What is a .FRZ file?

A .FRZ file is a special type of file that acts like a saved game for video games played on an emulator called Snes9x, which lets you play games from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) on your computer or other devices. Think of it like pausing your game and being able to start right back where you left off, even if you close the game or turn off your device. This file captures everything exactly as it was at that moment in the game, so you can return to it anytime.

The term "locked FormFlow file" might be confusing here, as it doesn't relate to the primary use of .FRZ files in the context of video game emulation. Instead, focus on the fact that these files are essentially a way to save your game progress in a very specific snapshot form. You can "freeze" your game, which means saving it into a .FRZ file, and then "defrost" it later, which means opening the file to return to that exact moment in your game.

To use these .FRZ files, you need the right program. Snes9x is the main emulator that creates and opens these files. However, there are other emulators like Nestopia that can also work with .FRZ files, especially on different platforms like Android. For Android users, there's a specific version of Snes9x called Snes9x EX+ that supports these files, allowing you to play your saved SNES games on your phone or tablet.

In summary, if you have a .FRZ file, you can open it using Snes9x or compatible emulators like Nestopia and Snes9x EX+ on Android devices. This lets you jump back into your SNES game exactly where you left off, making it a convenient way to save and resume your gaming adventures.
