For people that own Action Replay DSI can now pokesav pokemon/events directly through the use of their sav file (requires .NET Framework 3.5) [Sadly not for HG/SS/B/W...]

As far as I know, Action Replays can't make backups of games newer than platinum... (heart gold, soul silver, and probably black and white)

I just tried backing up my SS save using ARDSi; after naming the save file it errored out. I'll post the error when I can get it to recognize the game card again.

The Action Replay can't back up HG/SS/Black/White, and it likely never will alone. You need something else:

Does the Action Replay have to have a Mirco SD Card slot in order for this to work? If it doesn't need to have a Micro SD Card slot, then how do you create a backup of your save file?

It needs to have a micro sd card slot.

For some reason, they've stopped making those.

Perhaps you'll find one on eBay or some other online store.

Unstickied because my other stickied thread links to this thread where applicable.
