How to import GBA .sav file.

Nezha · Jun 28, 2022

Hello. I exported a GBA save file from a romhack that's currently in my 3DS as a CIA. I fiddled with it using a cheat that I couldn't use on the 3DS itself and am attempting to put the save file back in. The save file appears as a bin file in godmode despite being dumped out as a .sav. Attempting to put it back where I found it, however, results in an error and the save file I'm importing is not a .bin, should this matter.

How do I go about putting a .save for a GBA ROM back into the 3DS?

EDIT: The error is 'Failed copying path: gbavc.sav'.

EDIT2: Further research has been done and I found out how. Sorry for the silly question.

You can do it just with godmode9 the same as you did the backup you inject in the agbsave.bin, maybe you are wrong thinking the save is a binay file, maybe you dumped to your sd the agbsave.bin, for backup or inject gba games, you must open the game, turn off the console and you start with godmode9
Back up:
sysnand virtual>agbsave options>dump gba vc save

Inject:
First you must go with godmode9 to the place you have the .sav file, you must copy pressing Y and go the begin and almost the same for back up
sysnand virtual>agbsave options>inject gba vc save
