convert vba save file (sav) to citra save file (sav.dat)

[Kev-randar]

Can someone tell me if it is possible to pass my pokemon crystal vba emulator game to citra ?, and if possible in what way I would do it.

It's possible. Normally, if filesize is the same, renaming it to sav.dat and placing it in the folder would do.

if renaming didn't work, try this:

when I go from citra to vba it works, but from vba to citra I could not.

the application says that it serves to open files in pkhex, but I want to pass my crystal play of visual boy advance to citra.

probably changes in save file size. Check the save file size, (Citra and VBA), and do the appropriate edits using hex editor.
It's normally involving the last 2 lines of code when viewed in hex editor.

I have no idea how to use that tool, could you give me some guidance?.

ok, I used the hex editor adding a line of code at the end, and it worked, thanks: D

https://sav2vc.fm1337.com/ this tool should work if you don't want to bust out a hex editor.
