Hacking Convertinf .sa1 into .sav?

[geminisama]

Hey guys. I just got my M3 Real Bundle today, and I put Mother 3 on it. I have been playing it on emulator, and I don't want to start over again. Is there a way to convert the .sa1 into a .sav file that works? I tried simply renaming, but no good there.


Thanks in advance.

Would .sa1 be a save state rather than a regular game save file?

I don't think it would be, as I only use ingame saving. But I just loaded Mother again, and now it recognizes the save. Weird..but this can be closed now.

Hmm, I'm having issues again. My save randomly disappeared, so I reverted to the original save file for this game. But now it won't recognize my .sa1 renamed .sav, at all. I tried loading atleast 10 times. So I'm asking again... is there anyway to convert a .sa1 into .sav, or some other method to fix this?

Sorry for the double post, too.

Thanks alot bro, that counts as my first birthday present. XD

Edit: Ehh, this does me no good. This turns .sav/.dat files into .0, or .is0. I need to turn the .sa1 from VGBALINK, into a working .sav that my GBA expansion recognizes.

Edit 2: Once again, it has been fixed. This time I had to rename the Mother 3.sa1 into Mother 3.sav. I then got normal VBA, loaded the game, and saved, so it was a "new" .sav, as opposed to renamed .sa1. I then put it on my cart, patched it, and it's fixed.
