Hacking Can't get save game to work on EZ Flash Omega

[kleingeld]

Hi I am trying to get my Zelda The Minish Cap save game from my RetroPie to my EZ Flash Omega. It's in SRM format. I tried all of the following, every time it results in Zelda not showing any saved games:

• Use gbaconv to convert SRM to SAV
  
  
• Rename .srm to .sav
  
  
• Just copy over the .sav file

The SAV / SRM file has exactly the same name as the rom. It is in the SAVER folder. Creating a new game on the EZ Flash, saving and restarting let's me reload that save, so it's not like generally broken.

Any help?

I found a workaround, not great, but it works:

• Get visualboyadvanace-m (I am on a Mac)
  
  
• Rename .srm to .sav
  
  
• Start the rom
  
  
• Click File -> Import -> Battery file and choose the .sav, confirming the warning
  
  
• Click Emulation -> Restart and check if your save game loads (if not, sorry I'm lost)
  
  
• This step might not be necessary, but I did it to be sure: save in game
  
  
• Click File -> Export -> Battery file and save as .sav
  
  
• Copy the new .sav file to the SAVER directory of EZ Flash
  
  
• Make sure the .sav has the exact same file name as your rom (except the extension)
  
  
• Start game of EZ Flash, it should load your save game
  
  
• Again, I immediately saved in game, just to be sure
