Take a look at the [PC Gaming Wiki](https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/).\n\nLooking for more functionality? Check out [ludusavi](https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi).\n\n## Releases\n\nThe latest release can be found [here](https://github.com/defuncart/game_saves_backup/releases/latest). \n\nIn desktop mode, the application can be added to Steam Launcher as a Non-Steam game via content menu, Lutris or Heroic.\n\n### Building from Source\n\nIf you wish to build from source, you will require Flutter \u0026 Dart versions as specified in [pubspec.yaml](pubspec.yaml) and native linux dependencies such as clang and ninja-build. See [CD pipeline](.github/workflows/cd_main.yml) for more info.\n\nThe application has not been tested on windows, however it *should™* theoretically work. To generate relevant flutter project files, firstly run `fvm flutter create . --platforms=macos,windows`.\n\n## Motivation\n\nI've encountered some issues in which saves for a particular game via emulation are corrupted, or when upgrading proton version for a Heroic prefix, the save data is lost. The goal of this project is to provide a easy way to backup your most important game saves easily. As this is a personal project, currently there is no roadmap, however new features may be developed when deemed required.\n\n## Notes\n\n- The backup items database is stored at `/home/deck/Documents/game_saves_backup`. Do not delete any files in this folder.\n\n## Known Issues\n\n- On Steam Deck Desktop Mode, 'open' game save folder does not work\n- On Steam Deck Desktop Mode, back up folder opens to `/home/deck`, even though real path is saved (i.e. `/home/deck/desktop`).\n\n## Raising Issues and Contributing\n\nPlease report bugs and issues [here](https://github.com/defuncart/game_saves_backup/issues).\n\nTo contribute, submit a PR with a detailed description and tests, if applicable.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdefuncart%2Fgame_saves_backup","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdefuncart%2Fgame_saves_backup","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdefuncart%2Fgame_saves_backup/lists"}
