[SOLVED?] (GBA Backup Tool deleted my save data somehow, so the issue is now irrelevant.)
Moving this from my thread in 3DS because I realized it fit here more, and nobody is paying attention to it anyways. Also edited it to clarify.
The exact problem
I am attempting to use GBA Backup Tool to extract the save file from a copy of Dynasty Warriors Advance. Everything works - the tool boots up, it recognizes the game, extracts the save, it creates the backup folder, it creates the file. The only problem is that the output .sav is completely blank - it's as if the game was booted for the first time.
The details
Using an R4i-SDHC 3DS RTS, I installed the GBA Backup Tool and attempted to back up my copy of Dynasty Warriors Advance. It recognized the game and succeeding in creating a backup .sav. I used the 3DS's GodMode9 to inject the .sav into a VC version of the game, and the injection was successful. I then boot up the game, and it acts as if it's the first time I played the game. To check, I put it in No$GBA (with the .sav in the battery file) to check, and the same result happens - I'm getting a full blank out of my save file, even after doing all the steps correctly. VBA-M and mGBA do the same thing.
I have an image of my DS recognizing the game and type of save file in post #3.
Can anyone help?
