.SKY File Extension

Skylanders is a series of adventure video games that is paired with an accompanying toy line. To play as new characters in Skylanders, players place a toy representing that character on the Skylanders Portal (aka Portal of Power), a peripheral device connected to their gaming console or PC.

Players playing Skylanders in a video game console emulator may not own or be able to use a Skylanders Portal. For this reason, some emulators, including RPCS3 and Dolphin, include built-in systems that emulate the Portal. RPCS3 was the first emulator to include this built-in version of the Skylanders Portal; it supports creating and loading Skylanders saved as SKY files.

When a Skylander saved as a SKY file levels up or collects coins, that progress is saved to the SKY file. This allows players to load their leveled-up Skylanders while playing different games in different emulators.

You can load a SKY file while playing a Skylanders video game in RPCS3 or Dolphin. In RPCS3, select Manage → Skylanders Portal to access the portal-related menu and load your SKY file. In Dolphin, select Tools → Emulated USB Devices → Skylanders Portal to access the portal-related menu and load your SKY file.
