Snesoid and srm saves, not using savestates to load/save games. Gameboid uses .sav

Snesoid seems to solely rely on save state files and not on actual battery saves used on the original cartridges (.sav) files. These are also smaller in file size and using these instead of savestates makes it feel more like playing an SNES (not being able to use savestates) but relying on the games own way of saving your progress. These .srm battery saves are easy to find so it's much easier to load up my Super Mario Kart with special courses unlocked :)

Gameboid for GBA games uses the actual battery pack saves, .sav files...

So why isn't snesoid able to do this or am I doing something wrong? I use the Motorola Droid.
