Dekopon - (Mostly) Fullspeed 3DS Emulation on Nintendo Switch

Where do 3Ds saves get saved to and what format? Like what directory?

Im trying to get 100% save files for mario kart 7 and Mario 3D Land to generate shader caches to improve performance for new users.

Also are shader caches transferable between Tico & Dekopon, or Pc/Android and Dekopon?
Or would it need to be Switch-android crated shader caches?

Saves are stored on the virtual sd card that the emulator has in the same way a real 3DS saves them. I'm looking into some sort of tool (like Checkpoint) to dump decrypted saves so that they can be easily transported around and used either with a real 3DS or other emulators.

I assume shader caches are not transferable across anything, but I wouldn't know because I've never tested it.

Also, shader caches do contain some copyrighted game code, so I'm not sure about the legality of sharing them. I'd request that you don't share them in this thread, although I can't stop what you do elsewhere.

Could you please give a general directory address, like SD/Dekopon……. Or /switch/dekopon…. Ect for default location.

I have Raikopon and Dekopon and Tico 3Ds so im unorganized rn with everything

Also does Dekopon support custom save path locations or file path?

It's `sdmc:/switch/dekopon` for the full path. Dekopon supports custom directories for ROMs (normally `sdmc:/switch/dekopon/roms` and it's main folder (normally `sdmc:/switch/dekopon`). Subfolders of the main directory cannot be changed at this moment.

Thanks. I'll take a look through that.
