Is the current timer value readable by the processor? If it is, then this is OK, except that I think that the RAM dump should be a RAM dump and the registers should be dumped separately.

I remember that TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format. Maybe it would be worth having a look. Also, you could have some conversation and cooperation with the VICE development team. The same basic format could be used for storing the state of all emulators, and also the states of attached devices (e.g. drive states).
