Hacking Save files not working

[blubernugets]

Ok, earlier today, I switched from _ak2 to AKAIO(VERY LATE, I know. >_>). So I has happily laying my Pokemon Platinum till I decided to switch games - and found that my only option was "New Game" for every single game I had except for Platinum.

Could someone help me with this? I understand I'm very inexperienced and somewhat noobish, but I kinda need help.

Why are my games' save files all gone? And why is Platinum the only game that still kept it?

Thanks.

You just need to rename the file extensions, that's all. Official uses .nds.sav while AKAIO uses (by default) .sav

Try this http://filetrip.net/f11163-AKAIO-Wood-R4-S...anager-1-3.html

Odd. I ran the file and it said it completed it successfully, but nothing was renamed.

Gimme a sec and i'll give you another one.

Use this one http://www.themolehole.eclipse.co.uk/renamesavx.zip

This one needs to be extracted to teh root directory of your MicroSD card, then double click on the renamesav. They are both simple batch files, with the other one I tried to be clever and get it to scan all drives for a akmenu4.nds or _ds_menu.dat and then select that drive. Both work fine on mine, so i've no idea what the issue is.

If you knew how technologically challenged I am, you would kill yourself. I have no idea how this thing works, or why the file names aren't changing.

Nevermind.
