I'll try to translate this into Gamer

Imagine you have a videogame emulator with a savestate. You want to find information about the savestate, but everytime you look at the screen, the emulator crashes, so you can only see one frame.

So you clone the savestate a bunch of times, then send the savestate and some TAS inputs over the internet to some other computers running the same emulator.

Now when you crash the first computer on the first frame, the next on the second frame... you will get way more information about the mysterious savestate.
