EZ Flash Omega - Help with LTTP/4S Downloaded Save

[PanchoCilantro]

I downloaded this 100% completed save file of A Link to the Past GBA. The file is in .SAV format already. I renamed it to exactly match the ROM file in my EZ Flash and I placed it in the SAVER folder. However, when I run the game it is not loading up with the 100% completion save file. Instead, the game simply loads with the 3 blank files to choose from as if the save file is completely being ignored. The only thing I can think of is that the 100% file is 64KB and I noticed that a normal save file for this game would populate as an 8KB file in the SAVER folder when you create a new save file normally. I have tried loading the game with different save types such as Flash64 or SRAM. However, each time I do this and start the game up a I get a message on the screen where you pick a save file to load and play. The message states that each of the 3 files have been corrupted.

Something about this game's pre-completed save files seems to trip up a lot of emulators and flash carts. I no longer have access to the tools I used to perform the fix initially, nor do I remember the exact process (pretty sure I got "bits" and "bytes" confused at some point), so hopefully the files I uploaded will work for you.

You truly are the man, Dan. I appreciate it.

Before thanking me, please let me know if it ends up working or not. I found the old Perl script and could potentially re-do the conversion process if need be. Should be as simple as installing Perl, running the script, manually trimming it down to exactly 8KB in size, and that's it. Assuming my memory is correct.

The Perl script can be found at this archived page:

Yes, the files you uploaded worked perfectly.

Awesome, thank you for the follow-up. I was never quite 100% sure until your confirmation here.
