(I posted this on the EZ-Flash forums but I have not gotten a solution yet).

The R button on my DS Lite is kinda sticky, so I used it as a good excuse to upgrade to a 3DS. However, my EZ-Flash V doesn't work on it, so I'm just going to finish the last game I have for the DS (Yoshi's Island DS) on my computer. (a friend lent me his gamepad) However when I copied the save file (uSD:/SAVES/Yoshi's Island.sav) to my computer and imported it using DeSmuME's File->Import Backup Memory Function, the save was not recognized and my save was not there. When I opened up the .dsv file in a hex editor, it was entirely blank (with the exception of the DeSmuME's save information and padding).

When I opened up the .sav file from the EZ-Flash in a hex editor, all I saw was this: http://i.imgur.com/u56ON.png That's repeated several times until the file just goes blank. My thinking here is that when I started the game the first time, the EZ-Flash created the blank save file on the uSD card and it's just been saving my game progress on it's internal memory?

I remember using Select+B to copy over save information on an EZ-Flash 4, is there anything like that for the V?

And/or what am I doing wrong on my computer side? Has anyone successfully copied over a save and played it on a computer?

Thanks!

Edit: Forgot to add I'm using 2.0 RC20 on the EZ-Flash V side and DeSmuME 0.9.7 x64 on the computer side.

Edit 2: The saves work fine in No$GBA, so I guess problem solved?

    People all have a hardon for Li-poly batteries that require so much additional electronics and equipment to charge, and even then they use fireproof bags to charge and store them in because they tend to go boom for no reason.

    @Veho,
    squishy lipos and knowing how to use standalone custom chargers, is NOT for your average Nerf herder brain to comprehend. Coming from 10th scale RCs - we know how to work em.

    Those disposable vapes are probably the safest option for nicotine replacement these days

    @realtimesave,
    but how do you know you're getting genuine ones?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not my thing, if they can't take repurposed laptop Li-ions then I'm not into them.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @Veho people already having R36S lithium batteries balloon on them.. that's what u get for a sub-$20 handheld game system I guess lol
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    @Veho,
    because MO POWA, less space, and tricky part is having a control board to monitor highs and lows, but MO POWA, less space, less weight

    @K3Nv3, I never stick with disposables anymore, not only you're paying more but you get about an hour or twos worth for half vape juice, and not even re-chargeable.
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    that does remind me to find my charger and service a couple RCs i have
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that makes a difference for R/C cars and drones but the few extra grams don't make a difference with foam shooters.
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    @K3Nv3 not wrong...
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like you won't be able to lift them if they weigh an extra ounce.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    They're worth it for people that don't sit there and chug down nicotine all day

    @Veho power does. that auto box WILL shoot harder and faster with more voltage
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    same w/ airsoft by MY GOD level
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Exactly.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    And you can get more voltage with more batteries in series.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Most don't vape over 4volts
  • Veho @ Veho:
    No need to go the explody route.
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    and more weight and potentially no space to store em in the body
