Saves in cloud storage?
Hi, nice to meet everyone. I'm using Retrobat in my PC, laptop and Windows tablet and it's great. Thanks for everything.
The matter is I'd like to have my saved games shared between devices so I could keep playing in any of them.
The obvious solution was changing saves location to any folder in my OneDrive, but I can't get it because changes under Retroarch settings are not saved due to EmuStation config. I also found the archive 'setup.info', which aims to \Retrobat\saves folder. By changing that value for a directory in my Hard Drive I had no result neither; saves didn't go there for some reason
Note: I should add my Retrobat is installed on an external HDD because my roms collection is huge and I like to move it between computers.
I hope you can give me some hints about this question.
Cheers.

Hello,
I haven't tested this by myself, but I guess you can get what you need by creating symbolic links.
- Open a terminal as administrator and type this command:
So I see something like this as example:
The target folder must not exist to get this command working, but it does exist in a regular RetroBat installation, so you just need to cut (CTRL+X) and paste (CTRL+V) your RetroBat saves folder to the OneDrive location before typing this command.

mklink /D <link> <target>

- Code:
C:\> mklink /D "c:\RetroBat\saves" "c:\Users\YourUserName\OneDrive\RetroBat\saves"
