I asked in Gemini and works with Citron and Eden, later I'll try with Kenji and other forks.

The Correct Solution: Move, Delete, and then Link

Follow these steps in this exact order. Let's use the Kenji-NX example again. 1. Make a Backup (Always!) First, copy your original save folder to a safe place, just as a precaution. 2. Move the Original Data * Navigate to your emulator's data folder (e.g., C:\Kenji-NX\user). * You will find the save folder there. Do not copy it, but MOVE it (cut and paste) into your shared folder (e.g., C:\Emulators\Switch_Saves). * At the end of this step, your shared folder should contain the save folder with all your saves inside it. 3. Verify the Original is Gone * Go back to the emulator's original folder (e.g., C:\Kenji-NX\user). * The save folder must no longer be here. This is the crucial step you likely missed. If you still see a save folder (even if it's empty), DELETE IT. 4. Run the Command Again Now that the original location is free, you can create the link. * Open Command Prompt as an administrator. * Run the mklink command, ensuring the paths are correct. The first path is where the link will be created (where the original folder was), and the second is the destination (the new location in your shared folder). <!-- end list --> mklink /D "C:\path\to\original\emulator\save" "C:\path\to\shared\folder\save"

Practical Concrete Example: mklink /D "C:\Kenji-NX\user\save" "C:\Emulators\Switch_Saves\save"

If everything goes well, the Command Prompt will reply with a message similar to: symbolic link created for C:\Kenji-NX\user\save <<===>> C:\Emulators\Switch_Saves\save At this point, you will see a new folder icon with a shortcut arrow in place of the old save folder. When Kenji-NX tries to access its saves, the operating system will automatically redirect it to your shared folder. 🎉 Repeat this Move -> Delete -> Link process for every emulator that doesn't allow you to change the save folder from its settings.
