## Syncing Game Saves Across Systems
By using [Syncthing](../syncthing.md) game saves can be synchronized.
First set up Syncthing as described in the
[Syncthing entry](../syncthing.md#setup).
If a system with only user access - like the [Steam Deck](./steam_deck.md) - is used the
[user space configuration](../syncthing.md#user-space-configuration-for-linux)
is recommended.
Afterwards move the game saves to the directory set up by Syncthing and create
[symbolic links](/wiki/linux/shell.md#symbolic-links-using-ln) to link them back to the original
place.
For games on [Steam](/wiki/games/steam.md) it is possible that they are automatically synchronized
by [Steam Cloud](/wiki/games/steam.md#steam-cloud-and-game-synchronization).
## Speedrunning
Speedrunning is the process of trying to finish a video game in shortest amount of time.
A very popular site to compare speedruns is [speedrun.com](https://www.speedrun.com/).
While speedrunning a split tracker is used that keeps track of the time and the times of each
section of the game.
The following is a list of possible split trackers to use.
- [LiveSplit](http://livesplit.org/) is a popular split tracker available for
[Windows](/wiki/windows.md) systems.
- [LiveSplit One](https://one.livesplit.org/) is a web-based version of LiveSplit.
- [urn](https://github.com/3snowp7im/urn) is a split tracker for [Linux](/wiki/linux.md) based
systems.
To set up a split tracker for a specific game usually split files are used.
The format needed varies from split tracker to split tracker.
Split files in most formats and for many games can be found on [splits.io](https://splits.io/).
