      HI...

      I'm very new on retropie and spend some days now to play with it. I found one ROM of a Game who are from the US and spend now some time on it, but I would to prefer to using the (Europe) ROM File, who I found now.

      I read, that the Gamedata are safed on a .srm File and I found that in the "roms" Folder on the System. So I try to simply rename the File from "Romfilename (U).srm" to "Romfile (EUROPE).srm" but well... that will not work and I can't open that srm File on my Mac to see, if I can change anything more on it.

      So my question is... Is there any chance to transfer the existing .srm File for the US Version to the Euro-Version?

      I using a Mac, but I can run Windows if there will be a tool available.

      Thanks for help...

        @berlinhimmel Unfortunately not, quite a lot of games on consoles have different memory processes for the NTSC and PAL versions, so the saves aren't swappable.
