Games saving NVRAM files not in it's own folder
#316437 - 10/27/13 09:19 AM


How come some games save their NVRAM files directly in the NVRAM directory instead of how most games save it in their own folder NVRAM/Game's Name.

For example, the game Exvania, does not save it's NVRAM file in NVRAM/exvania directory. Rather, it saves it out in the open in the NVRAM directory.

Because the drivers for those games use a legacy (pre-C++) NVRAM handler instead of an NVRAM device.
