Hello, there is a demand on the internet for a process-saving/loading app. The app would save the current state (memory + open files + whatever else) of the given process and would be able to reload the "process state image" on the fly. In layterms, maybe it could be an exe that would run other exe and then it would be able to save/load states of that other exe.

This is ESPECIALLY needed with flash games. Perhaps an app for playing+freezing+load/save state of a flash game would be easier to make, since I think they run in some kind of sandbox. But an app that is able to freeze+save/load whole Windows process would be fine here too, since there are several exe wrappers which can embed the flash game to themselves and easily run it.

Here are some pointers for starting:
Performing a hex dump of another process's memory

Stealing Program's Memory

Do check the demand for this, I've found at least 2-3 similar requests.
