Note that you should delete unnecessary stuff that may reside in your savefile (like contents of browser caches, normally in /root) before saving to ydrv/adrv because the ydrv/adrv is read-only and you can't just delete stuff from it. You will need to edit and repack it if you want to remove something from it later on.

Thanks, nic.

I've decided to also implement the ydrv in the process. See first post for details and attached zip file.

Cleaned up some code and made a few adjustments. This should be the final product and replaces the previous. Added to first post.

Hello,
i tested the script under bionicpup64.8.0 and it work like a charm , great thanks.

Maybe the script should rename the savefile after it create the adrv/zdrv ?

The new ydrv/adrv replaces the savefile which should be deleted. The suggestion to rename the old savefile is merely a temporarily and safety measure. Renaming it wil ensure that it is not loaded with the new ydrv/adrv and you delete it after you are happy with the new ydrv/adrv. Same method is suggested with regards to replacing old ydrv/adrv's.

Changed the selection process. You choose from a dropdown box to make either a ydrv or adrv, instead of making a selection with the Yes or No buttons as previously. This makes more sense and is less confusing. There's also a Cancel button now. Uploaded to opening post, replacing the previous.

Maybe i'am out of the topic here , but i'am little lost with how sfs works !
Now with your script it's awesome to be able to create my adrv on the fly with all my modifications .
Now i want to load multiple sfs files at boot ? i really don't know how to do ?

What affect on RAM usage does this setup have?
If everything is going to be in adrv, ydrv, zdrv, etc......
Those all get loaded into RAM.
A normal save file/folder just gets loaded into the working file system.
Becomes the location to read and write changes.
