How to move Gameloft's games into Storage card ?

and how to make them work again under games

Pocket Mechanic will move them from device to storage card whilst still leaving the game installed.

Hi
Noob question: anymore details on how we can go about doing this by using pocket mechanic?
thanks in advance.

same question

I had this problem and just fixed it, didn't even use pocket mechanic
I have resco file explorer, all I simply did was move the games in the Gameloft folder on my device into Storage Card/Program Files/Gameloft
I then made copies of the shortcuts to the games and placed them in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games
And voila, it worked, and no reappearing of the huge gameloft files in My Device

Did it without resco and didn't work

This is right !
but t\and I have been doing so for ages BUT it just doesnt work for all ( like midnight pool for instance )

There are a lot of discussions about this ongoing out in the web. It does not work because of ONE file per game that cannot be run from SD.

Interesting, the games that I moved and worked included midnight pool 2.. (the games I moved were midnight pool 2, avatar and texas hold em poker)
Weird how it only works for some...
Maybe its differences in ROMs?
I am currently using the May 9th Energy ROM if that helps..

Well first of all you have to have resco
Then open it up, and simply just navigate to required folders and you are able to do all the cut and pasting by touch =]

did it

Nothing happens and theres no error , and the shortcuts right

Some gameloft games can be installed / moved to storage card. Just recreate the shortcut using tool like total commander - cecmd
Asphalt 4
Chessmaster
Ferarri GT
Prince of Persia
Spiderman
Sonic
Bubble Bash 2
The rest require patching the main exe file &
removing reference to \Program Files\ &
hardcoding the \storage card\gameloft\gamepath

convert it to slot1.mcd i believe
make a back up of you saved to check the file name

where does fpse store the mcd files? (memory card files)
I cant seem to find them anywhere, any help would be much appreciated because then I could transfer my saves to psxperia.

there stored in /data/data/. just do a backup in the main menu, you will find copies of both memory cards in the backup folder on your SD Card.

I didnt have a data folder inside the data folder, however when I did the backup I was able to find the memory cards by going to /fpsebackup/memcards/
Thanks AndroHero!

anyone try it out yet?
seriously i thought it was gonna be a simple task of downloading a ff7 game save and converting it to 0.raw but for some strange reason i would either get a "mem crd must be formatted or a file is corrupt " error
so after about 2 hrs and a six pack of budlight later finally got it more of a trial and error what took the longest
when i get home later i will try and make a game save for fpse
can anyone confirm the fpse extension name? so i can upload

I've done this many times with Final Fantasy VIII.....I still have the save file if anyone is interested.

post it up buddy
and is it already converted for psxperia or fpse?

It is for fpse. I can do cheats for any psx games. After I clock FF8, I'm going to play FF7 and will add cheats onto the save file.
PLEASE NOTE: This will only work with the US version of the game....

hook me up with a save game for gran turismo 2 for either psxperia or fpse

Wow seems like you guys are onto what I've been working on. But I'm trying to do it reverse, fpse to psxperia. I keep reading about how fpse can do raw format, but not really sure how to convert slot1.mcd to 0.raw format. If you guys know how to do that please let me know. Also i'm testing to see if this allows me to import saved games to sequels, like Suikoden save data to Suikoden 2. Another game i'd like to try this with is .hack lol. There's a decent amount of old ps games that carry over data.
So yeah please let me know how you guys did this.

Lol guess I found out my own answer. I can confirm that slot1 = 0.raw, and slot2 = 1.raw. The only tricky part to this is before renaming the file to 0.raw or 1.raw, make sure to check that the save game you want is actually on the slot1.mcd. I had to redo it several times due to the file not being on there. Psxmemtool probably works the best out of all the different ones I tried.
So I was able to run Suikoden 2, and import save data from suikoden 1. Its kinda annoying, but each games 1.raw or 0.raw file, is unique. Meaning, if you want to import a certain save, it has to be on the 1.raw or 0.raw of the specific game. Reason I find this annoying, is if you have a game and its sequal. You completed the first, want to import to the 2nd. In order to do that, you have to go through the steps I listed above. Also there may be a limit to how many slots the game actually sees on the memory card inside of the game. Hopefully we'll see other improvements to the native emulator someday...

Save state to fpse

hey guys, i know i have done this before. But i find myself in the same situation. The game is final fanasy 7; and the i am just trying to load my 25hour saved data from psx4droid to fpse. Like i said i know i have done it before but after hours of messing around i have come up with nothing. Now...on psx4droid my saves werent on the memory card, i would save it internal to my sd using the load/save function in psx4droid. the same function is in fpse. So I have my saved file its 1,980kb s i know its a save file. The file is labeled as Final Fantasy VII Disc 2.ss0 theres is another file labeled with the same name but that is just an image file showing where i left off. So, how do i use that save file up there? the .ss0 just means it was from savestate 0 on psx4droid im sure. So where do i insert that file into fpse so that i can just load it up?

I dont know about psx4droid, but for fpse my save state file is named as SLUS006640.SAV. To load the file I go to fpse settings > savestates path and select the folder where the SLUS006640.SAV is located. I am not sure if you have to change the psx4droid file to .sav before it works tho never used it b4.

I'm sure I didn't save it to that before. But thanks for the reply it did help. Waiting for more input.

I have rooted my samsung. I use astro and search my whole phone and sdcard for fpse savestate. I dont find anything! I have final fantasy 9 and savestates in the emulator. Hmm.
What am i doing wrong?
Cant find nothing.
Im gonna use some fix/hack for getting cheats for that game in fpse. Have not found a way to cheat in that emulator yet. :/ FF9.
Other then that. Great emulator!
edit: The day after. DONE.
I just had to choose a savestate path. Wierd. Now i can find the .SAV. Thanks!

