Does it take ages to transfer your saves?
Do you want your saves to be backed up quickly and easily?
Do you want a program which does this for you?


If you answered YES to any of the above questions, you need SaveSafe!

SaveSafe is a simple utility that copies all save files from one place to another!

* Select input folder (could be MicroSD Card)
* Select Output folder (could be your hard drive)
* Tick any other options
* Press "Begin". The process will start
* The program will remember your settings for next time


You need a computer with Windows 2000 or above, and .NET Environment.

Once again, the RomNet team comes up with another fantastic program. For the record, I love your StickyIcons! Thanks for the sweet stuff.  :D

*Edited.

Just for record, I didn't make this. A staff member of RomNet did, his name is James. I asked him to make it though

Very nice, but the same can be done in one single line in a .bat file...
xcopy /sy gamesfolder\*.sav hdd\folder
(put this in save.bat, at the root of your card and you're done!)

I'll have to remember that.
Also, not everyone is comfortable with batch files and command prompt *cough*Hi*cough* and this is just a nice way of doing it.

- Sam

EDIT
If anyone wants it, I made a batch file Here
Just edit the top line with Notepad (right click on the icon once you've saved it, go on 'Open With' then choose Notepad.

Better yet for power users, if you use the great Directory Opus (and everyone that does ANY daily file management should), here is button code that will give you one click, INCREMENTAL .sav file backups.  Copy this to your clipboard, put Dopus in CUSTOMIZE mode, right click any toolbar and select PASTE.

CreateFolder "C:\nds_saves\{date|''MM'-'dd'-'yyyy''}-{time|hh'-'mm}"
Copy FILE "m:\nds\*.sav" TO "C:\nds_saves\{date|''MM'-'dd'-'yyyy''}-{time|hh'-'mm}" FORCE


... Naturally, you'll need to change c:\nds_saves and m: to match the desired locations of your save folder and SD card as applicable.

Now, everytime you hit the button, you'll get a brand new folder named the current date and time, and all your save files dropped in it.

Nice work to all with the suggestions. I have not had much a prob just dropping the .sav to a seperate folder in the past when backing up (sorted by file type when microSD auto opens when in card reader). I will give save safe a try. and ja_dorado, nice work.

Heh, cool! The idea was that it should be a simple tool, i didn't want to install it. Same applies for others.

Thanks for the idea though

Ya, I hear you ... Just offering up "Yet Another Alternative".  I practically LIVE in Dopus, so anytime I can integrate a little script, button or event to automate a task within it, I do. :)
