Game Save Locations - rockbox948 - 2022-01-31

I hope this isn't a silly question but where are the saves for the games located?  I want to back up the saves.

Separately, I have Kodi running on multiple Amazon FireTVs in the house.  I'd like to be able to pick up where I left off on a game, regardless of which FireTV I am playing on.  Is there a way to do this?

Savestates are located in your userdata folder in the "Savestates" folder. On linux, my savestates are located at
 
Code:
/home/xxx/.kodi/userdata/Savestates

There you'll see a folder for each add-on, with savestates inside.

In-game saves are in a subfolder named "InGameSaves":
 
Code:
/home/xxx/.kodi/userdata/Savestates/InGameSaves

Note that this may require the GSoC Savestate Manager (20913 (PR)) which is currently being tested. I include this PR in my test builds, which you can find at https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/releases .

I use my test builds, and when I pick up a game it loads the last savestate. My Android test builds should work on FireTV:

What about ~/.kodi/saves directory? I've noticed most of the games are now saved there.
