Hi guys,
I would like to port my savegames from an Android/retroarch to the R36S running ArkOS. Not sure how to do that. Any guides?
I already tried to sync savegames between two android devices, but Retroarch on the "new" device did not recognize the saves, hence I am close to giving up.

Any help will be appreciated!

I realize this post is a year old but for anyone who sees it for future reference it may be as simple as locating where the saves should be and making sure the cores match. Different cores in RetroArch use different file formats. For example .sav and .srm. There are programs that can convert them back and forth available online.

That is helpful, thank you! I still have not found a good way to sync via Dropbox etc

You suggestion would mean to set up all separate folders in the same structure on various syncs devices.

Will put that on my list and try it out.
