Greetings to all. I would like to ask a specific question about the save files. I played Sakura Wars using a .cue file format without creating a .m3u file beforehand. After creating it, I launched it and a group of files was created. But since there are two groups of files with the same formats, the question is, how can I rename them so that the emulator can see both disks? Or will it require more than just a name change?

Hello there.
If i understood correctly, you loaded the very same CD image using a .cue, then using a .m3u afterwards, and now you're trying to access the saves you created when it was a .cue, right?
I'm gonna guess that only the 3 files starting with "Sakura Wars" are the ones that Mednaf created when it was a .cue, can you please confirm?

Files which are named "Sakura Wars" are the ones which are created after launching game through .m3u file.
I finished the first disc, but now need to transfer saves from this disc to disc 2.
I see.
Then your current progression should actually be included in "SAKURA_CD1.xxxxxxx.bkr", assuming you finished disc 1 at the time where you were using a .cue to play the game.
.bkr files include raw save RAM data, and luckily, nothing else.
1) Copy all files to a save place, just in case.
2) Delete everything except:
- "Sakura Wars.xxxxxxx.bcr"
- "Sakura Wars.xxxxxxx.smpc"
- "SAKURA_CD1.xxxxxxx.bkr"
3) Rename "SAKURA_CD1.xxxxxxx.bkr" to "Sakura Wars.xxxxxxx.bkr", just be sure that "xxxxxxx" matches exactly what's in the "Sakura Wars.xxxxxxx.bcr" and "Sakura Wars.xxxxxxx.smpc" file names.
Let us know how that went.
Cheers =]
Thanks for the advice, but such way can't transfer save files. I've done similar way before but by launching the emulator I saw that save files are in place, but it is Disc 1. Such picture should also be on Disc 2, where I can use the last save.
Hmm...
Out of curiosity, is the problem also present when using .cue files instead?
I can only load save files on Disc 1.

1. In the Mednafen program directory, open mednafen.cfg in Notepad or your preferred text editor.
2. Do a search (CTRL+F) for filesys.fname_sav
3. Change the line to filesys.fname_sav %f.%x
4. Rename the cue file for disc 2 to SAKURA_CD2.cue
5. Extract the attached file using 7-Zip or your preferred file archiver.
6. Place SAKURA_CD2.bkr in the Mednafen saves folder.
7. Save file can now be loaded from disc 2 🙂
