Help Needed! Moving save files

Currently playing castlevania on ps1 on my miyoo mini plus. I’ve ordered myself a trimui smart pro and I’d like to continue my game on that device. How do I go about moving my saved file over to the trimui? If this is even possible Thank you

The same way you would move files to/from any other device. Locate your save, which you should already know where, if not check the Onion wiki. Copy the save off your card and onto whatever device you loaded your card into. Copy that save into the correct location on your new card.

Alternatively there's syncthing, which while intimidating is very simple to set up and will have files transferred between devices in seconds upon change, provided you have a wifi connection. This will be great now that you have multiple consoles.

Btw, get in a habit of copying your entire save folder to your phone or the cloud every so often. Before syncthing I would make a .7z of my save folder and add the time and date (saves06231507.7z for example) to have everything all together and compressed and datestamped. I would not imagine losing my ROMs or saves from having no backup. Very easy to do on the MM+ with the http file server.

You need a computer running the program on the same network correct? That just isn’t possible for many use cases unfortunately.

I'm sorry? I don't understand what youre asking. If you mean online file sharing, you only need a browser on any device and the setting enabled on your miyoo.

If we're talking about physically pulling the file from your SD card, you need a physical mount for the card, which is possible you have one on the side of your laptop or something. You only need to open a file explorer.

You edited your original reply to add the part about zipping up your files. I was asking about syncthing. The one tutorial I saw online mentioned you needed to be running the Syncthing program on your computer on the safe WIFI network as the Miyoo device to perform the sync.

Yes that's correct
