EmuDeck WE - Cloud Saves
Added 2023-03-31 23:31:33 +0000 UTCHi!
This beta enables support for SaveBackup, on SteamOS you can use it to backup your Game States and Saved Games to your cloud provider.
On this beta we are going a bit further, now you'll be able to sync your games automatically between Windows devices.
There's a caveat, you are gonna need to:
1 - Go to Manage Emulators , Steam Rom Manager and click on Reset configuration. This will update your parsers with the new configurations.
2 - Close Steam and launch Steam Rom Manager and readd all your games again, unfortunately this is something needed to be done so we can load our Cloud Manager before launching the games.
3 - Go to Cloud Backup, select your cloud provider ( NextCloud is not yet implemented ) and click on Run SaveBackup, a browser window will open asking for your credentials, login and that's everything you need to do.
Now every time you open a game, EmuDeck will download your states and saved games from the cloud, and when you exit the game it will upload the new states or saved games being created for that emulator.
Opening EmulationStationDE will sync all emulators so the first time could take some time.
This will be 100% compatible with a SteamOS release of this same feature in the future, if you are using SaveBackup already on SteamOS then all your saved games will be downloaded on Windows. You can sync your Windows states to SteamOS using SaveBackup too but for now on SteamOS you'll need to do it manually every time. We will add this EmuDeck WE feature in a future the SteamOS release so all your data can be up to date so you play in whatever Windows or SteamOS device you own.
If you have 2.0.17, just open it to upgrade to 2.0.18 automatically.

SD Ryujinx files now back up from SD so had a go with my pc, in theory it should work but if you change the save file or make a shortcut, Ryujinx writes a new one so I've abandoned that idea for the time being, tbh I only play 2 games with Ryujinx so it's not a huge drama and I tend to use my steam deck docked instead of the pc As I was blown away how good a docked SD is

2023-04-22 17:00:05 +0000 UTCBeen doing a lot of playing around with this and after a bit of trial and error got my pc and steamdeck sharing the same save folder, I copied the SD nand file to the yuzu on the pc and my emudeck is on my D disk so I had to remove the emulation station yuzu folder on drive C I have now linked my Ryujinx save folder to the yuzu save folder so they back up to Google drive as well. It's been fun learning how the SD desktop works Thanks for all your work with this
