@@ -30,4 +30,17 @@ Let me give you a rundown of the things this script will do:
|
|
|
7. Right next to the _roms_ directory, a new directory _saves_ will be created, containing a subdirectoryfor each system
|
|
|
8. Now, the setup script will ask you to enter a name for the remote base save directory. This is the directory where the save files will be synced to. You can enter any name you like, I recommend calling it _RetroArch_. After naming it, the setup script will create this directory and one subdirectory for each system RetroPie supports (if necessary)
|
|
|
9. Your RetroPie will be configured so each system uses it's own directory for saves. Before, RetroPie looked for these files in the _roms_ directory (which made syncing them without accidentially uploading a ROM - ILLEGALLY - so much more difficult)
|
|
|
-10. That's it, setup is complete. If you already have some save files within the _roms_ directory you need to move them to their subdirectory within the _saves_ directory now

|
|
+## What will RetroPie do after this script is installed?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Whenever you start or stop playing a game, the acompanying save files will be down- or uploaded to the configured remote:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* starting a game will trigger _RCLONE_ to download save files for the game from the remote
|
|
|
+* stopping a game will trigger _RCLONE_ to upload save files for the game to the remote
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Of course, this only works if your RetroPie has access to the configured cloud service.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Are there risks?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Of course! I'm a hobby programer, so this script might have errors I just haven't found yet. I'll do my best to fix them, though.
