Restoring saves and states¶

Restoring brings back a save or save state that RomM has and this device does not: one you deleted by mistake, or states you want on a new device. It is done from a terminal, with rommbat-agent saves restore.

Restore¶

In your RetroBat folder, with the server reachable:

Run emulators\rommbat\rommbat-agent.exe saves restore. It lists everything RomM has that this device does not, marking each row as a save or a state, and whether a state has a screenshot. It writes nothing.
Run it again with --apply to put them back.

To restore one game, add its RomM game number: saves restore 391. Adding the slot name the list shows narrows the saves to that one, but not the states: with --apply, every state RomM holds for that game comes back too. Both forms still need --apply to write.

What restore will not do¶

It does not write a save for a game you are playing. Quit the game and run it again.
It does not overwrite a save already on this device. A save that differs on both sides is a conflict, which you settle there.
It cannot check a save state it brings back; see Save states.

The list says which rows it could not place, and why. See Command line for every option.
