ROM Hack how to make a rom use another roms .SAV file?

[panic14]

i had a shitty pokemon rom the kept freezing, and now i have another pokemon rom (and akio thing) but it wont read the .sav file, it just creates a new one.

how do i make a different rom(same game) use another rom(again, the same game)'s .SAV file

The names have to be exatcly the same, if the rom was called Pokemon soulsilver.nds the sav file has to be exactly the same, Pokemon soulsilver.sav

When you say akio do you mean Acekard's Unofficial firmware, AKAIO?

If so then make sure you have AKAIO 1.6RC2. Then make sure that all your save files are .sav not .SAV or else it'll make a new save. Also that all your saves have the same name as your rom. Mario.nds is associated with Mario.sav.

If you're to lazy to rename every file here's a quick batch file. Place in root directoey on your SD card and double click. It will rename all the nds.sav and .SAV files to .sav on the SD card including those in subdirectories.

If not then I have no idea what akio is...
