How can I transfer MyBoy game saves from one phone to another?

I got a new phone and I wanted to transfer the save files from my old phone to my new one. Both my phones have Android.

Is there any way I could transfer the saves?

Solution 1:

You can through various methods:

Assuming you haven't altered the contents of your devices internal storage, the saves can be located from these paths:

sdcard/MyBoy/save/%ROMNAME%.sav

mnt/sdcard/MyBoy/save/%ROMNAME%.sav

storage/emulated/0/MyBoy/save/%ROMNAME%.sav

Note: "sdcard" and "0" both represent the storage root. Legacy devices typically use the mnt path.

All you will have to do is either copy your saves to a microSD card, or send them wirelessly through bluetooth or NFC. To simplify the process I recommend using any of the numerous free archiving apps like ZArchiver to compress your saves before transferring them. I would recommend using .zip format. You can easily accomplish this by long-pressing the save folder in ZArchiver and tapping Compress to *.zip. ZIP format is one of the most universal formats, and I haven't owned an Android smartphone that couldn't either create and/or extract the format.
