Paths look like this: path=mp:/SCUMMVM/MONKEY2

You can also specify a save path where the saves are stored like this: savepath=mp:/SCUMMVM/SAVES

Thank you, that worked fine for me (at least the path-Entry). Saving using the savepath still does not work (because of a supercard on my side). Saving to SRAM works though.

I've compiled the following for my .ini file...

code:
[ds]
forcesramsave=true

[Monkey1]
description=Monkey Island 1
path=mp:/Monkey Island 1
gameid=Monkey1
savepath=mp:/Monkey Island 1


[Monkey2]
description=Monkey Island 2
path=mp:/Monkey Island 2
gameid=Monkey2
savepath=mp:/Monkey Island 2

[Tentacle]
description=Day of the Tentacle
path=mp:/Day Of The Tentacle
gameid=Tentacle
savepath=mp:/Day Of The Tentacle

[Atlantis]
description=Indiana Jones
path=mp:/Indiana Jones
gameid=Atlantis
savepath=mp:/Indiana Jones




However, with my Supercard Lite, the saves disappear... Any ideas?

Infact, no games save!!!

HELP!!

You have to use QPC to save because the SC doesn't have a battery to keep the SRAM.

Switch off and quickly switch on and manually save in the Saver menu.

Just take another .sav and rename it. You have to do it after everytime you played or else your save is lost.

Rename it like this: If your ScummVM file has the name MonkeyIsland.nds, then you need a save file called MonkeyIsland.sav.

Again: To save, turn off, quickly turn on, go to the Saver tab and choose the .sav file and confirm with A.

I think your problem is that the paths should be like mp:\Monkey Island 1 not mp:/Monkey Island 1

I'm running on an m3 and the code given to get the saves to work on it here have worked flawlessly for me. The only question i have is, is there a way to save the left handed switch option on that ini too? kind of a pain to switch that each time i load it up

(with beta2 and M3 Lite)

What is the "left handed switch option" ?
