Stolen phone

Post by mamen » Sun Nov 08, 2015 2:48 pm

I bought drastic for my android phone and I had a couple of games on it. Recently my phone was stolen and I was wondering if all my game saves would remain when I install drastic on my new phone?

How would I be able to import a save file? I found a save file but it's in a .duc format.

Try this site:

http://shunyweb.info/convert.php

Select "Action Replay Max DS (.duc / .dss)" for source format and "Acekard RPG | EZFlash V | RAW Format [Autodetection] (.sav)" for destination format. Then rename the .sav file it produces to have a .dsv extension and put the file in sdcard/DraStic/backup.

I changed it to a .dsv file and put in the backup folder but I can't seem to see it in drastic? The save works fine on the ds emulator I use for my PC. Should it appear in "Manage Savestates".

DraStic is very sensitive about save names so make sure it is
[exact rom name, including Capitals and punctuations].dsv
For example
Rom name: Pokemon_Fake !E.nds
Will work: Pokemon_Fake !E.dsv

Will fail to be seen:
Pokemon_Fake!E.dsv (missing space)
Pokemon Fake !E.dsv (underscore repkaced with a space)
Pokemon_fake !E.dsv (capitalization does not match the rom)
Pokemonfake.dsv (too many things wrong to count)
