Updating a game

This page contains simple instructions for how to update one of your ROMs to a newer version on Afterplay.

Note that you will need to have finished the free premium trial or be a paid premium member to transfer saves between games. Afterplay cannot guarantee your save will be compatible between game versions. Compatibility is game-specific and is up to the game's developer.

1. Add your new ROM file to your Afterplay library, ideally with some kind of version number in the name so you can tell it apart from the old one.

2. If you would like to move your save, go to the SRAMs save tab in the old version and download your in-game save file. This will not work with auto or manual save states. It must be a save made inside the game with the game's built in save functionality.

3. Go to the new game's SRAMs save tab, and upload the save.

4. Press the Load button on your uploaded save. The emulator will boot to the game's title screen, and you can load your in-game save as normal.
