So, I have an old powersaves backup for alpha sapphire that I'm trying to restore to a digital version using checkpoints. However i can't figure out how to get checkpoints to recognize the .bin file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Having trouble restoring save file.

Never had a Powersaves. My guess is that those saves are stored in some proprietary format, possibly encrypted. Commercial products tend to do such things…

Well prepared for some "I don't have […]"-reply:
Maybe somebody else knows more about this hardware and can tell you a direct way.
Try:
- Restore the save in question with Powersaves into the cartridge it came from
- Backup the cartridge save with Checkpoint
- And finally restore this decrypted backup to the digital version

its basically as you say. powersaves are a different save file system. They need to restore and decrypt it. and load it over.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
