It’s done by xdelta, but plz don’t skip yet.

Basically I installed a gba cia by converting to virtual console by myself, but now, I wanna apply a fan patch which is done to the gba rom, and then I’d go on to covert it to cia

But I’m afraid my save data of the original game won’t be recognised by the fan patch since the cia is obv already installed, and I’d have to restart the whole game with the patch

Do I switch the save data for the later downloaded cia of the game with the patch with the original game’s if there’s a way?

Thanks :D

1. backup your save with CheckPoint
2. Patch your game or whatever, and reinstall it
3. restore your save with Checkpoint

I am pretty sure this will work, if you don't feel certain just make a copy of your save to put on a computer just in case.

Checkpoint backs up and restores save data for custom gba VC injects too? I didn’t know that

    I've been to his chicken restaurant he started in his 2nd movie, Holy Chicken, was pretty good. It is only 15-20 miles from me in Ohio. It only lasted 1 yr or so then closed tho.

    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
