So I want to move my GBA saves from my flashcart onto my computer to use with VBA (or vice versa. I just want to be able to switch off). I've looked around the net a bit, and people say that M3DS Real uses a .dat save file for GBA games. My GBA folder doesn't have that. It just has a .is0, .opt, and .sav. The .sav currently there does NOT work with VBA, and taking a VBA .sav and trying to use it on the M3DS Real doesn't work either.

So how do I make these compatible?

I don't know about converting M3DS Real GBA .sav files to VBA, but I know that it's possible to go from VBA to M3DS Real.

This may help, but I can't guarantee it anymore because I haven't tried it with the latest version of Sakura. It used to work with v1.34.

If you have any luck with this, let me know!

    Nah, a hit gives them mad meth powers, but makes them more difficult to control.
