Is there any errors that are showing when you converted the nogba save extension back?
the game (Partners in time) just creates a new save file. also is there a tool I can use to convert the save? I am on Linux, but I can try anything through wine.

Also the no$gba save is 1kb while the one twilight menu uses is 512kb. I also tried using the shunny web converter but I do not know what option would work for twilight menu, as I have had no success so far.
As was pointed out in my above post #5, see the example in that other thread's post #18. Change the save settings in NO$GBA.INI. Launch and resave each game to convert their save files from compressed to raw. You may need to do additional tinkering to convert between different save formats with those other mentioned website and program.
what do I change exactly in the ini?

I fount the correct area. But what do I change compressed to?
As will be mentioned for the third time, maybe take a look at the example found in that thread's post #18.
Ok. I tried that, now I am getting a data error in the game.

Did you make backup copies of the SAV files before you tried converting them from compressed to raw?
Also, going from COMPRESSED → RAW might not be enough. You might need to do an additional conversion to what that game's specific save format should be. A particular NDS title's save type can be looked up at:
Your collection of saves, did you make a 2nd set for safe keeping?
In the event converting the saves from,
- COMPRESSED → RAW in NO$GBA
- FORMAT A → FORMAT B with [ shunyweb / NDS Save File Converter ]
Well I got to my latest save point in NO$GBA and my latest backed up version is from my broken 3ds. I am able to use that one just fine, but obviously I want to use my latest save.
Before you start messing with the latest saves for games played on NO$GBA, you should make copies of those files before you edit or convert them. This way, if the data or progress on those worked on save files are junked or turn out wrong, you still those unedited copies to fallback on as a safety net.
Attach a save for a game you wish to convert. I'll walk you through on converting that save as an example. If you upload more than one save, I'll arbitrary choose just one as a demonstration.
Here is a copy of it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x223FA3362V-sUOtc4_cvGRclL0dyNe-/view?usp=sharing

I did also make a backup.
Before I check this save, what region version of Mario & Luigi Partners in Time is this from? USA or EUR?

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
