New problem: copy VBA save to SD.

I have a problem.

I want to copy a GBA sav file from one SD card to another.
But when I load the game on the second SD card, it starts a new game!

I've checked if the ROM and .SAV names were different, but they're the same.
I've saved using the L+R+A+Select method.

Also, the second SD card was sorted using FATsort, the first wasn't.
When I used Fatsort, the GBA saves were all suddently gone (the DS saves still worked), so I think FATsort's the problem.

Do you know anything about this problem?

Sorry if my English is bad, i'm Dutch... :)

EDIT:
Well, I've found the solution myself, when I want to copy the save file, I have to QPC save first, and then copy the sav file. It took a while to find out, and my poor little brother lost his Super Mario Advance 2 save :badgrin: , but it finally works.
But, who knows the answer to my problem in the post below???

Another problem :x

I want to load my VBA sav to the SC.
I save the game (in-game) in VBA, rename the .sa1 file to .sav, load the rom in the supercard software, choose 'enable save' and 'enable saver patch', and I load the .sav file with 'Import Saver from file'.

It outputs the game and an 8 kb .sav file. I copy these to my SD card.

When I start my game, it just creates a new game.

I tried formatting both SD cards, but no luck :cry: .

Please help!!!

Please!
I save in game.
Then I click: 'Export battery file'
I copy the 'export battery file' to my SD card.
When I start the game (pokemon fire red) it displays a message:
"The save file is deleted"
What am I doing wrong? :(

Saving on GBA Pokemon games is glitchy with supercard. Use real-time saves.

Well, normal (L+R+A+Select) saving works with my supercard, but I'd like to use a VisualBoy Advance save.
So, you can't use VBA save states with Supercard, am I right?

You are right indeed. At least, AFAIK that's not possible.
