Hacking Why do they have an option for "Alternative" save?

It's much easier to have saves in the same folder as your games. Alternative just makes it more confusing

For people playing the game with 2 different users?

Loads of people requested for an alternate save path in the TC forum, actually, that's why they implemented it. I also think it's easier when the save files are in the same folder but apparently some people prefer the alternative.

I tend to use both one of each of my CycloDS carts. I generally have my RPG specified cart with alternate save paths so I can backup my saves quite quickly and easily (I've been quite wary of protecting my saves since I lost a bunch a while back), whereas for my cart with party games and such I use the regular method. When deleting games I don't like, I can easily find the corresponding save files.

It really depends what you use it for, so it is really nice to see that there is an option.

Why on earth would you use two CycloDS carts? Why not just use two MicroSD's?

I like having them in a different folder, because I can just drag the folder onto my PC to back up.

Well i think one reason is its easier to backup save files. Instead of having to select saves and dodging the .nds, its easier to have all sav in one folder.

i use it because i find it easier, cleaner and more organized

Although a way to avoid that would be to sort files by type, then just select all the .sav files like that.

But yeah, I think this is a great feature. Good for the people who like to have a individual folder for different file types.
