Forgive me if i'm posting this in the wrong section.

So i played a bit of Castlevania dawn of sorrow on the No$GBA emulator via PC. Had a little fun used a cheat or two, wanted to go & use that save on my 3DS via TWLoader.
I figured i'd just drag & drop the .sav file into my rom area on the SD card for TWLoader. That doesn't seem to work tho so i was wondering if it's even possible or am i doing it wrong.

All help is appreciated

I seemed to get it to work!

I trashed No$GBA & used DeSmuME instead. Saved & grabbed that file, renaming the .dsv to .sav & it works on my 3DS now!
So for the future if anyone else runs into this too. Don't use No$GBA.

there might be a save converter somewhere that can convert your save, you could google nds save converter

It's actually because of how No$GBA treats saves (you can change the save type in the options though). No need to use DeSmuME, just use No$GBA with the same setting as that the DS uses.

That's exactly what i was doing! Maybe i was doing it wrong, picking the wrong options but when i grabbed the save file from the other emulator, changed the format & put it on my 3DS. It worked 1st time, compared to the No$GBA way which i've been trying since last night.

@ThoD
I wasn't aware of that! I will keep that in mind then. Thank you.

Visit here for convert any save games between No$gba and real DS!

http://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php

That's exactly what i was using! Although i think i was choosing the wrong format to convert it to.
Since i was at it for like an hour last night from no$gba to my 3ds but i winded up using another emulator & it worked 1st try.
Thank you tho! Now i need to have a mod close this.

    It just does the same formula south park can press buttons without going overboard

    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation
