Example: the M3i Zero use a RAW 512KB save file, but some games need a 1MB save file. If you find any errors in suppoted save formats, please report them to admin@uniquegeeks.net. GBA Save conversion comming soon, If you wish to speed the process of GBA Conversion, email your GBA Save files to admin@unquegeeks.net v1.9: Added beta Action Replay DS MAX file support, and ability to save game names if there is an NDS ROM with the same filename as the save, and ability to send me the game names to go in a future database v1.8 Delta: Fixed a small bug v1.8 Gamma: Because I forgot to add a crucial file in the beta, and because I have been slightly modifing it, here is a new version. v1.8 Beta: Because of so many problems in 1.8 Alpha that are fixed in the Beta, the feature described in Alpha's changelog is being postponed. v1.8 Alpha: Allowed size change of any format (very helpful for Action Replay saves); Started Working on a system to automatically load the Game name if a rom with the same name exists in the same directory. This feature will be visible during the Beta version. v1.7: Added RAW 1MB support v1.6.1: Fixed crashing when converting from ARDS ME/ARDSi format v1.6: Major Updates -Removed Plugin system, can no longer create custom plugins to extend functionability, but now works faster. Data folder no longer needed. -Fixed bug showing conversion complete message twice -Added beta auto-detect size, as well as 128KB RAW size. -Added extended support for Action Replay DSi/ME, being able to enter game info (Credit to Matt140 for writing the conversion tool, to evandixon only for packaging it within this program) V1.5.2: Raw Save to DeSmuME conversion works now. V1.5.1: Fixed bug in G6 DS Real / M3 DS Real (*.0) support V1.5: Fixed potentially fatal error, packaged with support for G6 DS Real / M3 DS Real (*.0) V1.4: Modified program to add save file formats from the list files, AND search the relative dorectory for them. I also packaged support for DeSmuME *.dsv files. Credit to Inferno™ for providing Save File V1.3 - Many new fixes: Now Easier for others to add on to, it now converts all saves to raw, THEN to the format specified by the user. It also has separate files containing a list of formats, so I can now control the display order on the form. I also packaged the newest version of the ARDSMEDUC-SAV program. V1.1 - Only updated bug in program that allows repeated Save Formats ---------------------- Download Mirror 1 Another Mirror is attached Offline NDS Save .zip Edited July 24, 2011 by evandixon
Inferno™ Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 i wanted know if you planning to add no$gba, because if you are the only thing no$gba does to the .sav files is add 76 characters beginning of the file which is useless. i also think that your program should make a backup of the save files just in case, because people can start bitching once they files mess up.

Thank you for requesting that, I now plan on adding that. Currently, I am trying to simplify the conversion procedure, and also provide R4 support. What I would like people to do is request support for different save file types, so I know they are needed. For all I know, no one has an M3 *.0 save file.
Jiggy-Ninja Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 ii also think that your program should make a backup of the save files just in case, because people can start bitching once they files mess up. People can easily make their own backups by copying the original file.
Inferno™ Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 People can easily make their own backups by copying the original file. sometimes people are forgetful and lazy.
evandixon Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 sometimes people are forgetful and lazy. Then they would be too forgetful and lazy to complain to me about corrupt saves if they didn't back them up...
damio Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 For all I know, no one has an M3 *.0 save file. If you want to add it, all you need to do is rename the *.sav file as *.0 It is the same as a 512kB Raw save file, just a different extension.
Inferno™ Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 i dont know why but the new DeSmuME has a new save format, ive never understood why people like making things hard for one another. for this the last 122 characters is useless and the extension is .dsv.

If you can, upload a save file from that emulator, so I can research it, and get specs for it.
bear831 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 This update is great I hope you continue to work on this program.
evandixon Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 I am. Right now, I am working on a Command-line app that will convert DeSmuME *.dsv saves to raw *.sav saves, that will work with this program.
evandixon Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 Updated to V1.4 V1.4: Modified program to add save file formats from the list files, AND search the relative dorectory for them. I also packaged support for DeSmuME *.dsv files. Credit to Inferno™ for providing Save File
Inferno™ Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 you did great bro, ill test this and get back to you with the DeSmuME saves.
frost.wing Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 i can't convert my file from nogba to desume, it's an error when convert????
evandixon Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 Post the saves here so I can see what's wrong.
evilbum Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Hey i tried to convert my Save file from Pokemon heart gold on a m3ds Simply to the version for No$gba but what format does no$gba uses?:bidoof:
evandixon Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 I have no specific support for NO$GBA, but if you try "Acekard 2 | CycloDS | EDGE | M3 Simply | NinjaDS | R4 | Supercard CF | Supercard One | Supercard SD | Top Toy DS", it should work.
Psytrin Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Thank you. This should be very useful, since the new Pokesav came out, and only DeSmuME is working with my Soul Silver Rom.
Dash Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 holy hell man thjanks so much i love this it beats going to the site :-) and converting thanks thanks thanks!
Shinnosuke Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 hello.. I'm new here, I found this forum through google. I'm currently facing the same problems but from a different angle. You see, I started playing Ragnarok DS on the original NDSi player. Then as I start to have less free time, I searched for an NDS emulator. And I got the DeSmuME program. It works perfectly, except for one thing. I can't seem to get my original *.sav file to be loaded using DeSmuME. I've already downloaded the offline emulator (on the previous page), and tried to convert myself, but to no avail. Can anyone share a light on this? Would really mean a lot.. Thanks
MoonRays Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 You could import the .sav as a battery file. Load you rom, go to FILE in DeSmume than go to import and select Battery file than choose your .sav than restart the Emulator.
Shinnosuke Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I have tried doing so, yet it only made the original *.dsv file corrupted.. So actually if I want to spend time re-playing the whole game, the save game feature works fine. Sadly I don't have that luxury of time, that's why I'm trying to find a way to continue what I've played with the NDSi in my computer. Thanks anyway MoonRays!
Earthix Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Do you think you'll be including a way to convert a save file made by the game genie ds?
