How to dump the memory of a process to a file and then restore the process into memory?

3

1

I have a game where saving is impossible most of the time, there are big gaps between saves and many progress is lost if the game crashes or I die.

I want to know if it's possible to dump the RAM of a process onto the disk and then restore it when needed? and if yes, how do I do that?

Just like suspending a VM-Ware virtual machine... but not a virtual machine yet a process in windows.

Sorry, there is no way to do that. See my answer here: http://superuser.com/questions/904441/possible-to-save-process-as-dump-file-to-disk-and-then-reload-the-process-later/978777#978777

@Gizmo - Unless the software supports this feature its not possible to do this. An application's memory space is protected. – Ramhound – 2013-08-13T16:46:06.690
