I might be selling my dsx to try another device.  I like the dsx but the dsx team hasn't been releasing the developer info.  

This means I will need to transfer my saves.  Does anyone know how to modify the files if needed?

I only have a couple of saves.  If it requires a hex editor to change a file header I can do that.

See my post in this thread.

For your and everyone's convenience:

Uncompressing compressed DS-Xtreme .sav's is a matter of removing the first 24 bytes of the header using a tool like File Trimmer. If you then save the output file as a .gz file, or rename it to *.gz after the operation. You can then open the .gz with for example WinRar and extract the savegame. Rename it to <app>.sav/.0/.1/.2 and you can use it on your SC/G6 again, and other cards by using some converting app.

The info about the 24 byte headers and other DS-Xtreme .sav details come from kuhmist, as partially seen in this thread over at the DS-Xtreme Forums.

Sorry, I should have searched first.  Thanks for the info.  Hmmm, I think I will be selling my dsx then since I can transfer the saves.

That's pretty easy.  Trim the first 24 bytes and it is a gzip file.
