GSavestate - A more advanced viewer/editor for Genecyst-type savestates (Gens also makes these). Extremely powerful; has the ability to edit anything in the savestate, and you can look at the sprites and tiles loaded into the VDP at the time that the savestate was made. You can also look at the way the screen was organized at the time, and remove certain planes or sprites. Very useful for debugging.
