gameboy virtual console save help

[the_otsutsuki]

hey all, i'm trying to find a way to convert my pokemon crystal save from my modded dsi to my modded 3ds. i know how to use godmode9 and all that stuff but the save file size on the 3ds is 128kb and the save file for my dsi is 33kb. is there a converter i can put it through that will work for me ?

EDIT- forgot to mention that this save file is for my gameboy color virtual console pokemon crystal

can’t you just put it in checkpoint on 3ds and restore it on there?

Use an emulator on pc, like virtual boy and load the save and then dump it later, maybe that will help you

i know how to use godmode9 and all that stuff

Do you? Godmode9 is only necessary for managing Game Boy advance saves. Did you use Godmode9 to get this 128kb file? Because then you might be working with the packaged save data

If you are trying to manipulate a virtual console save for a GBC game, you should be using Checkpoint or JKSM.

Are you going from DSi (emulator GBC save) to 3DS (GBC VC save)? Or the reverse?
What format the DSi save is in?

yes im going from my dsi gba runner save and trying to move it to my gbc vc save. the format for the dsi save is a .sav file and my 3ds save is a sav.dat

 

[Kwyjor]

my 3ds save is a sav.dat

So, is that the 128kb file you got with Godmode9, or is that a different file you got with Checkpoint?

(In any case, you are absolutely not the first person to try something like this and I'm sure you'll find some more information with some Googling.)
