NDS Save File Converter [v2.5: Updated 7/24/2011]

[ArtisanSilver]

So I extracted the file for the converter but when I click the app afterwards it straight up doesn't appear. Help?

[GreenBanana]

Could anyone please provide a live video tutorial of them converting my SaGa 3 NDS save from SuperCard DSTWO format to DeSmuMe format, with verification before and after of the save working and retaining the data?

We only talk Pokémon, not other games.

Also importing correctly sized SAV into Desmume is easy:
Once your game loads,

 

That's all you need.

Won't be entertaining your non-Pokemon game any further, nor giving you a video.

 

Edit: I'm genuinely hoping it was a misclick on your part. Reporting my reply won't do you any good :3

Can anyone help me with the save files here? I tried to use the converter to convert my .SAV to a .dsv . Can anyone convert my save file for me? would be helpful. thanks in advance.

If y'all want anything in return, just use my  save file. It has all the pseudo-legendary pokemon found in the game.

read my previous reply, but instead of import, export.

.SAV to .dsv, not .dsv to .SAV

 

Now my desmume says Can't Import Save File

sorry, if sav to dsv, then my import message was correct.

If Desmume now isn't willing to import, it's likely not a proper sav to begin with.

edit: looking at the hex of your file, it's not a proper .sav

 

It should not be looking like that. Maybe your nocash settings is incorrect.

Does this work? I've used it on DeSmuME, but it still doesn't work.

It  always starts a new game.

Still not a proper save.

Download the program HxD, then drag the file into HxD, and you can see for yourself if the file is valid.

Your nocash setting is probably wrong.

edit:
Make a save state in NoCash, the close the emu,
and making this change in the .ini using notepad.

[K-7]

But then why does it work on NO$GBA then?

Setting difference. Just because a file is named .SAV, doesn't mean it's compatible for import normally. For example, this file won't work for PKHeX too.

Read my edit above regarding how to resolve it.

[K-7]

sorry if i'm acting dumb, but there isn't a save state option for me.

edit: nvm found it

Granted, I may be using a different version from you, but the option should be there.

Try right clicking on the screen, see if a menu shows up.

[K-7]

why does it look like this now?

the file extension says .sna not .ini

you were suppose to load your NO$GBA.INI, not the .SAV, into notepad...

You're jumping the gun here. Was one of the steps I listed try importing into Desmume after the edit?

Let's do this step by step. Did you edit the .ini file as I told you to?

[K-7]

yes i did

Okay. Now, do either (a) or (b).

a) Try to load your game in NoCash, continue the game, then save the game twice.
b) Try to load your game in nocash, and if Nocash restarts the game (no save found or corrupted save), load the save state, continue the game, then save the game twice.

Once that is done, close the emu, and report back. Then send over the .SAV

[K-7]

I did open it in NO$GBA, but saved only once. Is that ok?

Send over the save, and we'll find out.

Yup this looks better. PKHeX can open this. Desmume should be able to import this too :3

[K-7]

desmume still shows the same error.

Is there something wrong with your Desmume settings, or did you load the wrong file.

The new file is definitely correct. See, I loaded it.

Are you absolutely sure you attempted to import the right file?
