# Downloading saves

After opening your game, press the Settings & Saves button at the top-left to open the menu.

You should see several menus at the top of the screen, make sure that the left-most one, "Saves," is selected.

Be aware that downloading save states (what we call "Autosaves" and "Saves" in the menu) will have limited usefulness, and are almost impossible to move between two emulators even if they are the same version overall.

The saves that can be easily transferred are found under the "SRAMs" tab, and these are saves that are made by the game itself (such as pressing Start in the game and pressing Save as if you were playing on the original hardware). These will say "SRAM" where you see "Autosave" in the screenshot above.
