Rename the .bin file to .sav,
edit it on the PC, and then, rename it to .bin

Okey I did this

grabbed a .sav file from my pc
changed it from fire emblem the binding blade(J).sav to gbavcsave.bin

put the gbavcsave.bin file on the root of my N3ds sdcard
started fire emblem the binding blade
quited fire emblem the binding blade and entered system settings
Quit system settings while holding X so it loads decrypt9
went to SysNAND Option ->Miscellaneous -> GBA VC Save Inject

Injected the new save file ( so the new gbasave.bin)

started fire emblem the binding blade again

aaaaaaaaaaand IT DID NOT WORK :'(

wat did I do wrong XD or do I first have to dump the save file from the cia instead of just using a save file from my pc ?????

and one more thing is it true that I can not inject a 64Kb gbavcsave does it has to be a 32Kb file ??????

Yep, the problem is just the size of the save. Open a hexadecimal editor (like HxD), and erase all the null content at the end (the save file have to end by FF, and have to start with "AGB-FE9")
So, like on the images, erase all the blue content!
Now, the save file should be 32 KB.

So, the save file should end at the offset 00007FFF.

Okey i"m gonna try this right now

So I'll grab a save file that I had from playing on a emulator and then I do the hex thing after that call it gbavcsave.bin !!!!!

Hope this will work =D
