I'm about to install NRG's latest Rafael ROM, and was wondering if anyone knew the usual place to find saved games, particularly games made by EA. I can't locate my saves in the registry, main memory, or the storage card, and I really don't want to lose my career progress. Where do you usually look for saves? Does EA usually put saves in a particular place?
Thanks!
Most games store the user data in .dat files, or something similar. In Madden 2006, there is a DATA folder in the main program file with everything in it. Just play the game a bit, close it, and look for recently modified files. They are probably in the program folder, but could also be in application data, my documents, or windows (in the main folder or more likely a sub-folder).

Hi guys, hopefully a stupid noob question that I can't seem to figure out.
I'm a bit of an organizational freak (as I'm sure many of you are), and like having sub-folders within main folders.
For example, I have some e-books on my Fuze and like having sub-folders with the author name.
So, folder structure looks like
\Storage_Card\ebooks\Edgar_Allen_Poe\...
When I go to open an ebook in MobiPocket, I cannot see that sub-folder (only the main path to ebooks).
The same issue plagues me with other programs, such as PocketNester...I'm assuming it has something to do with the Windows Mobile method of scanning directories in the file open dialog.
Anybody else have this problem?
I have noticed this in other apps, but never used mobipocket, so I think it's the behavior of the WinMo file manager as well. Maybe you need to put your directories on the root of the storage card. Have you tried shortcuts? Doubt it will work and it would probably drive you nuts that your shortcuts arent neatly organized in subfolders...
I don't think you can use sub-folders with mobipocket (or ereader). If you want things organized, then I would do something like put #'s or letters at the start of each author's books to keep them organized together (1-xxx, 1-yyy for the 1st author, 2-aaa, 2-bbb for the second, where the xxx's are the book names).
I find the file explorer in some apps pretty annoying, too. Like in pocket rar, you can create an archive for things like cab files. If you want to add to the archive, then it has to be on the storage card and in the root of any of the main folders on the storage card. That is annoying as crap. There are other situations where you can save a file in either main memory or storage memory, and you'll only have access to root folders, or sometimes in the main memory only to the folders in \my documents. It's like the person who designed this crap was auditioning for a job with apple to work on iphone development. I wish I knew a work-around (other than cutting-and-pasting after saving things), but I don't.
hi all, i want to know if there is a way to save game data of my gameloft game before i erase all on my nexus s UNROOTED ? i don't want to install back my lovely gt racing game and start over all my career ! (data of gameloft game : gt racing,splinter cell,BIA2,etc.) thanks!
MyBackup can backup apps and their data (choose the apk+data option), but I can't remember if that feature requires root or not. It's worked for all my game's save data before, though.
save game data
The backup apps dont save your game data. to save your game data first,you gotta be rooted. then you gotta go to data/data in the root and search for the games folder in there, once you find it copy it out. then to restore your data just push the folder back to data/data. make sure not to overwrite the existing folder, delete it before you paste. otherwise it will be coppied into the existing folder and will not work. when copying paradise island i lost some functionality (network access). i fixed this buy only moving the save file(s) and not the entire folder. im sure with different games you might run into different problems, but trial and error worked best for me. also dont forget to fix permissions.
don't know whether it's general in gameloft apps, but my dungeon hunter savegames are stored in the root dir of the game on the sd card (under gameloft/games) so they can be easily backupped manually and without root.
I'm trying to figure out a way to save my roms into a dropbox folder so I can easily access them from my computer to play with a 360 controller on my tv. I guess the first question is: would saves states from different emulators work together.
I think tasker would be the best way, and I tried setting something up, but couldn't figure out a good way to really automate it. There isn't an option in the emulators to change the save game location.
By default all of the saves (using save states - I don't use in game saves) go in sdcard/roms/nes or snes or genesis with the name of the file as *game title*.ss1 .ss2 .ss3 (different slots).
I think the best way would be to set up the following in tasker. On nesoid launch/snesoid launch/genesis launch, copy .ssx files from dropbox/nes-genesis-snes to their respective folders on the sdcard. Then, on closing an emulator on the phone, copying from the sdcard to dropbox.
If somebody could help me with this, I would really appreciate it.
Just bought an HTC Radar and I love it! So much faster and smoother than my previous android. However, there are a few things which I don't know how to do.
-How do I move files from the root directory of skydrive into a folder? I can move files from within a folder to another folder; I can move an entire folder to another folder, but I can't move files from the root directory. I can't figure out how to do this even when online with my computer.
-Under x-box live, it opens up to "Collection" whereupon it displays three games, Angry Birds Fruit Ninja and Doodle God. Is this somehow different from "spotlight?" I don't own any of those games.
-Is there a native ability to rotate images taken with the camera or do I have to install an app?
Minor questions I suppose. This phone is great.
Good question. I was dissappointed the skydrive app could not move them. Probably the best thing right now is to log onto skydrive via a pc and move them.
The games i think are just so you can try them out. They are the one's i think that are listed as top xbox live. i rely more on the marketplace then from within the games hub.
for the 3rd, i don't think i've ever taken a picture upside down till about 3 days ago and it was a video lol. was outside with my dog in the snow and didn't realize i had flipped the phone when i was picking up snowballs. I think you would need an app for it. Look at thumba photo editor. It will integrate under "apps" when you hit the ... by the picture it can resize, rotate, crop, flip and more + adjust and apply about 25 filters. Well worth the price.
Logging onto Skydrive via PC lets me move some files but not all of them. Strange. I just looked at two word files...I could move one of them from the root directory but not the other. There are three OneNote book files there that I can't move either.
Thanks for the tip about the photo editor; I'll have to try it later.
I was flicking through Root Browser on my SD Card today and I noticed some things that I have no idea what they are. In the past, I deleted them and it messed with my gallery or with other kinds of stuff.
The specific names of the folders are as follows:
burstlyImageCache
LazyList
LOST.DIR
Mikulu
myrecord
.wiyun
.udstate
.config_c38
What are these? what happens if I delete them? I'm not overly concerned, I'm just curious.

generally if you do not know what something is, don't delete it. I think the image cache thing has to do with the camera, and anything with a dot in front of it is a system file, so leave those alone.
Delete it if its unuseful!

I don't agree!!!
Apps often let unused files in various folders, saturating the memory of the SD Card.
If u don't know what its for, ask (or ask google )
For exemple, wiyun is a chinese game editor. Hence .wiyun is its trash directory. If you don't have any games left from this editor, you can safely delete the folder.
Mikulu folder is probably from Mikulu music player ...
etc.
Directories myrecord & myalbum
Directories myrecord & myalbum are created by the
"Easy Downloader" app and by the "Pro" variant also.
Creating empty files with equal names prevents directory
creation. But uninstalling is the only way to avoid this completely.
Best regards
P.S. I assume that other "Easy ..." apps by the 2Easy Team
developer will create them because of the in app promotion
content.
