Hello. I'm interested in knowing how to convert battery saves that work with RetroArch.

Maybe we can do some kind of list here.
Snes - srm is the standard here.
Game Boy (Color) - I find many SAV format here, I read and tested, renaming to .srm works, also cross compatible between regions.
Game Boy Advance - format is .sps (gameshark save). Might need to convert to srm. Probably by converting them first to .sav, and then sav->srm with gbaconv tool by the libretro guys. I think I can convert to sav first using this tool, if I find a copy.
N64 - Most popular is .n64 save file, also found eep. Don't know how to convert these.
Sega GG/MS/Genesis/CD/32X - I am yet to find saves for these systems, I found like 4 .bin for the genesis.
PSX - popular one is .gme, I think you can convert this to srm with the PSXMemTool.

I know that for GBA I can go each game and resave to sav, but was looking for a faster way, found G6 save converter but can't find any working DL link.

    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released

    @The Real Jdbye, it's bed bath and beyond you nitwit
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @K3Nv2 you said instructions with pictures, same difference
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol now with 32GBs of VRAM Ken?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No IKEA shit breaks within a month bed bath and beyond goes beyond

    Plus pictures don't always cut it with furniture when there's like 10 different bolt styles and they're just like figure it out
