Import 3DS Save Files to Switch

[sighburner]

Anyone know how to import my save files for Diamond and Soulsilver from my modded 3DS to my modded Switch. Using MelonDS to emulate but can’t figure out where to exactly put the save files for them to work. Both are 512 which look like the correct sizes. Anytime I load the games it just starts from the beginning.

save file is called "main" make sure you're not trying to port over a battery file.

There is no "Main" file thats connected to my Heart Gold game in my Switch. I've saved the game via MelonDS on my Switch.

Yeah I JUST watched an unrelated video how to use MelonDS and the guy did this exactly. Though for some reason, now I cant run MelonDS. I just get a black screen lmfao.I didnt change anything else, just added the savefiles.

Edit: My SD card was too full for some reason? I copied them out of my SD and tried to put them back but it didnt work lol.
Edit2: This didnt fix it. I get a black screen when I have 8 games + 8 saves...

Yes, I also have this problem with some saves, sometimes they work and sometimes not, I don´t know why, sorry.
You can try this save converter and find the right target format...

So the culprit was that the saves and nds files were named Pokémon instead of Pokemon. MelonDS doesnt like spécial characters.
