I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I noticed an option for export backup memory and import backup memory and figured it out.
What you have to do is make sure you can save the game in game ( I couldn't because I had just updated my emulator, and it had corrupted the save state). Once you have saved, export the backup memory. Then when you patch the game import the backup memory and continue. I tested this between multiple versions of the game to be sure, and it worked. It was the only way I could get my file to transfer. Also the name doesn't matter.
