Hey guys,

I was hoping someone could help me get started in this game.

I have a PAL new 3DS and a Gateway card with Shin Megami Tensei Apocalypse (NTSC) on it.
I also have a NTSC copy of Shin Megami Tensei VI and I would like to import its save data into Apocalypse.

When I try to import my save data, I'm presented the following error message:
The Shin Megami Tensei IV game Card has not been inserted properly.

If I had to take a guess, I'm assuming my PAL region new 3DS doesn't want to read the save file from a NTSC game card.

Its been a while since my last visit here so I'm likely out of date, but I think the solution is to:
  1. Backup my save from my game cart
  2. Convert the save file to PAL, and then save it in my SD Card in a matter that Apocalypse will read it. (Apocalypse can read from SD card or gateway)
  3. Use a PAL version of Apocalypse to import my save file.
I'm currently stuck on Step 2:

I used the Gateway card to backup my save file as a AMXE.SAV, but how do I convert it into something Apocalypse will read?

Save File: https://anonfile.com/61Cbn3cbb5/AMXE.SAV

I tried using SaveDataFiller but it doesn't detect the game cart.

I'm following this thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/smtiv-cart-save-to-smtiv-apocalypse-cia-gateway.441872/
but it doesn't go into detail on how to do this
