Importing A PCSX2 Save State

Save states are helpful because they fill memory with real data from the game, making it easier to understand what that data is for.

While in the code browser:

• Window -> Script Manager
• Select the ghidra-emotionengine folder in the left pane
• Select PCSX2SaveStateImporter.java
• Right click and select Run Script
• A model will appear asking you to select a file, select your save state.
