Wait wait, how does that work? And for which version? I have both no$gba v2.6a and 2.9b. I'm mentioning the versions, because they both have different header or something. I opened the save files with hex editor (same game, but different .sav files, since 2.6a and 2.9b doesn't transition well), and they had different header. Some forum says different things, so here's what I did:
I'm working with new game files, since if I can work that, then I can probably work with my other saved file.
2.6a
1. Opened no$gba.ini and changed the save type to "Raw".
2. Played a new game, and saved it after certain plot point.
3. Opened it with hex editor (HxD), and erased the first 76 characters, then saved it.
4. Opened it with VBA (v1.8.0). And nope. Didn't work.
2.9b
Same as above, and it did not work either.
What am I doing wrong?
Oh, and I tried with VBA-m as well.
