Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to play on the same save of a game on different pc’s, using a memory stick? It would be great to just have your Citra game on a memory stick so you could play the game wherever you are.
In order for us to provide better support, we need to see the log generated by citra. This guide will walk you through how you can obtain the log file: How to Upload the Log File
Yes, that’s possible. You can even make Citra portable and carry both the installation itself and the save data on the stick.
Just carrying the save file means you’d have to carry around Citra’s sdmc
and nand
folder. Basically, start Citra, then go to File>Open Citra Folder
. Then copy the sdmc
and nand
folders found here. Paste these to your memory stick. Now you can go to your other PC, start up Citra, go to File>Open Citra Folder
, and replace the sdmc
and nand
folder here with the ones from your memory stick. If you keep doing that, it should work.
As I eluded to earlier, you can also make Citra completely portable:
Go to Download Citra - Citra and select Manual download
. Then under Nightly Build, click on your operating system’s icon to the right of the latest build available to download the build.
Extract it (.7z can be extracted using Winrar or 7zip) and put the folder unto your memory stick. Inside the extracted nightly-mingw
folder, create a folder called user
. This Citra should now store all of its config, save files and such inside of this user
folder.
Check to make sure that this user
folder is in the same folder that contains citra-qt(.exe)
Now run the citra-qt executable found inside of the mingw
folder. If done correctly, the user
folder you’ve made should now be filled with the standard user folders (log, config, sdmc, nand, ect.)
You can run this build from your memory stick (though, if your memory stick is a bit crappy, that might become a bottleneck). Or you can move this build to-and-from your memory stick to whatever system you want to use Citra on.
