**DISCLAIMER: You do NOT need to follow this guide if you downloaded Citra for the first time after December 6th, 2016
|
|
OR if you have freshly installed Citra since using an older build.**
|
|
|
|
In new versions of Citra, the location of saves has changed, so this guide will show how to migrate your saves to the
|
|
new location on Windows (Linux and macOS Bleeding Edge builds are planned, we are currently busy working on bringing
|
|
nightly builds back.).
|
|
|
|
1. Press Windows + R, type `explorer %localappdata%`, this should bring up a Windows Explorer window in a `Local`
|
|
folder. Navigate to the `citra` folder.
|
|
|
|
{{< img src="entry/migrate-your-savefiles/ex_1.png" width="574px" height="142px">}}
|
|
|
|
2. Navigate to the `app-x.x.x` folder with the highest version number.
|
|
|
|
{{< img src="entry/migrate-your-savefiles/ex_2.png" width="570px" height="497px">}}
|
|
|
|
3. Move the user` folder to your desktop. **<u>Make sure the user folder no longer exists in the existing folder.</u>**
|
|
|
|
4. Run citra-qt.exe`. The settings should now be reset, and Citra will begin using the new location. Now you can exit
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
5. Press Windows + R, type `explorer %appdata%`, this should bring up a Windows Explorer window in a `Roaming` folder.
|
|
Navigate to the ```Citra ```folder.
|
|
|
|
6. Move the contents of the `user` folder on your desktop to the `Citra` folder, overwrite any files if asked.
|
|
|
|
Now, all of your settings and saves for Citra have been moved to the new location, which has the advantage of being able
|
|
to be accessed by any new version of Citra, bringing stability improvements and storing your user data in a safe place.
