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.

ok i found out what it is we need to do to use save files from other emulators or dexdrive saves on our evo's.
1st. there are many dexdrive saves located at http://www.gamefaqs.com. goto the ps1 list, select your game and then goto the tab "saves". dexdrive saves are full dumps of ps1 memory cards. these files are in .gme format and we need to convert them over to .mcr format.
then download this http://www.aldostools.org/memoryconverter.zip. it is a memory card file converter. it will not run in windows 7 64 for me. i ran it in a xp virtual machine that i have built and it worked just fine. other os's i have no clue about. when you run it, it asks you for the memeory card file. use the .gme file and then hit convert. it defaults to saving it as a bleem save game but if u click the drop down menu and select the top .mcr file, epsxe i think, and then click finished.
now connect your phone to the pc and toggel usb. go the the .psx4droid directory and copy your files here. i had allready made a save game and just renamed the new one to the one i allready had.
Dude you're the man! Thanks, this is exactly the information I was looking for. The program I used was different from yours: http://moberg-dybdal.dk/psxge/
It works on windows 7, though I can't make it save more than 1 save per memory card, so I use card 2 for the dexdrive save. Also, it saves it as a different format, I think ".mcd" but I just renamed the file "mem0002.mcr" or whatever that stock name was, and it works just fine.
Thanks again bro! The psx4droid's usefulness has definitely gone up big time!
PS save states to PSX4droid save states
This is great to use with Memory cards but I was trying to find a work around for some games which freeze at the start screen.
I was hoping to take the .psv save state I can get from a pre loaded Metal Gear Solid and then convert it to the same type of save state in psx4droid and do a quick load and see if I can skip the title screen thus enabling me to play the game from where the save state left off.
The load option freezes in MGS as well so my memory card save from my PC psx emulator does not do me any good.
Oddly enough the disc 2 seems to work fine at the menu to start and load a new game...problem being it asks you to insert disc 2 and then you are screwed. I am going to try and convert a disc 2 save of MGS and see if I can load disc 2 on my Nexus one.
I have the same problem with Parasite Eve 2 freezes as soon as it boots.
this thread is the best thing that i have ever found. i was searching how to do this all over the internet, and it was right here all along. thanks fellas!
edit: does anyone know how to change the block number of the saved games?
SO i just got Gensoid, and i have been looking to find the answer to this question.
Is it possible to use save states from my Sega PC emulator on the gensoid?
and if so, where are the save states located on the phone?
Because i would like to use the game genie on the my PC to mod a save and them use it on my phone.
More then likely the save states are in the same directory as the game roms and your plan may be possible as long as the file extensions are the same

I guess I'll try the save state from my PC tonight. Thank you.
Morning!
I am a casual GBA player, and I have played some games on my laptop on VBA. I decided it was time I passed them to my Android device and tried them on Gameboid. To do such, I istalled the app, configured the BIOS, and copied both the .gba and the .sav file.
Gameboid loads the ROM and savefile just fine. However, when I try to save (manually; not via savestate), it doesn't work. The savefile is not overwriten, and if I reset gameboid I will be at the same point I was when I passed the files from my laptop to my phone.
I know I could work around this with savestates, but there are some things I'd really prefer the in-game save states to do.
Thanks for the help,

Yes, I have the same problem. I have a 128kb save file for a game. Gameboid reads the file perfectly; however, when I attempt to save my game manually (in-game save), the game always fails to save. All the save files that I create using Gameboid are 32kb, unlike all my previously created files which are all 128kb. I have tried changing the GBA save type setting but to no avail. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!
I have some ideas, look that: I have a emulator on my droid. Wich use .sav 128kb my emulator on my pc use .sav 64kb. The question here my dearly developers is... We need emulators wich use the same .sav, maybe must be a emulator that use .sav 128kb if somebody find any type of solution pleas help me or bether, help us sorry about my english i learnd listening music in my home (@rael2000ix) from Brasil ,,, i just waiting for one developer that can make it thanks i m d go.
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.
Hi Everyone!
I'm trying to get N64oid and Pj64 to automatically sync and share save files (similarly to "cross-save" for Playstation consoles).
Both emulators have their save directories synced through dropbox and dropsync. The problem is that PJ64 names it's save files using the games "ROM name" and N64oid seems to use the "Good Name" to name it's save files. Is there any way to get both emulators to use one save file? I know the simple solution is to just rename the .eep files but something automatic would be awesome.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
