They are stored in the same directory. Make sure the save files match in size (from the emulator you exported from, and mgba). Start a game on the emulator and save it to compare the size of the files.
Also make sure they are named exactly the same. I play Pokemon Glazed and the save/ROM are in SD:/mGBA and named as:
"pokemon-glazed-7b.gba"
"pokemon-glazed-7b.sav"
The save files isn't matching in size. My Super Mario World in mGBA is 8KB whereas the one from VBA is 64KB. Do you know how to make the save file the same size?
You mean in VBA or mGBA? VBA save file is larger than mGBA and there is no larger save file setting in mGBA. I realized even after generating sav file from mGBA, restarting the game doesnt let me continue with the sav, like as if the game was not saved at all. Is it something to do with the game (Super Mario World)? Other games work fine (VBA sav even works).
In VBA, change the save settings.

I doubt it, that's pretty odd if it won't read the save it JUST created. Do you have both saves in the same directory? Because it might be trying to read the bad one first, and can't so it just starts a new game. I assume you're using an O3DS?
I deleted all the sav and started the game in mGBA. The 6KB sav was generated. When I restarted the game, it started out like a new game like as if no sav was found.
I tried all settings in VBA but the sav file is still 64KB...
Delete ALL the saved from your mGBA folder and try to start a new game again, then save.... If it doesn't read it then seems like something might be wrong with mGBA. Was your 8kb save working before? That seems really tiny to me.
Yes I deleted all the save from the mGBA folder... regenerate the save by saving in Super Mario World... reset and start a new game... no sav found! My 8KB save was nv working...
I tried it and it works fine on VBA and mGBA and the save I uploaded works fine. Send me yours and I'll fix it for you

This is my save:I tried it and it works fine on VBA and mGBA and the save I uploaded works fine. Send me yours and I'll fix it for you
I will try yours.

Hmmm your save doesn't work too. Is it my rom? May I know where you got yours?
Really that's odd, because it works 100% in my mGBA. Let me try yours
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
You're playing Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World right? Lol. That save you uploaded is blank *it's also 64kb so it should be read by mGBA*
And oh yeah, I can't give you the name of the actual warez site it's against the rules but you could definitely try downloading the ROM from somewhere else.

That is right. The save I uploaded is blank? It is supposed to be a completed game save file which is from my VBA emulator. Putting it into mGBA doesnt work...
Yeah I loaded your save in VBA and it has no save file for Super Mario World. They are all new games. Did you maybe send the blank one made from mGBA by mistake? I'm assuming you did since you said (and I confirmed) that VBA creates 8kb saves for that game, not 64kb. The one with your completed game should be 8kb if it's exported from VBA.
Whats the exact directory? I'm having an issue finding where to transfer a save to because I just can't find the path to follow to get to the save files.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
