Скачать или смотреть RetroArch IPad OS and iOS cloud save via iCloud folder and automation shortcut for Apple users

Set up an automation shortcut on your iPhone, iPad, MacOS to save RetroArch save states using your iCloud account. Works for Apple devices.

Automatically run a shortcut that reads / writes data to a desired iCloud folder every time you launch / close RetroArch. Enabling you to pick up where you left off on any device. Works without being on the same wifi.

Props to Reddit user Voxx3010 who came up with this writeup (tweaked a bit by me):

Setup:

Create a new folder in iCloud, name it something like RetroArch saves.
Go into RetroArch, to the settings tab, and at the bottom there should be an option for 'Directory'.
Under 'Save Files' and 'Save States" set them to your new iCloud folder.

iPhone/iPad /MacOS setup - Importing:

Go to shortcuts (apple app) and create a Shortcut with the "+plus" on the top right. Name it something like "RA Save Import."
Start by using the search at the bottom and type "get contents of folder", tap on Folder and hit the back button till you get to the Browse screen and tap on iCloud Drive and select your new folder
-Now shortcuts is importing the data but we need to save it, using the search at the bottom and type "save file"
It should automatically say "Save Contents of Folder
Hit the arrow on the Save Line and TAP BOTH BUBBLES 'Ask Where To Save' AND 'Overwrite If File Exists' (if you don't tap both the below option will not show up).
Now it should say "Save [Contents of Folder] to [Shortcuts], tap on [Shortcuts], tap back until you are at the browse screen again
Tap on 'On My iPhone' and tap the RetroArch folder, tap the next RetroArch folder, and tap 'saves' and on the top right hit Open.
-Back out of the shortcut you created and at the bottom of the Shortcuts App tap 'Automation' (at the bottom)
Hit the + and search "app", tap on the app option with the diagonal arrow and tap 'Choose', pick RetroArch, and tap 'Run Immediately'

The shortcut is now finding the data in the iCloud folder and saving it to the local RetroArch's save folder. All data is now being imported and overwriting the data on device every time RetroArch is opened.

iPhone/iPad setup - Exporting

Go to shortcuts and create a Shortcut with the plus on the top right. Name it something like "RA Save Export."
Start by using the search at the bottom and type "get contents of folder", tap on Folder and hit the back button till you get to the Browse screen and tap on 'On My iPhone' and tap the RetroArch folder, tap the next RetroArch folder, and tap 'saves' and on the top right hit Open.
Using the search at the bottom and type "save file" and add it
It should automatically say "Save Contents of Folder
Hit the arrow on the Save Line and tap 'Ask Where To Save' and 'Overwrite If File Exists'
Now it should say "Save [Contents of Folder] to [Shortcuts], tap on [Shortcuts], tap back until you are at the browse screen again, tap on iCloud Drive, the folder you created and on the top right hit Open.
Tap on 'On My iPhone' and tap the RetroArch folder, tap the next RetroArch folder, and tap 'saves' and on the top right hit Open.
Back out of the shortcut you created and at the bottom of the Shortcuts App tap 'Automation'
This is different. Hit the + and search "app", tap on the app option, tap 'Choose', pick RetroArch, tap 'Is Closed', and tap 'Run Immediately'

The shortcut is now taking the data in the local RetroArch's save folder and saving it to the iCloud folder you made. All data is now being exported and overwriting the data on iCloud every time RetroArch is closed.
