First things first: Does Vita Save Manager let you backup games ONLY from Mai/Vitamin dumps? I've tried it on the two physical games I own (Final Fantasy X HD, and Metal Gear Solid HD) and keep getting the "Cannot find eject data" error. When i google: vita save manager "cannot find eject data" - ZERO results show up... It seems to be able to backup the saves for two MaiDump games I have installed (of games I own the digital download rights for), so maybe this ONLY works for MaiDump or Vitamin games?
For the process I've tried, I tried the 9 step directions from Hackinformer and they don't work. So I tried YouTube, and there's only 1 single (English) video on there from 3 months ago (which things may have changed since then - I'm using the most recent version from GitHub). So I'm following that video to the "T" and it isn't working for those two games I physically own. Here's the notes I took from watching that video like 10 times...they show how to backup a save game (haven't gotten to try the restoring that backup quite yet...since I can't even get this to work).
TO BACKUP SAVE DATA
Start Save Manager
X to select game
X to confirm “Start save dumper” (quickly loads up game, then switches back to Save Manager)
X on Slot 0
Hit X for backup (to export save games to Slot 0)
O to close window
O again to exit Save Manager
(it then exits Save Manager, but then Save Manager pops back up - hit O to exit again)
Peel corner down to quit Save Manager, do the same for the game, then launch the game)
"Cannot find eject data" error, then after I hit X it automatically boots back into Save Manager...
P.S. A fix I found online says to go into ux0atch/ directory and delete the folder without _orig at the end, and then take the _orig out of the other folder. This doesn't work.
Yet another fix says to go to ux0:app/ and do the same deleting/renaming of the .orig eboot files there....but these games (being physical official games I bought on Sony memory 'cartridges' I assume) don't seem to have anything stored in ux0:app/ ....which also leaves me to believe that you can't use Save Manager to backup saves from actual physical games.
***EDIT*** This seems to be ONLY an issue with the nightly from 2/8/2017. Stable version 0.8.0 seems to work fine.
