[Q] how save game data? - General Questions and Answers

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.

Backup Saved Games

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).

Change save location for game emulators?

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.

Problems with gameboid?

Hey everyone. I was playing some games on VBA (gameboy advance emulator) on my PC. About halfway through the game I saved the game (.sav file) and transferred it to my Xperia Play so I could continue on gameboid.
The import worked great and I was able to play while traveling. Problem is now I want to switch back to the PC and gameboid wont save my game (battery save) - it will only save using a save state.
I cant find any way to load the save state in any emulators on the PC. I read on a couple places that you couldnt battery save using the lite version of gameboid. So I checked to see if I downloaded the wrong one. Looks like I didnt - Gameboid 2.4.7. I obtained it via a QR code from the developer's site since it isnt on the marketplace anymore.
Any ideas here?
Fix
I had a similar issue using an emulator as well. It happens when you try to use a save from a different device. I found out that you need to fix the permissions if you do this. Basically it works like this:
- [Device One] You install the emulator, load a rom, and save your data.
- Copy the .sav to [Device Two] load a rom, then save OVER that .sav
- Copy the .sav BACK to [Device One] load rom, load save (works fine) but overwriting doesn't work.
when this happens you need to set the permissions of the .sav, and of the folders that contain it and it will work fine again.
Hope this helps.

Game saves

Hi,
Is it possible to backup all our game saves to our gmail account ? (like apps are backuped then downloaded again after a restore or something)
Could it also be automatic ?
Thanks in advance !!
That depends on your games. There is not one place on your device that contains any game saves of every game installed.
Some games store the game progress online on their own server.
Game files might be stored in your user directory or on external sd card.
Unfortunately you have to find out for every game where it stores the data. Then you can set up tools and rules to store these files online.
