Hi I was wondering to how do you convert action replay and gameshark save files SC? If you know could you please tell me as soon as possible thank you. Or if you have any other site that have gba game saves in this type of file (.sav) could you please give it to me.

just run or load the gameshark or action replay save throught a regular gba emulator like, visualboy advance( its the import option on the file tab). then after loading the save, save the game the regular way in the game, not the instant save, the emulator will then create a file called <gbaromname>.SA1, just rename the SA1 extension to SAV and drag it in to your SD/Cf card.

P.S. make sure you have file extensions turn on.

This little tool will convert .DUC and .DST files to .SAV so that you can use them with your DS roms. Excellent when you have a original cart but no longer want to carry it with you, etc.

When you unzip the .EXE, just drag the save file to it, then rename the newly created file to whatever format you need to rename it (filename.ds.sav for my SuperCard).

Are you sure it works with .DST files? I tried one earlier and it didn't work. Well it patched just fine but didn't work.

Edit: Just checked out cory1492's site and it works with .duc and.dss, not dst

it works with .duc? because i've tried with a save that i downloaded from dualscene, which has a .duc extension but it doesn't work. the game i tried was 150 - Megaman Battle Network 5 Double Team DS.

open control panel. then open folder options( make sure your in classic view). under the view tab, look for a folder call hidden files and folders, last unclick(unselect) the hiden extension for known file types and click apply.

I've used .duc files just fine.

how? i tried with a .dss file and it worked. but when i try a .duc file (the mmbn5 save), renamed it to .sav, copy it to supercard and still it doesn't work. oh well, i don't need the save any longer, already reach halfway of the game.

Hy

I did all that you said but when I trie to do a regular save the visual boy advance doesnt create a SA1 file but a .sav file but the supercard wont use it when i put it on my cf.
Do i need a older version of the emulator or what?
please say what i did wrong
