The quickest and easiest way to find Saved Game files in YuZu is to do the following.
- First, open Yuzu, then select the game that you want to get your save data.
- Next, right-click on the game and select Open Save Data Location.
- This will open the folder that contains all the saved data for the specific game.
- So if you just want to copy the data for this specific game you can now copy and paste the file 3 files to a new location or the exact same location on another device.

- First, open File Explorer on your computer, then navigate to the following location on your computer.
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming
- Here you will see the YuZu folder near the bottom of the list.
- Copy the folder and paste it into the same location on your other device. Just make sure that you have YuZu installed first.
Alternatively, you can open Start and search %appdata% and it will take you to the same location. As we mentioned earlier you do need to be very careful when moving these files between computers because you may accidentally overwrite newer saves with older ones.
I’ve accidentally done this before and it’s not a lot of run having to restart things. Especially in Pokemon games which have a lot of random chance involved.
After you have copied all of the data across you don’t have to do anything else, just launch any of the games and the data will be there ready to use. It’s as simple as that. Happy gaming and don’t forget to check out our YouTube channel!
