Saves from MiniUI/DotUI folder layout not working

[axiel7]

The DotUI Roms folder layout is working fine but not the Saves folder.

Supports stock/Onion/DotUI SD card layout

If this is working as intented I think you should update the README to mention that you need to use the OnionOS Saves layout

I'm only familiar with MinUI but if it works in the same way then the save folder layout is quite different and will need some work to get going.

Saves for Onion/Allium are stored at /Saves/CurrentProfiles/saves/CORE/GAME.srm
Saves MinUI are stored at /Saves/CORE/GAME.sav
The extension are different and will need to be renamed but as far as I can tell they should be compatible

Save states for Onion/Allium are stored at /Saves/CurrentProfile/states/CORE/GAME.stateX
Save states for MinUI are stored at /.userdata/shared/CORE/GAME.stX
I haven't tried but I have a feeling they won't be compatible.

Hope that helps!

The extension are different and will need to be renamed

I just tried it and they work with the .sav extension. I first renamed a few saves to .srm but didn't work.

So the only difference are the folders names, in MiniUI the folders are named after the console (GBA) but with Allium/OnionOS the folder are named after the core (gpSP)

Just be aware that I think MinUI keeps the original rom extension whereas onion doesn’t. For example:

MinUI: game.zip.sav
Onion: game.srm

Maybe give that a try

I always decompress my games so that's not the case. As I said before and for future reference, if you come from MiniUI you don't need to rename the .sav files just the parent folder

Ah right… apologies for the misinformation then!

Good to know!
