This is also vastly more convenient for those of us who are copying save files to a memory card on a daily basis.

Will test the builds from your branch. I like this idea a lot The fact that only game specific saves can get corrupted as opposed to an entire raw memory card is quite the nice feature.

Just tried with zelda tp, starting with no save file at all. I created it, started a game, then tried to save, and it said the card was corrupted, and prompted to format. I did so, and saved, then tried to again, right away. Same thing. Stopping emulation, and restarting it fixed it.
Games that accesses other games saves are working (like MGS or the GC IPL)?

The moved save gets a .deleted extension on the source card. Saves that are deleted by the GC/Wii software are indeed renamed to *.deleted (09-27-2013, 02:19 AM)Jhonn Wrote: Games that accesses other games saves are working (like MGS or the GC IPL)?I tested this with SSBM, and it does give you the Pikmin trophy when there is a pikmin save on the card (09-27-2013, 01:19 AM)RachelB Wrote: Just tried with zelda tp, starting with no save file at all.

Uh, what happens if I delete a game that already have a .deleted file in the virtual memcard folder?

there is currently no extra checking to see if the rename succeeds.
The rename function in C++ is implementation specific, if the destination already exists they can either fail to rename, or replace the destination. I don't know offhand which option is used by windows I can add error checking and force it to be one of these options, or something different i would prefer the replacement option, effectively keeping a backup of the save the most recent time that the emulated software deleted it. Probably should add this info to the first post, but keep in mind you can rename files all you want (just keep the .gci extension) and the names will be preserved each time you load them, the current names are just because they need a default name |
