How to transfer a Desmume save to DS cartridge by a Nintendo 3DS Hack

[MyGarEc]

Hello,

I actually play Pokemon Heartgold on a emulator and I would like to drop my emulator's save in my DS cartridge with my Nintendo 3DS Hack.

I don't know if it's possible, but if so, can you give me an explanation?


Thanks in advance,
MyGarEc.

Which emulator are you using?

Oh sorry, I have forget to say it... It's "Desmume"

All I know is that your save is in DeSmuME/"saves" or "batteries" depending on the version you're using

Thanks anyway for your help!

Desmume can export different types of saves, including ones used in cartridges/flash carts. You'll have to use a save manager like Checkpoint to then inject the save into the Pokemon game.

Could you be more specific please?

If I understood correctly, I install "Checkpoint.cia" with FBI in my Nintendo 3DS, I recover my Desmume's save but after what can I do?


However, the Desmume's save is in .dsv format? It's still good?

Use this site to convert the saves files.

In Desmume, go to File then Export Backup Memory. That will create a .sav file. Then use Checkpoint to inject.

Hi, i know I came in 2 yrs later. Does this still work with Pokémon Black and White (2). Will the cartridge get corrupted if I do this as well?

Should be able to do it but make sure the save format is correct in order for it to work on emulator and cart.

Unless it has been upgraded since the last time I used it Checkpoint doesn't do NDS save files only 3DS.
You would use TWLSaveTool to handle NDS saves on a 3DS. That is what I use.

Tried transferring my order of ecclesia save from drastic to cartridge but the drastic .sav is 8.12 kb and TWL gives an incorrect size error due to it being over 8.00kb

It was indeed upgraded some time ago.

I was going to suggest the aforementioned https://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php but it doesn't look like it has an option for DraStic saves. But there's probably another suitable conversion site out there if DraStic doesn't already have an export option similar to Desmume.
