Regarding savesHey guys, I just got the GW. So I'm asking some questions to clear things up
1 : I read the manual that you can back up save game from a retail card. If so, can I use its save for the rom of the same game (Pokemon) ? and how if possible.
2 : I've been planning to buy a Powersave, but I heard it only works with retail card? Is this true or it can work with GW as well?
Please help, thanks.
As for powersaves, it will only work with retail carts, also even.if you had newer games (like Pokemon) and played them in gateway classic mode.....it also will not work with power saves as gateway uses different save encryption than a retail console on games released with the 6.x fwits all pretty complicated
first thing first, if the game uses 6.x encryption(pretty much all games released with 6.x+ on cart) and was played on a retail console.......no, there is no way to use that save....but if the game uses 6.x save encryption and was played in classic mode you can go to step 2
secondly the save will only work if its either a nand saving game i.e pokemon or animal crossing or the save is 512kb when dumped, if its smaller than 512kb it will not be usable
and finally if you pass both them barriers you will need to dump the cart the save is coming from and rename it to (game name).3dz, it will not work unless you have a dump from the exact cart the save came from and rename it to .3dz
