Save File Recovery
After the recent RGR Plugin update, we made it so save files are stored on your computer rather than on the server (to reduce server strain, disk space and bandwidth). For those who may have lost a save file recently because of that or for another reason, you can still recover your old save files (note that any save files created after the date of this post will not be recoverable from the save file manager). Here's how:

1. Go to the save file manager page:
http://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/savefiles.php

2. Find the save files you want to recover and click the link to download it.

3. On your computer, go to Start Menu > All Programs > Vizzed Retro Game Room > Open Plugin Data Folder.

4. You'll want to place your downloaded save file into the folder that the RGR Plugin loads the save files from; here's where to place them for each system:
N64 using 1964: 1964 > Save
NES & FDS: FCEUX > sav
GBA & GBC & GB: VBA > Saves
Genesis & 32X: Gens > Saves
SNES: ZSNES > Saves
TG & AL & NGP & NGPC & WS & WSC & SGFX: Mednafen > sav

5. Make sure to keep the original save file name, don't rename it. If there's a save file already in there with the same name, you'll have to replace but make sure that the save file you're replacing it with is your most recent save file.



Additional N64 Plugins
You can now choose which video plugin to play your N64 games with. Some games play better depending on which N64 emulator it's being played in (1964 or Mupen64Plus) or depending on which video plugin you play it with. Different computers and video cards also makes a difference so in some cases, you'll want to play around with it.

To play a certain game with a different video plugin, go to play an N64 game using one of the N64 emulators. On the play window, at the very top right you'll see links, clicking them will reload the game using the selected video plugin. Eventually I'll have the RGR staff go through and figure out which game plays best with which n64 emulator and video plugin.



If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know in this thread. (last edited by tRIUNE on 05-01-12 02:13 AM)

Just a bit of confusion here. So for new files, the data will be stored on our computer. But for a save file from a while ago, do i have to download that from the link in order for my game to appear on the site since the files are no longer hosted on the site? If so, is the save file manager going to be deleted eventually as well/is there a time limit to download those files from the link you provided? I think that's all the questions I have. Thanks for these updates! Working N64 games for all should bring in a lot of traffic!

So I am using safari on a Mac. When I go to the new save file page there is only text with the instructions on how to get your save file. There is no link connected to "Your Save RGR Plugin Save Files" or saved files to retrieve.  Needless to say I cannot find or use my save file from here.  is it due to using safari/ Mac or a problem on vizzed's end? Thanks in advance.

angrycape : I think the save file manager only works with Firefox, that could be why it's mot showing up.

Davideo7 : I followed everything you said and it works thanks a lot! But i have a problem. When i tried to fix my Fire Emblem - Fuuin no Tsurugi (English translation) I found many files and copies of the game and didn't know which to pick. I tired them all but they weren't the right ones. After I found out that my progress was gone i started a new play through and got  up to ch 5 but  when i tried to fix it so it could go back to my old play through  (which was in ch12)  it went to ch5 of my last play through, and when i tried to fix that, all the progress was deleted and i was back in the beginning. This didn't happen to all my other games.I don't know what to do Please help me.

danielbelitch : After last week, all save files store to your computer only. Before that, save files stored on both the server and your computer. The only reason you'd have to do this is if you lost a save file or if you're using a different computer than you were before. The save files on the server will probably be available for at least a month.

icrazy : I'm referencing to the plugin that released about a week ago.

angrycape : The plugin doesn't work for a Mac anyway so this doesn't apply to you.

Shadow Gamer : I'm not really sure why that happened, sorry I can't help

Is there a way to change the controls on the Mugen64 emulator? The menu just won't pop up.

 I've tried what you said: I opened the page, I clicked the links (I'm using Google Chrome so a pop up came with the links) I've putted them into VBA saves but it doesn't work? Also, there must have something I've done wrong because the main links became adobe reader files (back-up files are still normal) please help!

Are the Java saves still saved on the server? Or do those save on your PC as well?

tRIUNE : Java saves still save to the server and actually they don't save to the vizzed.com server, they save to the vizzed.co server.

Glad that I finally have access to my save files again, but for some reason when I play games that are VBA files now the sound is weird and I only get this like percussion thing, no other sound coming through. I only noticed this after I had gotten my save files today.

When I click "Open plugin data folder" a little error box pops up and says "the feature you are trying to use is unavailable." It then allows me to try and find the file that it cannot find itself, named "VizzedRgrPlugin-v1.63.msi". I am not sure where this file is; could you direct me to it?

Flists : Here's what you'll do, when you downloaded the Plugin installer, it saved to a folder on your PC, so on the bottom of that box that is giving that message there's a bar for entering the path that goes to the folder which the Plugin installer is saved in.

For example, for my PC the path was

C:\Documents and Settings\"my windows account name"\My Documents\Downloads\

once you've entered the correct path, click OK. Then it's going to configure something (I don't know since I didn't write the code) and it will ask you to restart your system for the configuration changes to take effect. After restarting you will be able to open the Plugin Data Folder.

IDOJ : Summoning you here since you're having the same problem in another thread.
