Saving application/game state tool

[allen2]

I'm looking for a tool which could save the state of an application or a game in order restart it later at the same point like the hibernate function of windows.

The only option i found for doing this kind of thing is to launch a virtual machine and launch the application in the virtual machine (and use this hibernate function) but it highly complex and resource consumming.

If someone know of a tool like a debugger who would do this job, please point me in this right direction.

Process explorerwill let you suspend a process, but not save it for multiple restarts from the same point.

If the game is not too resource hungry, and particularly tricky, then vm snapshots give you more options .
