Cloud Saves for Retro Games
Keep long campaigns, ROM hacks, and challenge runs out of one fragile local folder. Your saves stay beside the game in Rebit.
Why Rebit
The good parts of retro play, kept close.
Your games, your saves, and the controls you actually use—without rebuilding the same setup on every screen.
The save follows the library
Do not leave a forty-hour RPG trapped in one emulator folder on one machine.
Use two kinds of safety
Keep the normal in-game save, then add a state before bosses, patches, and experiments.
Cleaner cross-device play
Launch from the browser and keep the save workflow closer to your library, not scattered across emulator installs.
How It Helps
Spend the session playing.
Pick a game, get to the title screen, and know your progress will still be there next time.
- Use normal in-game saves for the progress the original game expects.
- Create manual save states before bosses, dungeons, hard jumps, experiments, or ROM hack version changes.
- Treat autosave as a backup layer, not your only copy of important progress.
- Test the first save early before committing to a long campaign.
- Use Rebit when you want your private library and save workflow attached to an account instead of a single machine.
Upload a game you own
Add a legally owned game file to your private Rebit library and confirm the detected system before launch.
Make the first in-game save
Reach the first normal save point, save inside the game, then reload once to confirm progress behaves correctly.
Create a manual state
Use a save state before risky sections so you have a clean recovery point if a session goes wrong.
Return from your account
Come back through your Rebit library instead of rebuilding emulator folders and hunting for local save files.
Comparison
Less file juggling. More game time.
You can run everything by hand. Rebit simply keeps the library work out of the way once the game starts.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The things worth knowing before you press Play.
What is the difference between an in-game save and a save state? +
An in-game save is the progress file the original game expects. A save state is an emulator-level snapshot of the exact moment you created it.
Should I use save states instead of normal saves? +
No. For long games, use both. Keep in-game saves as your main progress and use save states as backup before risky sections.
Are cloud saves useful for ROM hacks? +
Yes, especially when a hack is long, difficult, or still changing. Test the first save early and keep backup states before major progress points.
Does Rebit provide ROM files? +
No. Rebit is for legally owned game files that you upload and manage yourself.
Stop losing retro game progress
Test the first in-game save, add a state before the risky part, and keep both close to the game.
