want to backup just game saves - Raspberry Pi General

hello......So ive had my raspberry pi 3 well over a year .... never had a issue .... mostly use it for emulation and sometimes Kodi....So I kinda messed with the configuration of the controls and cant select options .....so figure I may need to format and reinstall.....I googled how to backup game saves but seems that all I find is to backup everything....which may save the wrong controls...I may have worded it wrong but could find much.....My question is it possible to open the sd card on my pc using win32manager and pull out the game saves,reinstall image file and add those saves to fresh install?? and maybe a link if possible.....thank you......zmb187

edit:

I had a flash player on my phone a few weeks ago, and I was able to rip the games from popular flash game sites, but the phone just couldn't handle them. It was way too laggy to play, hopefully it was just the player I was using. If we could find a way to get flash games running at regular speed, the number of games available for this phone would be astounding.
Long time...
Is it just me, or does that packager take a really long time to make the Cab? All the times I've tried it, it just kind of sat there, giving me the Windows 7 Ring of Thinking.

[Q] need help with x8, I am VERY confused.. some programs now dissapeared

hello people, this is my first post here. It's been a week since I got a new x8, and I can't seem to get going with it, I'm always hounded with problems. Before posting I looked up the web for possible answers on my questions and queries, but I found too many guides and I don't know which to follow. I'm a former symbian user, and to be honest I'm a little dissapointed with the android's complexity. Here are some of what i'm curious about.
-.JAR/JAVA programs. I could only find J2ME runner, but in order to convert my .jar to apk it needs to connect to the internet? Isn't there an offline process/another program that runs .jar files?
-CANNOT save to memory card. It's frustrating. all games I install come straight to the phone memory, is there a real way to transfer it to my memory card?
-NO multi-touch. I don't know why but upon reading I found out that an early prototype of the x8 had multi-touch, but now it has none.. any way to activate this?
-GAMES always demand to connect to the internet to download additional data.
-INTERNET connects automatically from the start, IDK why,
sorry If i have lots of questions, and sorry for my english it's not my native language.. Hope I get help here.. Thank you very much and I hope the developers here continue on excelling on their work.
EDIT: now I have managed to root using superoneclick, installed busybox, and the xrecovery. I managed to go to the recovery and install the apps2sd, it said successful but it still installs to phone memory. I now installed link2sd, did a partition on my sd card, but when I rebooted my x8 everything on the sd card was gone, and some of the programs installed on the phone memory doesn't display their icons.. what happened? I need help.. thank you again..

About the java programs, i do not know.
Saving to SD is not a feature in Android 2.1. However, you can get it to work by rooting your phone and installing Apps2sd. There is several guides here on how to do it.
The digitizer is capable for multi/dual touch, but this is something SE has not included in the latest software updates.
Some games needs additional data to be downloaded.
Internet is activated by default. By going into settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile network settings - And uncheck "Data Enabled" then you will be able to disable internet.

did u make backup of ur sd?..no prob..im free rite now
Yeah I have duplicates of the files on my hard drive, mostly they are apk game files. I'd try again my x8 later, something urgent came up.
the programs installed on the phone memory disappeared, and on the menu where they should be located the menu is empty. still I can't figure out why programs don't install in my memory card...
it seems like a huge problem..how bout repair it through pc companion?..but everything will be liked out of the box phone.
but this is what I did. I factory reset the phone, and I see that it is still rooted. Unfortunately I have to download from the marketplace again. Internet is very slow here. but from here, what do I do to install to memory card? thanks..
from what i noe,factory reset only clear your data and didnt touch your rom..if you want start form there..i recommend you to format ur sd card first..but backup all ur data first..use card reader to create the partition..create fat partition first then create ext2 partition..then install link2sd..let say u have 2gb sd..make 1.5gb to fat and balanced goes to ext2 partition..i dont recommend ext3 and ext4 partition..mybe there's is conflit..use MiniTool Partition Wizard to reformat and create the partition..i did it on the first try,everything goes fine.
or maybe u can used fat32 for second partition..when i read at the link2sd thread,fat32 been recognize by all phone..the thread has been updated,i used ext2 partition..and everything works fine till now..
im sory if my instruction bricked ur phone..im also a beginner,and am answering ur quest within my range of knowledge..what i've tell you here is what i've test on my phone and it didnt bricked my phone..
ok, I'm gonna try that and I'd feedback the results to you.. thanks.
good luck and be careful when messing ur phone ..remember to always backup before start,if anything goes wrong.
after lots of trials and errors, I have managed to get the links2sd working. now after I install a game, and I select create link in link2sd, will that automatically be transferred to the sd card?
and should I include the "include devlik cache"?
yes,for every application that u install..click create link and yes u should checked that include delvik cache ..i suggest u to install all app first then create link then reboot ur phone

