Emulator will not recognize .sav or .ss files - Rowan0 - 07-28-2024
I have mGBA and the game's ROM under C:\users\[my computer account]\Downloads, and while playing I saved my game to one of the game's built-in save slots and to two different savestates. The files are indeed there in the game's folder, and are not empty. However, when I open mGBA, loading the ROM will act as if it is my first time playing, and my saves are not there when I open the dropdown menu at the top of the emulator window.
I am thinking this *might* be an issue with the saves being in the wrong folder, so I ask where the saves usually are? I know they should be in the same folder as the ROM, but I don't know where exactly that folder should be in relation to the emulator's own folder.
I did not mention this in the post, but the save state/load state menu you can access while playing the actual game with f10/shift+f10 is also completely empty.
OK, so I appear to have made a mistake. The folder that the saves are being made in is not where the ROM is, instead that is just the shortcut to run that game in mGBA immediately. Now my issue is just finding the actual ROM in my computer's files. So that will be fun.
