Homebrew DeSmuME and save files help

[xshinox]

so yeah, how do you use the save files from flash carts on this emulator? i tried changing the .sav to .dsv but nothing

Use the Shunyweb or UniqueGeeks save converter. Either convert directly to DeSmuME savetype, or convert to RAW and then change the extension of that .sav to .dsv.

Once converted do ensure that your savefile has the same filename as your ROM (except for the extension of course), and that your save is inside the folder specified in Config -> Path Settings -> SaveRam under DeSmuME.

i have tried using both converts including the offline converter but the game keeps initializing the save data. i guess it doesn't work or something

For short tutorial:-

1. Open games ROM and press PAUSE key.

2. Open FILE and select IMPORT BACKUP MEMORY.

3. Go to directory or drive when you have SAV file from any sources.

4. Click OK and finally press CTRL R for restart the games and continue your saved games.

5. For converting Desmume save file to SAV, open FILE menu and select EXPORT BACKUP MEMORY.

6. Change save type into No$gba and type any save name for you want. Choose any directory before press OK.

I hope your enjoy it!

1.Go to Shunyweb site posted above

2.Use the target format

Acekard RPG | EZFlash V | RAW Format [Autodetection] (.sav)

3.Then once the sav is converted and moved then open DeSmuME open the game you want then import backup memory and reset desmume and tada...

just tried. same thing, initializing save data. i guess it won't work for this game then

Guess not, it worked fine for joker 2 when I tried it awhile ago...

If it is a kind of protection, if you start new game and save in desmume, it will be deleted too.
Test should be done. Or there might be some result on the Internet