[Q] AmericanAndroid SD boot problem

Hi,
This is my first time with android - that's why I'm trying SD.
All went ok for about 3 days - I tried many apps from the market & all of a sudden my phone rebooted!
When it booted again I saw the lock screen & can see the tiny icons on the status bar then it just reboot again!
After several attempts I got it booting but most of the apps now force close - my contacts are gone so as my SMS.
Any idea what might caused something like that? is Android so vulnerable that
installing some application can cause a total loss of the system?
- Do I need to re-install every thing again?
- will deleting data.img is enough to force a clean install?
- Is there a way to restore my old data from data.img?
- Is there a recommended book to upgrade from a noob to an educated user?
Thanks,
it's strange because when Americn android craches, it should bootloop.
here's a couple of suggestions:
backup the valuable contents of your SD card then search for file system errors, if your card has a corrupt file here and there it might be the one causing the problem, for the how to, it's in my troubleshooter, check my sig.
Usually a fresh data.img file is considered a clean install unless you've messed with root explorer (or any similar app) and did something wrong to your sytem files.
I'm not sure how to get the data back, I know you can access the data.img contents using a special tool, see here for info http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-partitions-from-windows
there's also a tool on softpedia to do so.
but you can try to look for the SMS data somewhere on your data.img, extract them to your harddrive, then copy them back using android explorer. I haven't tried it, and theoretically it might work, but I can not guarantee it.
My advice is that don't put too much pressure on the device, it's running Android from the SD which is not designed to work as NAND. let the device take a breath for a few seconds after each installation, it may say it finished, but it's still doing something in the background, I learned that the hard way. and always backup our data before you do something new.
and yes, if you use a fresh data.img you will have to install everything again.

Order and chaos on Galaxy Note (N7000)

Hey guys,
So I finally got around to getting this mess sorted out with trying to get Order and Chaos working on my Galaxy Note and it runs great once you actually get 'around' the device checking nonsense.
I do actually own an Android Market and a Gameloft Store license for the game as well as have a subscription but unfortunately neither of these files will actually work due to the in-place device checking.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you where to download these files but the following are the two files you need:
- Order-and-Chaos-v1.0.8-approb.com.apk
- GloftMMHM-snapdragon-approb.com.rar
Once you have both of those files you need to copy the Order-and-Chaos-v1.0.8-approb.com.apk file to your phone via whatever method you usually use, then extract the GloftMMHM-snapdragon-approb.com.rar file to your computer, connect your phone to the computer via USB and copy the files you extracted to the following directory:
/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftMMHM
Unfortunately this copy of Order and Chaos will start in non-English mode, you can change this simply by tapping the bottom right button which will open the "Settings" menu. From there, select the bottom option and tap the American flag.
Congratulations! You now have a working copy of Order and Chaos on your Galaxy Note.
I have created a forum thread on the gameloft forums pointing out that this is a major inconvenience and such complex work-arounds should not be necessary to use a game which works perfectly on a device of my choosing for a game I have a license for.
http://forum.gameloft.com/index.php/topic,43433.0.html
Hopefully this helps some of you folks trying to get this working!
Note: The same strategy as outlined above should still work and is reported to work but I have stopped bothering with this game. If a developer can't be bothered to implement a simple fix like this, in an MMORPG no less, they don't deserve my hard earned money. Also, if you can't manage to find the files using Google, keep looking! They're literally insanely easy to find if you just look for the filenames - use your noggin' - don't expect xda-developers to do *everything* for you
Good job!
Developers need to stop this nonsense.
O M G!
It works like a charm... : O Thank you very much for this, have been searching soo much for just THIS
Sweet Jesus im playin, bye
No problem! Yeah I was searching for this like crazy so decided to just bite the bullet and try various things until something worked!
Thanks! Been constantly searching since I got my Note on how to get this game to work. It's unfortunate that "piracy" is the only way to play it for now but hopefully gameloft opens their eyes and makes the proper changes. Like you, I also own two copies on my Android device and also own a copy for my now sold iPhone 4. I have paid for subscription and have not been able to play it since my note doesn't support it. Again thank you for your efforts and I'll see you online hehehe
Hi,
I have copied the rar contents to the correct path (I am sure because when I uninstall app, this folder is deleted)
but still I get the "your device is not compatible" error when I launch the game.
What is it that I am doing wrong ?

