Can you transfer a US Pokemon Diamond/Pearl save file to a JP game on a flashcart?

To get Japan exclusive event Pokemon.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can. Just name the .sav file the same as the JP ROM.

Doing this causes the flashcart to completely freeze when attempting to start the game. Upon inspection the renamed save file is wiped with 0 bytes of data. Do you know if there are any JP save files i can download to check?

That's strange. idk how or why it's even doing that.
Try installing TWiLight Menu++ on your flashcard to work around the wiping issue: https://wiki.ds-homebrew.com/twilightmenu/installing-flashcard

I'm using a clone card with Ysmenu.

With it installed, you can use YSMenu to boot the games instead of nds-bootstrap (the latter of which is set by default, and should not cause the save wiping issue).

Thanks everything works now.
