Hi,

This Morning I deleted all my profiles on my emummc. Afterwards I made new profiles and tried to start a game. Now it seems that all my saves I had for that game and rest of games are not linked anymore. Is there a way to re-link all my saves to my new profiles(choose exactly same names) on my emummc? So for the record I didn't delete any saves yet, only removed profiles and made new profiles. And it looks to me that DBI is showing me my old saves if I go and check in DBI app for saves.

Is there a way to get the saves I find in DBI to link to my new profiles via an easy way? I will attach the DBI pic which shows the saves.

Thanks in advance.

How do I restore them to the new profile? So first I just copy all files from dbi saves? And in which folder must the copied files then come? Or isn't it as simple as copy/paste in different folder somewhere?

Sorry for all questions, I normally don't care about saves, but now my son his saves are gone and he won't be that happy lol. But if it wouldn't be that straight forward, then he just can play again from zero, think its actually only one game which he really cares about his saves.

Well if the nand backup wasn't your emunand then probably it is no use.

I think you need to play the games once before you can restore a save.
The folder structure must match exactly what dbi expects, I don't use dbi personally but in my experience all save managers use a slightly different folder structure, so if it doesn't work right away, try to make a save backup of an installed game and compare the folder structure, and change the folder structure of the recovered saves to match.

With DBI you do not need to play games, also you do not need any folder structure. Just put all your raw save files (0000...) to folder configured as backup in DBI and just restore it. If you have the same users on console, DBI just restore. If you don't then DBI asks for which user saves should be restored.
