Where Does simple64 Store Saves and Config?

simple64 keeps saves and config in portable folders beside the program, per game subfolders.

Last updated

simple64 follows portable layout: saves, save states, and config sit in subfolders next to the program rather than AppData. Each game gets its own namespace inside the save tree. Exact subfolder names shifted across simple64 releases, so confirm once per version.

Back up the whole program folder with the emulator closed for exact moves. Controller profiles travel in the same tree. Keep ROMs apart from the portable folder so updates never risk them.

Where simple64 stores this, by platform

Save tree plus config beside the exe. Subfolder names vary by release, so copy whole with the emulator closed.

Same portable model. Check the release notes for renamed save folders before scripting backups.
