Synching save/ config files across devices = MAGIC!

OK – hear me out. I'm probably the not the only one buying new devices all the time (plus running emulators on PC) and not having consistent save files across all devices is a nightmare. I find myself resterting games over and over again when I get a new device, plus PC emulation is a totally separate thing altogether.

Imagine instead being able playing Zelda Wind Waker on PC/ Dolphin, then pick up your Odin2 and continuing to play where you left off, using the same save file, automatically.

Good news: I think this is possible, by using Syncthing, an application which allows to share folders across multiple devices and keep them synched. Essentially it creates a sort of Dropbox. So all you need to do is to add the "saves" folder of each emulator to Synthing and to install it in all devices (including PC).

I did it with Retroarch and it works perfectly. It's mindblowing. By the way, same thing for all your config files. You set them once and it works everywhere!!!

Now the issue: many android emulators (AetherSX2, Dolphin, Duckstation) have all their files in the Android/data folder, which is not accessible from most apps (Synchting cannot access it for example). So the above method doesn't work. You can't even change the path of the saves folder in these emulators (would be a great feature). The only way I know of yo make the /data folder discoverable is to root your android device. This becomes complicated for a variety of reasons – I personally have not been able to do it: all the tutorial online show rooting of Android phones and tablets, but rooting an RG Cube or an Odin is not exactly the same.

Any smart idea here? Or has anybody identified a better method?
