Trying to find where the save games are stored using SCUMMVM
« on: April 29, 2026, 02:12:19 AM »
I have started using ScummVM in AmiBench, playing Simon The Sorceror 2, and after saving my game have been trying to find where the saves are stored, but can not find where they are stored.

I couldn't find anything in the ScummVM folder in the programs: drive, that just contains an ini file which has a list of zip files, nor could I find anything relating to a saves file in the folder where I put the game files in the Work: drive.

Saving from the ScummVM ctrl-F5 interface doesn't work, just stating to use ingame save facility instead, which is what I used anyway.

Where are the saves stored? I want to back it up and not risk losing them whenever there is a firmware update.

They are not saved inside the amibench environment  so will not be overwritten by any firmware update.

If you need to back them up you will need to remove the card and look in /home/a600gs/.local/share/scummvm/saves

Issues like this is where having either shell or remote access to the underlying Linux file system would be beneficial.

/home/a600gs/.local/share/scummvm/saves

At the moment there is no way to copy that location to another USB key or transfer it to another computer. Even having /home/a600gs/ accessible via FTP would be handy.
