE/.Issues
If there are games which have problems or are not compatible with this plugin, please report them. Those bugs are already known and couldn’t be fixed yet:
* Savestates of XMB are not stable at the moment, so don’t use them. However loading states from XMB should work fine.
* Some savestates have got sound issues when they are loaded from XMB or from an other game, so better launch the game first and then load its savestate.

I think Dark_Alex doesn’t give a ***, to be brutally honest.
Is this savestate plugin work even in a firmware superior to the of. FW. 2.16? I mean… because of the less RAM memory (compared with the 64 megas of the ePSP in the fw. 2.16)
Many thanks to TN for this. Btw, does this plugin also work for cfw 6.60 pro on psp ?
Sorry for repost but I just read the post of Abdou005… it looks that work 😛
COOL! Now we need Inferno ISO driver! Final Fantasy Type-0 is almost translated 😉
cool man. Tried that on Patapon and works like charm!
Awesome savestate plugin, Total_Noob!!! Can’t wait to try it! 😀
I realized if you have cwcheat plugins it doesnt work….
well both plugin together
Plz email me rh26904@gmail.com for the game
So, I tried to install this using the built-in plugin installer, but when I go to plugin->
there’s nothing there. Just the “back” option. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Update TN: XMB -> Settings -> Update System -> Network Update
Also make sure that the P_XXX.ZIP file is in your game’s savedata folder.
Thanks for the reply.
I tried that. I have TN-V4, and it claimed it saw a newer version, but when it tried to update, it said “you already have 6.60, so there is no need to update.”
That’s weird. It should say that there is a newer version called 7.3 as that is the current TN version. The plugin manager is a feature that was introduced on TN-V5 that is why you don’t have it. I would report on the TN-V4 bug list on /talk (find it by googling “tnv4 bug list wololo).
i have the same problem no built in plugin intaller just the back button
Same here.
Only back button showing up.
Congratulations, you just broke this website’s comment system!
Nevermind, I got it to work. I had to restore to my back up and then did an update in the xmb. The plugin installer then showed up.
what about a homebrew store plugin or a plugin manager xmb plus package installer plus homebrew store brewology on psp 🙂
break this ? … its the breakest !
nevermind again, i noticed after intalling just one plugin, the plugin intaller option goes away ***
Sorry for so many comments but i found a way to intall plugins my way. First i update the xmb, download the plugin i want, install it with plugin intaller. i then do another update, then i download another plugin of my choice. i go to the plugin installer and install another plugin. That seems to work for me. hope i helped.
why was my comment removed
This plugin rocks! It’s worked with all 21 of my games so far. One thing I did notice though is a weird high frequency ringing noise when I load some states. It lasts a couple of seconds then goes away, other than that great work!
It freezes my game sometimes. There are still some bugs.
ok the savestate plugin is great,there is only one problem its not working on my black vita on 1.81,and I know everything is setup good.Since I have it running on my red vita 2.61 and on my white vita 3.01.Its not a big deal,just like to know if it can run on 1.81,and what the heck am I
doing wrong on that one vita.
i changed a toolbar on my pc and now i cant login
im mummy28