Gameboid File converting

Hi all, as you may see by my info, I am a new forumer. I have been stumped on this question the last few days though. How would I trade Pokemon from the Gameboid emulator. So I come across tutorials teaching one how to trade, but it never seems to work for me. I would like to know how to at least convert my .sav file to work for vba link or TGB Dual. Thanks for any answers.

I would also like to know how to do that, has anyone been fortunate to convert a gameboid file into a format where the file can be played on the PC?

Please answer.

Hi guys!
Converting the Gameboid file to work on the VBA emulator is quite (very) simple.
@Firefrazed : I'm not sure about the TGB Dual emu, but I'm guessing it's similar to VBA in terms of where the sav files are placed.
1. Save the Pokemon Game in-game, as in Select>Save.
2. Go to My Files in your phone (phone SD Card directory, I'm assuming its there) and search in the Gameboid folder for the XXXXX.sav file (with the XXXXX being the name of your game.
3. Use bluetooth or some SD card reader to copy and transfer this file to your PC.
4. In your PC, navigate to "Battery Saves" (for VBA).
5. Replace the current XXXXX.sav file with the one you obtained from your phone, or if you haven't save a game on the VBA yet, ignore this step and just paste your phone's XXXXX.sav in the "Battery Saves" folder.
As for the VBA-Link issue, have you checked this out yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnZusVRiDfk
And you're done! Hope this helped!
Cheers!

Cheers, zephyrsurreal.
I never actually thought about using Battery saves.

hi there! i have a similar problem, so i thougt i post it here:
i have been using the gameboid emulator to play pokemon (ahh childhood memories ). but the problem is: i put the rom into a dropbox folder, so everytime i navigated to the dropbbox folder, clicked on the rom (its a .zip file) and chose open with gameboid. i save the game via gameboid.
now i want to trade pokemon, so i needed the save game to transfer it on my pc. but the problem: there is no save game in the dropbox folder and there is also no folder on the sd card that would have the save game in it.
i tried saving the game in game, this generated a .sav file in the folder on my sd card (where the gameboid bios file is) but when i use this save game its not working on the pc emulator (using VBA).
i think this has something to do with playing out of dropbox... any help would be greatly appeciated...
ps: i also tried to import the .sav file via battery save, but i did not work, it loaded correctly but it started the game, as there was no savegame at all (right from the beginning)

Hi there Sir Schwanzelot!!!
I just read and i thik you can resolve the problem with this:
type-Flash (128KB) then on VBA i go to Options-Emulator-Save type-Flash 128 KB then go to File-Import-and click on the file your phone made with your saved game and it will usually say something like the internal battery is dry but should still load your game.
I had the same problem, and with that...i resolve it .
I hope it works to you...

So I'm playing Leaf Green and Fire Red. I managed to trade my Ivysaur from Leaf Green to my Fire Red save. How do I get that save to work on my phone because VBA saves it as a different file I do believe so Gameboid doesn't find it.

Thanks guys, these have been really helpful. However, I still not have gotten this to work. I set Gameboid to save at Flash 128K and set VBA to do the same. I take the .sav file from the sd card on my phone and copy it over to my PC (I don't see a battery saves file anywhere so I put it in the same folder the .GBA file is in). I go to import it as a battery file and it says "Importing a snapshot file will erase any saved games and reset the emulator. Are you sure you want to continue?" I hit yes and it loads the game up from the start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a problem too. I've never had this problem before, but my Gameboid battery save file is being stubborn and staying at 32K. I do the usual thing of saving in the game while the emulator settings are at Flash 128K, but the battery save file is at 32K which doesn't allow me to use it on VBA at all. I've tried using other save types on Gameboid such as SRAM and Automatic and all the other save type options it gives, but the battery save file is always stuck at 32K. Even still, I hoped and tried every single type of save file option on Gameboid with VBA. I tried importing the battery save on VBA with every single save type option that it gives. There was no way for me to open the 32K battery save file. So can someone help me figure out how to make a battery save that's 64K or 128K?? It would be greatly appreciated.
The game I'm trying to save at 64K or 128K is Megaman Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar. I don't use cheats or anything. I'm simply playing the game and hoping that there's a way to make it save in the game like any other normal game I've played. At least the ones that allowed me to make battery saves that is..

And update to anyone else who comes along. I solved my issues of GameBoid Advance to VBA by using VBA 1.72 instead of 1.8. I haven't gotten to actually trading anything yet. But now at least my save file from GBA (on my android phone) loads on VBA (on my PC).
Unless I post more, assume the trading worked as well.

Editing game save files

Afternoon guys,
I am trying to find the game save files on my tablet but am having no luck. It's rooted and unlocked. Where would they be and what are they saved under? .dat? .dex?
I am looking to edit them if possible to mess about with the game stats.
Thanks

Might help us if you told us which game it was you were trying to find.
One you know the app, look up the android name, find the /data/data/com.appname (example) folder (as _that already said) and look inside - no guarantees that you can edit the save games though.
Another place might be on the sdcard /android/data and yes again some apps just plonk it in /data on the sdcard
It all depends what you are looking for - which we don't know ....

Use a file explorer like ES File Explorer and do a search for the app

There is no one file it different for every game only real way is to play around with the data folder or see if the developer will tell you. In some games it's a whole folder.

One of the files is all weird characters and letters. Anyway to decipher it?
