Lost saved game on the MyBoy GBA emulator?
For a couple of days I was playing Pokemon Ruby on the "MyBoy!" Gameboy Advance emulator on Android and I progressed very far on that game. But today day as I load the game, it displays an option of new game, my saved game is lost all of a sudden.
Why did this happen and how could I retrieve the saved game back again? I used the in-game feature to save my progress all this long.

Assuming you haven't altered the contents of your devices internal storage since your save was last present, the save file 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.
If you can't find the save file there, or anywhere else on your device, it has most likely been deleted.

Where are GBA emulator save files?
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 transfer my Myboy save files?
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 to save game in pokemon gba emulator save game in My boy and other emulator save game emulator.
