Homebrew It is possible to change the save file direction of GBA injected games to have them in the SD card?

Injectings GBA games on 3DS is the best way to play them on the console for basically perfect performance, but I wonder if its possible to actually change the save file direction so the save files could be saved on the SD card instead? Would make things a lot easier.

I'd assume if it was possible, there'd already be an easier way than injection and extraction with godmode9.

that said, on n3ds, retroarch gpsp is doing a pretty great job, now that it doesn't crash randomly anymore. only a few games with minor issues like graphic issues in golden sun.

there is an easier way. @TurdPooCharger has an app that allows batch injections. before, you could only inject one save at a time.

• mGBA emulator
  
• RetroArch (gpSP core)
• TWiLightMenu++ (GBARunner2)
  
• open_agb_firm
• GBAVCSM

Well, at least for now, this firmware method can do that you ask (and also, loads .gba files directly, without need of injection):

But, also for now, it has some problems with some savefile types.

GBAVCSM is what I'm thinking of. I can never remember the name of it. anyway, I did one at a time before that existed, and it was a pita, cuz you had to extract the save first before using agbsave.bin to inject another. it wasn't difficult but time-consuming.
