I want to take this .duc Pokemon Save[2nd American save] and convert it to use on M3 Sakura.

I went to http://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php. Selected pokemon_diamond.duc

Selected Input as: Action Replay Max DS (.duc / .dss)

Selected Output as: G6 DS Real | M3 DS REAL (.0)

Then renamed pokemon_diamond.0 TO Pokémon Diamond.sav to work with Pokémon Diamond.nds

Put it on the card, game loads then the Professor asks me for my information as though no save is present.

M3 Sakura DOES NOT CREATE A SAVE FILE UPON LAUNCH, therefore I know it is loading my converted save.

[Hopefully]
Help please.

All i want to do is impress my friends with the save, not go online and ruin the game BTW.
=D

I think .0 format is not what you're looking for.. If I remember right, M3 Real one was a 512kb RAW .sav, or maybe it could be the Cyclo/R4/Acekart/M3 Simply save.

I'll try those and get back to you.

Forcing 512 KB RAW: didn't work
Cyclo/R4/Acekart/M3 Simply save: didn't work

Could it be the original .duc is messed up?

Could anyone provide a working conversion or similar file?

If you want to download a save, remember one thing :

Gamefaqs = Fail.

As you can see, your save's size is 8.5Kb. A real save of Pokemon Diamond is 512kb ... See the problem ?

Let's check your save with an hexadecimal editor :

Pokemon diamond (...) elite four , 3 shinys (...) elite 4 finished, 3 pokemon shiny in box 2 (...) castlevania (...) respaldo 1 (...) priemer respaldo

Wait ... what ? Castlevania ?

A Castlevania save is +- 8kb. So this is definitively a Castlevania save and AFAIK there's no converter that can convert a Castlevania save to a Pokemon one

Well:
2 MB: Doesn't work (NO Start)
4 MB: Doesn't work (Professor Asks For Info Still)

So 512KB is the save file type, but the sve isn't being converted correctly.

As Shuny said earlier the save you downloaded is a Castlevania save, go download a Pokemon save

It says Pokemon Diamond at the top.

Fucking Gamefaqs. Maybe if i check under Castlevania...

So anyone have a PokEmon save then? =D

I personally just convert my .duc files into .sav (Acekard 2 | CycloDS | EDGE | M3 Simply | NinjaDS | R4 | Supercard CF | Supercard One | Supercard SD | Top Toy DS kind) and it works perfectly

I've test the save and its Castlevania DoS save.
Save data:
[1] Wizardly Lab
lvl 10, 12.0%
Time 00:33:02
Gold 2681
[2] Demon Guest House
lvl 24, 29.1%
Time: 04:09:09
Gold 22580

Try looking here for a Pokemon save

Thanks for all the help guys.

There are like 30 Pokemon saves in that database, could you recommended the best one?

remember when converting saves the end result .SAV MUST BE THE EXACT SAME NAME as the GAME NAME!

eg GAME1.NDS & GAME1.SAV or the game will NOT see it!
