I've got the 1.18 version of the patch, and after dropping in the sav file I'm still getting a data abort error on the initial save. Using Twilight Menu with nds-bootstrap 1.4.3
Edit: Also tried this on No$gba after converting save, emulator crashes on loading the save.
Bottom screw got stripped, I do have a tri screwdriver set, I have tried the super glue and the rubber band method. I don't believe drilling is an option for this. Any advice?
