How do your transfer your PSP saves from one Android device to the next? I tried backing up app data and restoring it on the other, but it didn't work. I am using the same SD card too, so if it is on the SD card I don't know why it wouldn't work automatically.

What 'tiktakt0w' posted is essentially correct, for how to find the saves in the Android filesystem, but it skipped over what tools you need to access this.

Standard Android system-level backup tools have nothing to do with this sort of thing, as you've already noticed.

What you need to do is to find and install a good generic file manager tool app, such as the "ES File Explorer", and learn how to use it in copying files/folders between the internal or sdcard storage and other storage locations. These can include cloud services (though I never use such) or shared folders on a PC in your LAN (which is what I always use).

You can then use "ES File Explorer" first on one Android device, to copy the PSP game saves to a PC folder, and then use the same app on the other Android device to copy those saves from the same PC folder to the local "sdcard/PSP/SAVEDATA" folder of that device.

I use this method to let all four of my Android devices share some things through a shared folder on a PC.
(Not just game saves, but also sideloaded beta apps and a lot of other stuff.)