Try To delete the whole Gameloft Folder on your internal SD Card. Helped me so far
where is that Gameloft folder ?

If you connect your Phone (With USB Debugging activated) On the Internal SD (where you have the android Folder, the exernal_Sd Folder etc.)
And there you should have a gameloft folder and you should delete the whole folder: )
there's just one gameloft folder on my Note:
\Android\data\com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftMMHM
what else can I do ?
I'd appreciate any help..

So you Delete This Folder and then you go back to the SD Root and search for a Gameloft Folder (Right where Android is)
\Gameloft\
If you have it... delete it.. if you dont have. Delete the other Folder, Restart Phone, Plugin Usb and copy the Data THEN
If its not working delete it again, Restart Phone, Copy Data back to phone and download the apk from the side where you downloaded the Files and Start the apk yourself then...
Hope it works out for you
Greets
Thanks!!
Thanks a million for the info Chris! Works like a charm
The way I got it working was....when I had my GS2 I backed it up with Titanium Backup and then restore it on Note...works flawless...since it won't appear on Market with Note.
Hi,
Thanks for getting us this amazing game!
I got both the required files and placed in the right path.
Been trying all the delete/restart/load and still can't get it to work on my Note...
Anything else need to be check?
-cheers
no matter what I do, my Note connects to internet and checks for files. Then the game says my device is not compatible.
any suggestions ?

any idea guys ?
i can buy pay time from market with that method?? , tx
I assume you guys are extracting the RAR file and placing the files in the path specified, right? If so, try downloading the files to see what the directory name created is, then replace the files in that folder with the files you downloaded in the RAR file and relaunch the game.
As for buying game time - no sadly that doesn't work but I'm afraid this was the best I could find and since I already had a month or so left it hasn't been a problem for me (yet.)

[Q] best way to get free books

i booted off a class 10 memory card and and haveing issues with wifi now is that just because of the card or can i do something so i dont have to by a new one, aloso im not exatly happy with the OS i wrote
genric-sdcard-v.1.3.0-large.img with what should i put on the sdcard after that update-cm.1.3.0-encore? or something else that would make it ezer tio read pdf files baceause that is another problem (reading downloaded books) and the final and most important problem it when i take out the sdcard it wont reboot to the nook os it just goes to the grey n screen......long story short i just want to download free books on my nook i know how to write and get the os to show up i just want to know the programs and were to get them pleases help
To answer the question that is in the headline:
You need to install a reading app that can handle the format you want to read. If you have your Android environment running you downlad the app and install it. Apps can be downloaded from Google or sideloaded if you find the apk somewhere else (tere are plenty of reading apps in Google Play store, so no need to go looking elsewhere in my opinion).
As for the rest, it sounds to me like you haven't done all steps of the sd-card install. What OS did you put there? CM7? Hard to tell by your post. Could you maybe clarify what you've actually done, not just with the card but with the device. Do that in post with a more appropriate headline if you want to ask for guidance.
Before thaat, read the first post in this topic and make sure you've actually done the steps necessary to get an OS running from sd-card (if that is what you want to do):

I tell you what. If you'll spend at least as much time formulating and formatting your question(s) with enough information (and punctuation) to allow them to be answered, you'll get a lot of help. Questions that sound like "it's broke, please fix it" won't get far.
