Game save and ROM backup tools

This cluster comprises utilities for backing up and restoring game save files, working with ROM and cartridge data, and managing console game backups, spanning PC stores, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Wii, and Xbox formats. The dated history shows a thin, irregular pattern of single entries spread across years (2006, 2017–2020, 2023, 2025–2026), with no sustained clustering before the index start. Traction is led by save-editor-toolkit with 150 stars, followed by Machete-PS5-Backup-Manager at 10 stars and Local-Game-Progress-Backup at 8 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
