How to export .sav files #429

Hi there.

Thanks for an awesome app :)

On iOS you can export save states as .svs files, through the app's GUI:

  1. Long press game
  2. View Save States
  3. Long press on save state
  4. Export
  5. Save the .svs file

Is there a correct way to export a game's saves as an .sav file? Which is a more widely used file format for game saves.

How I'm doing this at the moment:

  1. Enable syncing through DropBox (this lets you see the synced files, Google Drive does not)
  2. Find the files in the "Delta Emulator" directory named in the format GameSave-{HASH}
  3. Copy this and add .sav as an extension
  4. Import into a different emulator (e.g. I'm using mGBA on macOS) running the game

Fortunately I'm currently only using 6 games in Delta, so I just had to try 6 GameSave-{HASH} files to find the right one. Ideally you'd be able to export from the app's GUI, so you would know which game it is for. But also so you didn't necessarily have to use DropBox.

Thanks :)

hello, i'm doing as you've described but it is not working... I get to the .sav file but then it won't allow me to import it on mGBA
