I did this all the tine with SNES roms in emulators, you could even fast-forward in them.
The patent seems like bullshit, and will be easily challenged by any prior art. At first when I read the title I thought they were going to patent something nifty, like use CPU native VM support to simulate what emulators did and truly save and return to any point possible, but it’s just a concept that has a hefty amount of prior art already substantiated.
