Just rename them to ____.sav (from ___.nds.sav, might not be necessary but that's what I did) and put them in your /SAVES folder on your microSD card. Make sure they're the same name as the ROMs (ie Mario Kart.nds need a save called Mario Kart.sav in the /SAVES folder to work properly) ...

SC saves work fine, I'm using all of mine in my EZV with no problems ...

I've tried that several times. But it won't work man. the EZV will just overwrite the SAV files with his own version, and give me blank data in game.

Further, another thing. Some games do not seem to work! I can't get Tetris DS going, and some other games too. Is this the EZV or me fuckin up?

Well, it's writing the saves from the save chip to the SD when you power up, so after you play your game, turn the DS off and then on again, THEN turn it off and remove the SD card. Kind of annoying, but that's the way it works ... :)

I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
I want to use  my Supercard savegames on my EZ Flash 5.

And that just won't work somehow  :cry:
and also, people told me about the GREAT compatiblity of the EZ5 , but alot of games seem to lock up on my system.

Someone please get me started on this shit!

I've been told by an EZV user that SC Lite saves work fine.  And since all SC saves are, to my knowledge, interchangeable, it would indicate that SC saves are all compatible with EZV saves.

Maybe you didn't understand the guy who just posted.  He recommended that you:

Put a rom on the SCMicro you're using with the EZV
Play that rom once to let the EZV generate its own save file
Overwrite the EZV's save file with your SC one

If this doesn't work... then I'll be pretty mad too, since I've ordered an EZV.

EZV's saves are persistent in EEPROM.  This means that no matter how many times you power-cycle after loading a game, that game's save will still be in EEPROM, and will still overwrite any save that you try to put on your microSD (of the same name).

You have to load some other game first, so that game's save is in EEPROM, and then copy your supercard save to your microSD.

Your lockup problems may be due to crappy microSD media.

Try patching with the Hybrid Patcher.  That is how I do all my games, and the performance is excellent.  

format your microSD to FAT, with 64k clusters.  

there are instructions on how to do this on the web, and even in these forums.  search for "FAT 64k" or something.
