Backup Settings in GBA

manic23 · 08 July 2008, 22:35

Id like to ask a question if i may. I would like to know how to backup setting in GBA, i have 1.6 configured just the way i like it and if i ever need to reinstall Windows, i would like to be able to restore all my settings ie. paths, favourite games, windows sizes etc. Is this possible, if so, what files to i need to backup. Thanks in advance... manic23

You can't backup the favourites unfortunately, as for windows sizes and other settings, just backup the .uae files and all the .ini files in the GameBase Amiga directory.

Just in case anyone else is trying to do this, i have half managed it. If you open the toolbox app in the main GameBase folder and backup all the files that are listed there, this does backup most settings, it backs up paths and favorites, but not the window or GB options. Better that nothing though.
