      It's my fault. I made mistake. Heres how it went.

      I had Pi2 and I bought Pi3

      I made fresh install the newest retropie version (this was the mistake)

      Put old usb in and start Zelda Majora's Mask.

      All progres lost.

      I started Ocarina of time.

      All progres lost.

      I made a usb stick copy but not sd card copy and of course the in game saves are at the sd card.

      Damn. I can do nothing for it. Everything lost.

      Is it possible that someone else would copy save game file for me so I don't have to start from the beginning or is that even possible?

            Does anyone have Ocarina Of Time or Majora's Mask save game files to share? Ocarina of Time was played to the Shadow Temple not the final boss.

            Majora's Mask I was just going to Great Bay & Zora Cape.

            It would save my day If someone have those save files for share. Doesn't want start again from the beginning those games.

              @jptsk Sorry. Don't have either of these.

              It brings up a good question though. Are there any legal issues with sharing SaveState files? @herb_fargus @meleu

                @muehltime Didn't even think about that but I can't see any reason why it would be problem? Maybe someone knows better.

                  Next time just SSH into your Pi and for each system save the save point files so you won't lose any progress what so ever.
                  Also saving the save states helps as well since i rely on that one more often anyways.

                    I'm not a lawyer nor a forum admin but I believe that, as this kind of file doesn't have any copyrighted material, then it's perfectly legal. And if we look carefully at the forum rules, sharing SaveState files doesn't seem to violate any of those rules.

                    In my opinion it's OK to share. But the forum admins have the final word about that. ;-)
