### 9.1 Snapshot usage

A snapshot is one file containining the complete emulator state. A snapshot file can be generated by selecting the “Save snapshot” command at any time. This will pop up a requester from which you can specify whether the snapshot should also contain the disk and ROM status.

A snapshot file can be used to restore the emulator state by selecting the `load snapshot` menu entry at any time. Unfortunately attached ROM images/cartridges are only supported in the VIC20, the PET and the CBM-II emulators at this time.

The memory configuration of the emulator is saved in the snapshot file as well. This configuration is restored when the snapshot is loaded.

A quick snapshot can now be made by pressing the `M-F11` key and reloaded by pressing the `M-F10` key.
