How to inject gba .sav save file into gba vc
Disclaimer : You need to patch pokemons roms and roms hacks with that https://filetrip.net/3ds-downloads/...ix-pack-for-pokemon-gba-games-1-0-f33538.html
Backstory : I had a lot of problems finding clear solution for this problem (wanting to continue my FF6 advance started on
), so now that I have the solution i think it's a good idea to post it.
This tutorial is for people that s tarted to play a gba game on emulator, on or pc or whatever else, and want to continue to play on 3ds, without losing the progression
This work with official vc title as well as injected title with this : https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ultimate-gba-vc-injector-for-3ds.438057/
This tutorial is made for luma cfw : https://3ds.guide/
You need decrypt9 for this (installed as payload, and with a key associated with it, so that you can boot into it directly) : https://gbatemp.net/threads/download-decrypt9-open-source-decryption-tools-wip.388831/
How to associate a key to a payload : https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Other-features-and-notes
You need to install this homebrew (maybe this will work without it by just powering off and then powering on but not sure) : https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-quick-reboot-cfw-gateway-ninjhax.379101/
While the 3ds is powered off
-First you just take the .sav file that should be in the same directory as your rom .gba
-Rename it gbavc.sav
-Put it in your 3ds sd card /files9
Power on the 3ds
-Lauch your gba game installed on the 3ds then close it
-Quick reboot while holding the key you assigned to decrypt9 using the homebrew "quick reboot"
In decrypt9
-Go to synandoption -> miscellaneous -> gba save import
-follow the very simple instructions, press start to reboot and lauch your gba game to see if it worked
Then just play your game
Tested works on luma 7.0.4 O3ds 11.4 eu with ff6 advance
