Title of this thread says it all. Can't seem to find the answer towards this, so I decided to ask on the forums of GBAtemp. I know that the DSTWO PLUS is capable of reading .sav files from Game Boy Advance ROMs that were created with VBA-M (GBA Emulator); but I don't know if this also works with Nintendo DS ROMs. Need to know since my copy is almost shipping in and I have some .sav files on my PC.

Using a hex-editor, open the .dsv, go to the end, and delete everything starting from
Code:
|<--Snip above here to create a raw sav by excluding this DeSmuME savedata footer
to the end of the file, and save it as .sav.

Thanks for your guys' replies, but will it matter if I'm using a modified DeSmuMe release build? Only difference I find between the original and modified releases is that the modified release of DeSmuMe renders DS ROMs in high resolution, (version X432R).

Either way, I'll try both solutions out when it comes in.

    @stanleyopar2000 contact link at the bottom of the page. As someone not an admin, but working with GDPR, what is the problem about
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    (As the GDPR mostly concerns storing personal information and it's handlingthe usual solution is deletion of the said account and all the personal data. If said person wants to get posts wiped, then (unless personal data that can be used in identification is revealed) nonissua whereas GDPR is concerned. Tough luck, what appears in the interwebz stays on the interwebz.
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Content in threads fall into what's called "collaborative creation" and there are no European copyright laws (GDPR does definitely not apply, except in circumstances above) that give someone right to ask deletion of his/hers/its earlier postings. Administrators can do that, if they are nice anough and are asked nicely enough. You cant make demands.
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    (Not a lawyer, but had to study copyright laws under my curriculum and have to be sure the certain
    things I administer are GDPR compliant)
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Or just delete your account if you don't want anymore of your data on here

    Does GBATemp have the usual "This website uses cookies" blurb popup?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    It has the do not show again option which usually works
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You can either accept or reject cookies.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Most websites usually has cookies.
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Then really only other thing I can imagine is that "Deleted User XXXXXX" still shows the sig with personal website/gamer profile or whatever, but I'd think sigs are disabled anyway for deleted users
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Couple of ones I do run don't have the blurb, as we only run domain local cookies for keeping login data etc. (no google or whatever) and those are legal under GDPR without any extra notification.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I assume they just have whatever cloudflare has
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @lwiz, When accounts get banned, email address and everything else is still logged, but not for deleted users (except for their profile picture and banner if they have one.)
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    ^this might be an issue, although keeping the details for preventing further misuse probably falls in to the fair use clauses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Temps been around since 2002 I'm sure they know what they're doing lol
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Yeah. Of course wherever the site is located GDPR brought in further complications concerning the personal data of EU citizens
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    An entire data wipe just for one user sounds silly on any website
