The size of VRAM is 64 KB, and the sprite data is in OAM. Tilemap addresses are in bg?ptr and tile addresses in bg?objptr.
The preview data (64x56 16-bit pixel) is in the last 7168 bytes, or may be missing... |

That's basically correct. The first C13 bytes contain header information appended to the file by ZSNES itself.
What follows is 128 kilobytes of WRAM. $C13-$10C12 contains WRAM bank $7E $10C13-$20C12 contains WRAM bank $7F. If you're looking for (for example) statistical data in an RPG, it'll be somewhere in that range, but it'll change drastically between games as you are probably aware.

Sorry, that's wrong.  The correct one is offset 0C13 (hex) or 3091 (decimal).
I need to check my tools... |

Guh... Why didn't I think about that? |

Start addresses are easy to find. Use AR/GS codes to modify the first address to something easily-recognizable.  |

Thanks, but since that document is next to unreadable to me, can anyone tell me at what address the RAM memory starts? |

db = byte, dw = word, dd = double word.
The following data is part of "tempdat":
KeyOnStA db 0
KeyOnStB db 0
SDD1BankA db 0
SDD1BankB db 0
SDD1BankC db 0
SDD1BankD db 0
vramread2 db 0 ; previous character for vram read
nosprincr db 0
poamaddrs dw 0
ioportval db 0
iohvlatch db 0
ppustatus db 0 |

I've searched a bit, but I can't find it.
Does anyone know the ZSNES savestate file format? |
