Importing .sav files into BizHawk? #3142

Open cursedgerbil opened 2 years ago

cursedgerbil commented 2 years ago

I've looked around but haven't been able to find an answer. Can I import .sav files into BizHawk to load save files, and if so, how?

YoshiRulz commented 2 years ago

Which emulator are you trying to import from, and for what console? The feature request for a SaveRAM importer is #1659, but in the meantime, you can probably do it manually.

I'm using a raw .sav file from playing a DS game on my modified 3DS.

CasualPokePlayer commented 2 years ago

It's very likely all you need to do is just change the extension.

cursedgerbil commented 2 years ago

I tried changing the file to a .SaveRAM file and placing it in BizHawk's NDS folder but this didn't seem to work - do I need to do something else?

CasualPokePlayer commented 2 years ago

As in the SaveRAM folder in the NDS folder? Did you make sure the save has the correct name (the generated saveram from simply opening up the game will have the name bizhawk expects).

I have this question as well: I have a SAV file of an NDS from running the ROM via a flashcart (an R4) on a real 3DS/NDS. What file extension do I change the SAV file to, and how do I load it into BizHawk?

ED: Specifically the game is Maestro! Jump in Music.

ED2: The file extension is .SAVERAM.

CasualPokePlayer commented 2 years ago

It just needs to be a .SaveRAM file in the NDS/SaveRAM folder using the correct name (you can just open the rom and flush saveram to find the correct names).
