Using SCLite saves on my SCDS1.

Is there anything special I need to do? I've been using SCLite for a loong time now, but I finfally broke down and bought some Toshiba SD-C01G microSD's, and wow they smoke the Sandisk UltraII. SO I'm happy with the SCDS1 now, but I want to migrate my SCLite saves over for several games. I already noticed that the sav filesize for MKDS in SCLite is 256kn but in SCDS1 its 512kb. Do I need to use a converter, or just rename?

edit: BTW I know this is a "six month ago" kinda question but my SCDS collected dust for months b/c my microsd wasn't fast enough. Anyway, I've got the 1.01 FW update accomplished and the new SP4 loaded, so I'm ready to rock. Games, mp3, and dpg tested ... I just need to get my old saves on there correctly.

You should be able to just copy them over, making sure they are named exactly the same as the DS roms.

Unfortunately that does not seem to work most of the time. ACWW worked, but MKDS and Yoshi's Island did not. Looks like I've got to keep trudging on with the SCLite for some games, or else figure out how to make this work.

edit: what I figured out after some more testing is that it does seem to work across the board, but only if the microSD in the SCDS1 is formatted in FAT16. Some worked with FAT32, some didn't. No idea why.

when i migrated over to the scdsone from my sccf one of my saves would not move over out of the six i had on my card
so i just got the scdsone to make a save of the game then copyed the new name to the old save & it worked e.g 1016-P~1.SAV
