You will still need a flashcart. Almost any flashcart will do. (The DSi and 3DS are a little more picky.)All I have is a DS Lite.
You realize I included a link there that you can click on, right..?And the other thing you said?
The model before the Lite, with model number NTR-001What is a DS Phat?
Those things you can run DS game backups and homebrew off; since 2007 this pretty much means (and for this purpose has to be) an active device that fits into slot-1, like an original DS game, and takes a microSD containing a "kernel" and DS programsWhat is ... a flashcart?
In short: do what it says for "normal carts", except do not press R twice - that will backup the save to the microSD instead of the rom; you then figure out where it's stored (should be inside a folder in the root of the card), add the save you want to program (which must be a raw uncompressed "battery" save), then you open the Rudolph's GBA Backup Tool another time, press R 1 time, and follow the onscreen instructions for writing the save to slot-2
What do you mean? You've already said that you don't have a Gamecube or a Wii, so clearly the method that uses what you have is the "best way".Which one of those methods is the best way to do it?
What have you tried so far? I expect all you have to do is find the save file on your flashcart's SD card, and copy it over the save file used by No$GBA. If that doesn't work, then check if No$GBA has a special option for importing save data.I have to convert the save files from the R4 to the same emulator I am using which is a No$GBA. The thing is that I have no idea how to perform that procedure.

But these aren't "saves from R4". These are saves created by a backup tool that read the data from your GBA cart. Whatever site you are looking at is probably concerned with save data created when a DS game is run from an R4.Well, I heard of the site that converts saves from R4 visa versa emulator.
I don't understand what you're expecting here.For example, I am doing DKC2 as a test. When I converted the save file, it shows RAREDKC2B2DE00.sav.
I apologize for asking too many questions. I'm autistic. That's why it takes me a while to understand certain things clearly. So, you're saying that the save files that I backed up from the GBA cartridge to the R4 isn't from the R4 itself but from the GBA Backup Tool on the R4, correct? I'm just trying to bring my save files from the GBA cartridge to the Emulator, do exclusive things on there (like e -reader content for games that has the compatibility), and bring them back to the cartridges.
Okay: you have an SD card that you were using in your R4. The SD card has a file on it. No$GBA is on your PC and also uses files. What exactly isn't clear?I'm just trying to bring my save files from the GBA cartridge to the Emulator, do exclusive things on there (like e -reader content for games that has the compatibility), and bring them back to the cartridges.
He already mentioned No$GBA.send me the saves and I'll try to get them working. which emulator?
Yes. Yes, you need cartridge ROMs in order to use an emulator. I ... really don't understand how you could think otherwise. That's what emulators do.I have the No$GBA emulator but no GBA roms.
We seem to have some confusion in terminology here. Your R4 has an SD card inside it. The GBA Backup Tool program is on the SD card. You can use the GBA Backup Tool to transfer save data from a GBA cartridge to the SD card. You can also use the GBA Backup Tool to transfer ROMs from a GBA cartridge to the SD card. So I don't know what you mean when you "have the actual cartridges with the save files on them on the R4".I have the actual cartridges with the save files on them on the R4.
You will need to backup both the ROM and the Save.By default, GBA Backup Tool is in Save Backup mode. Press R twice to go to rom backup mode.
