What is a .ZS2 file?
The file extension .ZS2 refers to a "ZSNES Slot 2 Saved State File." This type of file is used with ZSNES, which is a program that allows you to play games from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) on your computer. The .ZS2 file contains a snapshot of a player's progress in a game. This means it saves exactly where you are in the game, what items you have, and other game details at the moment you save.
This file is particularly useful because it lets you save your game progress at any point, not just at specific times the game itself allows you to save. This is different from the usual in-game save mechanism, which often only allows you to save your progress at certain points or milestones in the game.
To use a .ZS2 file, you need to have the ZSNES emulator installed on your computer. ZSNES supports multiple save states, which means you can have many different saved game files, each one representing a different point in your game. These are labeled with different extensions like .ZS0, .ZS1, .ZS2, and so on, up to .ZS99.
To open a .ZS2 file, simply run the ZSNES program, load the game you were playing, and then load the .ZS2 file to continue playing from where the save state was created. This feature is very handy for trying different strategies in a game or for returning to a specific point without having to play through to that point again.
