.dsv is not found by DesMuMe

[Piske]

Hi, i want to move my savestate from android to PC, but DesMuMe doesn't find it even if it's in the right directory. I have done some check before posting here and DesMuMe works fine with its own .dsv. Is it normal ?

There's a good chance you already know this, .dsv does not store savestates, but in-game saves. So if you copy it then try to load it as a savestate it won't work as expected. I only mention this since you referred to the .dsv as a savestate.

Can you confirm that you aren't able to load in-game saves this way?

If you are able to open DeSmuME via the command line (cmd in Windows) you might get some more insight about what it's doing with the .dsv, eg whether or not it attempts to load it and recognizes the footer.
