Well assuming you have the same rom named the same on both devices you can either copy the savestate from your Drastic/savestate folder or (possibly easier) load the rom and use the manage savestate option to upload a savestate to google drive on the device you want the savestate from and use the download option on the one you want to continue on. You must be logged into the same google drive account on both devices.

If you are talking about the cartridge save file the .dsv I am not sure if that transfers with the google drive save state the .dss.

If you are talking about how to load a save state from the emulator then you need to first load the game. You will not have access to the continue option or if you did it would be the wrong savestate anyways. Once you are in your rom oprn the menu and select load savestate then pick the state you want to load. If you want a cartridge save (the kind a ds really makes) then you will need to do an in game save after you load your savestate.

That's the thing though, how do I get my save state from my phone to my tablet so I can pick up where I left off without much hassle? I don't see any save state when I follow your instructions

Are you using the user option (using a user other then default) on either or both devices.

I haven't modified users so I imagine it's default on both. How do I check?

if you have a pc then i suggest you just do basic file transfer. as tk said you can use the dsv file found in drastic/backup or the dss in drastic/savestates. just make sure the rom name and save are the same from the same area (like a us rom wont work if your save is from a eur game).

or if your savvy enuf, you can send it via bt using some file management app like es file explorer
