Managing GB/GBC Saves: Using Emulators

[NinFanBoyFTW]

This tutorial will show you how and where to access your save files while using a GB/GBC emulator. This guide will cover 2 of the most popular emulators for running GB/GBC games: Visual Boy Advance (Computer), and My OldBoy! (Android). This guide assumes that you have already set up and played one of these emulators at least once. Scroll down to your emulator of choice.

This is not a setup guide. This guide is meant to show where to find or inject your save files.

 

Visual Boy Advance:

1. Navigate to the folder that your games are located in.

2. Open the folder and your save should be inside with the same name as your desired game with the file extension (.SAV) instead of the file extension (.GB) or (.GBC)

3. MAKE A BACKUP OF THIS FILE BEFORE USING OR EDITING IT WITH ANY SAVE EDITORS.

My OldBoy!:

4. Inside the "save" folder should be your save files.

5. MAKE A BACKUP OF THIS FILE BEFORE USING OR EDITING IT WITH ANY SAVE EDITORS.
