i was just wondering if it is possible with either of the emulators, to save game states for games with no save feature, like on n64 emulators etc..

Well, not to my knowledge.

In any case: you shouldn't use that

It'll only diminish the pure joy of playing Amiga games.

Because, I don't know whether you are aware of this, but every game made was first submitted to Commodore themselves. Then, in close collaboration with the developers, Commodore gave the game to some 200 people who were locked up in a large building, filled with delicious food, gorgeous naked women, tons of cigarettes and coffee, a large library, all the latest movies, and so on.

Then, they started tweaking the save points. They closely watched the people play, and when they saw someone even just ogling one of the women, or trying to get up and get some food, they changed the savepoints strategy. The game was only released when none of the 200 guinea pigs let their eyes wander off-screen.

Surely, you wouldn't want to put this excentric but highly effective strategy to shame, now would you?
