Saved game lost on GBA emulator for android

For a couple of days I was playing Pokemon ruby version on "my Boy" Gba emulator on android and I progressed very far on that game. But today day as I load the game there it displays a option of new game, my saved game is lost all of a sudden why'd this happen and how could I retrieve the saved game back again. I used the In-game feature to save my progress all this long.

You should take a good look inside your stock file manager, look in the "0sdcard" (the main directory in most devices), look for the folder that says "downloads". Chances are, if you haven't actually done anything in your stock file manager before and you simply downloaded that rom from a site then stared playing it, that the actual ruby save file (.sav) for that ruby rom (usually .zip) are both somewhere mingling in that file folder still.... If you download multiple things but don't touch the file manager, little things (like a rom save file) will be treated as non existing to your emulator (it gets confused).

If you did find both at this point:

Back out of your download folder and create a new folder in you main directory called "EMU ROM". Inside that new folder, create another new folder caller "Ruby". After that, cut and paste both Ruby zip and Ruby save inside EMU ROM's "Ruby" folder. After that, go to My Boy emulator load menu then select "EMU ROM" --> "Ruby" then load your game.

In any case though, I Still Highly Recomend you make a "EMU ROM" folder in your main file manager directory and store each rom zip in it's own labeled folder inside EMU ROM from the start. If you do, you'll never run into the problem of your game save getting lost in a file folder again.

Just to add- if you ever plan on playing any other rom types (like GB/GBC) on a different emulator, after downloading it, inside "EMU ROM" folder make a "GBA" folder for your gba game folders... "GB/GBC" for you gb/gbc game folders... Etc... Etc...

I hope this helps.

Brother, i downloaded the game in my Samsung tablet, I had played for over 12 hours, and suddenly my game was erased, I can’t find it nowhere in the app, so you think I can follow these steps you write in the tablet?
