Pcsx2 save state

broose

Hi I have asked this on the discord channel without reply. I would like to transfer save states from one pc to another but can’t see at all where they are saved to. Thanks

/userdata/saves is usually the location for both save states and native saves.

Hi although there are some files in that folder i dont think they are save state files as when i copy them over nothing will load. i dont think pcsx2 uses the retroarch save state system but its own but i could be wrong. where is the pcsx2 application installed to? cheers

Save states are usually not compatible between different emulators. This also means the same emulator on different architectures/operating systems, such as Windows vs. Linux. Also, I think the version number may be unique as well, so check with the emulator itself to see if it can load save states with a different version of itself.

A surefire way to test for this is to create a save state in Batocera and see where it creates the file.

Hi both my systems are exactly the same, in fact one is a clone of the other. im trying to find out where the save state is saved.

I just checked, my PCSX2 save state is saved in \share\saves\ps2 folder.

I browse to the batocera file share using windows explorer.

Atari was correct.
