      Hi. I’m new to emulators and everything and I’m looking for a Advance Wars 1 or 2 emulator. I can’t find anything other than a couple websites that download the game and let you play it there. But if I save anything and close out of the emulator I lose everything. Any advice?

      Hi Mr. Sujano, I'm recently getting more into emulators myself. One emulator I found that's pretty phone (android) friendly is John GBAC, like the other John emulators but this one can play both color and advance roms making it more convenient. It organizes folders nicely as well, easy to find a save file. Check it out if you haven't. Cheers.
      P.s I have slight troubles bringing saves over to RetroArch plus. Could be bc I make snapshot saves thru emulator instead of in game saves. A video specifically about that might be great too!

    • @ireaperslegend7426
      @ireaperslegend7426 3 года назад +22

      A reason why I would use someone else’s save was if I beat the game and had everything or something then lost that save somehow, instead of playing through the game again I could just download someone else’s full game and play it that way lol

    • @TheContradictator
      @TheContradictator 2 года назад +7

      There are plenty of games (lots of fighting games) where you start the game off with most of the roster/levels locked. Instead of having to beat the game to play as a character I liked, I could download a save that's been beaten 100% and have full access to everything from the beginning.
      Also, with games with creative suites (Ex:WWE CAW, Graffiti Kingdom characters,etc) saves are pretty much the only way to distribute your creation unless you write down the formula or are physically able to transfer your data from one memory card to someone else's.

  • @fender7802
    @fender7802 28 дней назад

    Thanks for the video. In my case, I wanted to transfer a N64 save file which was created with Project64 (PC) onto the M64Plus FZ (Android). What I had to do was RETAIN THE EXACT FILE NAME that each respective emulator creates. For example, Project64 creates a save file called "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA.sra", but when playing the exact same ROM on M64Plus FZ, it creates a save file called "Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time (U) (V1.2) [!].sra". Therefore you have to rename the first file with the second file's name (essentially rewriting it) in the same location you found it. Be sure to do this with the emulator closed out or it could rewrite it again before you ever get a chance to open it. Good luck!

    If I get a new PC or Laptop and want to transfer my emulator over to the new PC, how exactly would I do that? I’ve tried just copying the application, but didn’t work
    So I assume I have to include the installation process or whatever? I’d like to avoid downloading from the web if possible, hence why I’m trying to transfer the actual emulator over

I tried deleting the Rom from the app and adding it back again. I made sure to copy all the files and savestates and I still have those. However, after I added the Rom back in the app again I wasn't able to get the save/savestate working. I tried renaming them and changing them with other savestates, but it didn't work. Have you any idea what I could do to get my progress back?

    Trying to transfer a Retroarch save to Dolphin in Phantasy Star Online. When I go to Retroarch's saves, I can see the actual char save file(8P-GPOE-PSO_CHARACTER.gci). When I go to Dolphin, I don't get the same path/file system as the one in the video(C:\Users\"NAME"\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\GC\USA). I don't have a save folder under USA folder. I have a MemoryCardA.USA.raw file in the GC folder and can't see the actual save files. Maybe I create the MemoryCard in the wrong format...but it works as an actual save for the game though. I tried importing the save data from Retroarch to MemoryCardB in the Dolphin mem card manager, but for some reason it is not showing up a second memory card in the game, even though I have configured slot B as a memory card in Dolphin. I tried copying memcard onto B in mem card manager, which said that it worked, but the game only shows one mem card loaded. I also tried deleting the new character save on dolphin and import the old one in its place, but as soon as I opened the game, it stated that the file was corrupt and would have to be formatted/deleted. I have no clue where to go from here. I keep getting freezes in Retroarch with PSO. It's kinda rare, but you have to exit the game in order to save, so saves are far and few between...unless you exit the game a lot. I would like to transfer my char over to Dolphin.

    Do I need to transfer the game save or I can play the same save by transfering the states? Did not understand what the states are for.
