N64 - ‘gles’ save file location
-
Good day, can anyone tell me where my save files (not save states) for games that run the “mupen64plus-gles2n64” emulator are located? I am trying to backup my saves before I do some tests. They are NOT located within the ROM directory.
Pi 3b board
RetroPie v4.3 -
some games missing save files (but they do exist somewhere) Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Banjo Kazooie.
-
Check this directory:
/home/pi/.local/share/mupen64plus/save
They'll be named after the ROM and have a ".sra" extension.
-
Will do, Thank you for the quick response.
-
That got it. I was able to move the saves from my 3B board on 4.3 to my 3b+ board on 4.4 stretch. no issues.
Thank you very much.

@endersenigma No problem. Enjoy.

Is there a way to make saves appear in the roms folder?
-
I believe so. I had a similar question recently and found this. Seems like with some adjustments it’ll work.

I have not tried it yet though. Let me know if this works for you

@jdepp unfortunately this won't work since mupen64plus is not a retroarch emulator.

I had the same problem with the 4.4. iso. I also thought saving to rom-dir is default.
You can edit the path in:
sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg#Path to directory where emulator save states (snapshots) are saved. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used SaveStatePath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64" #Path to directory where SRAM/EEPROM data (in-game saves) are stored. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used SaveSRAMPath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64" -
Yes, I believe I did the same thing with the configs text, sorry I’m pretty new to all this. Just trying to shed some light on something I was reading about the last few days.

Like this:
#Path to directory where emulator save states (snapshots) are saved. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used
SaveStatePath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64"
#Path to directory where SRAM/EEPROM data (in-game saves) are stored. If this is blank, the default #value of ${UserConfigPath}/save will be used
SaveSRAMPath = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64"
