How to move saved games to another vcs

[digitalbilly]

Ok I got 2 vcs 800 does any one know how to sync saved games from one console to another?

As far as I know, game saves are only stored locally.

I can boot into linux and browse the file system but I dont know where my saved games are stored.

im guessing there has to be a way i can copy my save game progress over to the new VCS

 

Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction?

I Figured it out was actually pretty easy.

 

First I booted in to Batocera then went in to file manager.

Go to /media/storage/user.var/bundles

 

you will see 2 folders under /bundles

one will be for guest account and one will be your actual account

 

I ended up copying the whole /bundles foler.

 

copy the whole directory and replace the whole folder on the new VCS drive.

A very good solution until Atari sets up a cloud synchronization for that.

I seriously doubt that will ever happen.

Pretty cool that you can browse the file system like that though. Can’t do that with a locked-down game console.
