Hacking G6 save converter

[outphase]

I keep getting this error "index was outside the bounds of the array" what does it mean?


I assume you're trying to convert sps saves. My algorithm of save detection wasn't as solid as I thought it was with gba sps saves. I have to go back and look deeper into it.

What about Gameshark (DS) saves? I don't think there is anything out there yet to convert Gameshark saves to G6 saves. Gameshark has better support than Action Replay too.

I don't think I've ever seen a GameShark DS save. All the saves I've seen on GameFAQs were DSTs or DUCs.

Yes, I was trying to do a sps gba save.

I don't think I've ever seen a GameShark DS save. All the saves I've seen on GameFAQs were DSTs or DUCs.

Here is a link to the GameShark DS Saves

They are in format gds.dat

you guys sure this works? I tried converting an Animal Crossing Wild World .gds to 0 file for g6 lite and then I tried it form .gds to .sav for supercard but none of them worked. I just showed to start a new game. Am I doing something wrong?
Edit O yea I forgot when I convert a save I usualy get an error of osme sort with DS games.
O wait I tried a GBA save and it worked hmmm this is weird

 

[outphase]

i never programmed in .gds, sorry.

SPS wasn't as easy as I originally thought it was. I have to find a universal algorithm for SPS. It's taking me a while as I haven't had the time to do it as much as I did in the summer.

Great program. Just wondering, does it have any advantage over M3's built in 'Saver Manager' for converting .dat/.sav files? I have used it for transferring data back and forth between VBA (and transferring save data from Golden Sun to GS2) and it works perfectly. Of course, this program can handle more than just those types, so its very useful....

The original intent of the program was for me to use some .duc files from gamefaqs. M3 save files were simple enough to add in.

I'm new using your converter...i have a no$GBA pokemon diamond/pearl version and i want to open it in the VBA or BoycottAdvance. I don't know how to convert? The file name is lgc-pkmd.nds (reggie.SNA). I really want to play in the VBA cause it has a simple "save" option unlike to no$GBA. please help cause I want to play the game in VBA (if possible). Thanks!

To make things simple...I wan't to convert my no$GBA game pokemon diamond/pearl to VBA.

I just got my old Gameshark working and was able to pull my .SPS files off of my Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy games. So i have the .SPS files and i try converting them to .0 files for use with my M3DS Real and I end up getting this very messed up error:


"Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click
Continue, the application will ignore and attempt to continue. If
you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Inded was outside the bounds of the array."

Sorry for the slight fill, but any idea how to fix this?

Question, I have a G6 save file (*.0 and *.1) how do I convert those to *.sav? Or should I just rename the files?
Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks!
