Hacking What's this file?

[Saken]

On my Original R4 with Wood v1.25 enabled, on the root of my SD card there's a file called "sram-20110212024747.sav" and i am wondering what it could be and if it's needed?

Note: I have a folder called "Games" that keeps all my games and save files, so it can not be a save file for a game.

Thanks

Do you play GBA games? SRAM is what I see for my gba saves. Do you have emulator? I think gbc uses SRAM too?

I actually once got that on my Acekard and deleted it. Nothing happened. Dunno about your case though . . .

Aijelsop, yes i do have a GBC emulator, Lameboy, but the saves don't work anyway :| (eg. in Pokemon Silver i can't continue either though i saved my game previously)

The number obviously is a date (YEAR-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS, so 12 February 2011, 02:47 AM). If you ever see a 14-digit number beginning with the current year it is almost always a time stamp. If you can remember what you were doing at the time, maybe you can figure out what created the file. Also, you can check the "File last edited" property on your PC to check if the number actually is a timestamp (although I'm 99.9% sure it is).
It looks like some kind of save backup (SRAM is the type of save used on GBA games and maybe more, I know the 3-in-1 tool supports SRAM backups) from an emulator.
