DSV are not created

Post by Fastbuilder575 » Sun Mar 09, 2014 8:20 pm

I accidentally deleted a .dsv file in /sdcard/drastic/backup. Now i would need it but if i do savestate or save normal ingame, in both cases there is not a new generated .dsv. What do i have to do to get a new dsv file there??

With friendly regards, Christian

ignoring the fact that you somehow deleted a dsv, what game are we talking about? if its a pokemon game, then you are usually royally baconbaconbacon as it will treat it as a corrupt save and you need to start from the beginning.

in any case, savestates dont generate dsv. only ingame saves do.

The DSV file gets created only when the game's save memory is written to. This is deliberate, for example if you load a savestate then quit before making an in-game save, this shouldn't overwrite your DSV. But if you do save in-game after loading the save state the file should be generated shortly thereafter. The only reason I can think of that it won't happen is if you plain don't have space for it.
