Can I recover a save on MyBoy! Free?
I was just about to start playing my Pokemon Platinum game on My Boy! Free on my android, when I accidentally overwrote my save with the title screen. Is there any way of getting back my previous save?

In all likelihood, there is not a way to recover saved files that you have already manually overwritten. However, there is a way to check, in case there were backups etc..
If any backups exist, you would need to manually locate them on your device. Some helpful tips can be found at this question which says:
In "My Boy!," .sav files are actually hidden in the same folders as the roms themselves.
However, you will need to have the full version of My Boy! in order to actually load any save games, as mentioned here.

Locate your saves folder for my boy through a file editor app (ASTRO) internalstorage/simcard->myboy->saves . Delete your . sav file and replace it with the save you downloaded off the internet with the same name, filetype etc. Run your game and there should be an option to play your downloaded save!How do I recover a saved game?

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.How do I load an emulator save?
