Q: How do I convert my old M3 Real saves to be compatible with M3 Sakura? (Top)
A: If you were keeping up with the M3 Real TouchPod loader updates leading up to the release of M3 Sakura, this shouldn't be an issue. The later M3 Real TouchPod versions (v3.4 and up) started using the .sav format, which is the same format M3 Sakura uses. Older TouchPod loaders (v3.3 and older) used the .0 save format. If you're making the switch from an older M3 Real TouchPod loader to M3 Sakura, all you need to do is manually rename all of your "ROM_title.0" saves to "ROM_title.sav". There is no need for save converters, but you can also use Shuny's online save converter. If that doesn't work, another method (that takes much longer, but is guaranteed to work) is to use iSakuReal, which includes the latest M3 Real TouchPod loader. Load TouchPod by holding X while booting, load each ROM and save. This will create a .sav file that contains save data identical to the .0 file, but it will be compatible in M3 Sakura as well.
