Lost my save data?

[Alan Ashe]

First off, my apologies if this is the wrong forum for this. That said:

I upgraded to the latest version yesterday, but it appears all my save data from the version I was using before (1.8.0, if I remember right). Any way to retrieve my old saves, or is it gone forever?

If you're using the "Installer" version of PPSSPP (on Windows), savedata is saved to `C:\Users\(YourUsernameHere)\Documents\PPSSPP\PSP\SAVEDATA` while the emulator itself is saved to `C:\Program Files\PPSSPP`
If you're using the regular "zipped" version of PPSSPP (on Windows), savedata is saved to `memstick\PSP\SAVEDATA` in the same location as PPSSPP's .exe file.

Of course, those are the default locations for those two versions, but that can be changed by going to PPSSPP's Settings > System and checking/unchecking "Save Path in My Documents" as needed.
You can also drag-and-drop your savedata between the two locations freely.

Copied the save data from my main PPSSPP folder into the one in My Documents, and so far, everything appears to be back to normal. Thanks for the help!
