Sync saves?

[Alex960096]

Can I sync saves between my PC and iOS ? If yes -- how? Thank u in advance!

Sorry if this isn't much help, but besides manually copying the contents of the savedata folder from one device to the other, the only thing I can think of is dropbox. I've been using it to keep my saves synced between two PCs. I just had the entire ppsspp folder installed on a folder monitored by dropbox. Everytime I save something, dropbox saves the changed savedata on the cloud and it is mirrored on the other PC upon opening (and vice versa).

just two things that could be a problem - first is that I don't know how the iOS version of dropbox works, so I'm not sure if there's a way to manually change the folder it monitors (since iOS won't let you just change the install path of apps willy-nilly.) Second is that the initial syncing could take a while if you have a game that has forced data installs (peace walker I think force installs around 400 megs of data) but once that's done, syncing shouldn't take much time as normal savedata is only a few kbs.

Actually, its forced data install is only about 30 megabytes, but yes, some could possibly be larger.

I see. Sorry. I don't really have peace walker and just went by what some google search results say when I searched for PSP games with forced installs (I read that peace walker's data install is 800 mb for the full install and half of that for the small.)

[TheDax]

That's correct, but it's only for the optional voice pack (and even then, the larger install is only for loading times, which will do nothing for PPSSPP, since we don't emulate loading times/UMD disk seeking basically). The base game only needs 30. At any rate, sorry for getting off-topic.

Dropbox or Google Drive are probably your best bets.

I haven't tried Google Drive yet, but I remembered another useful feature of dropbox when it comes to syncing saves - the ability to restore previous versions of a file and having the option of restoring files that have been recently deleted. No more worrying about corrupting a save or accidentally saving over an important one.
