Hacking Question About Saves

[veraci_00]

I'm trying to convert my gateway saves to cia, but I've encountered a problem. I updated to a9lh v.2, so my gateway cart no longer works with my system. because of this, I'm using my other system to dump and inject saves. however, my saves r coming up as corrupted. is there a reason for this? thanks!

Are you opening up the games on the target console to allow the game to set up the proper files?

yes. I'm creating the save file on the cia. every game I ripped that I own worked. it's an issue with ripping the save via gateway saves. those saves r on the root. the problem is that it doesn't work if creating the save, then importing. ...or the save (the ones I want) r corrupted.

You can use Gateway with a9lh v2 withpout problems, there is a little turorial here for that.
I used it also (and have the sdless version of a9lh, works perfectly)

And then, boot GW, load a game and use JKSM (cia-version) to export/import the saves (export from card, import to cia-version). Works perfectly here ^^.
