Hi!

I've been playing Oracle of Ages in Goomba Color 12-14-2014 on my Ez-Flash Omega and its save file is in .esv format, but if I want to play in my computer, VBA only seems to accept .sav file formats...
I'm sure this has been asked before, but sadly, googling about .esv mostly returns results about Pokémon editing and bible passages...... Weird!

Is there a tool to convert them? I've tried unzipping the .esv file but no dice. :(

I'll upload the save maybe you want to take a look at it.

Pocket Sav Organizer, although I recall someone making a GUI to do it as well. But like it shows, you grab pso, extract it, put the .esv (which is an Emulator SaVe) in the folder with it, and run:

Code:
pso -d foo.esv
deheader <whatever it gives you>_sram.gbs foo.sav

I think the other *_raw_sram*.gbs is the other copy of the SRAM used for instant saving in Goomba/Goomba Color, but then I'm not sure why it looks more out of date. You can try fiddling with it too as a save, but I'm not even sure if it'll work.
