Alright, so I started using Rudolph's amazing backup tool. I was able to successfully rip a save from a game of mine and play the ROM with it (after some conversion). But right now, I'm trying to test out restoring of saves. Here's what I've done so far.
I've started a new game on the R4 using a ROM. I played around a little, then left. I then took the .sav out, converted it using http://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php from R4 to RAW. This left me with an 8KB file. The actual save from the real game was 64KB. I tried restoring the ROM one to my actual game and it said it couldn't due to the size of the .sav being smaller than the game allowed.
I want to know what I'm doing wrong. Is it impossible to restore an actual game with a .sav made from the R4? If not, how do I convert it correctly?
