Until yesterday I have always followed these steps (underneath). And it works quite good. Only some times when I re-convert a NO$GBA SAV file to a GDS file (DS-Xploder) I get an error on my DS console that some data is damaged and that it will take the Save before this one.
I resolved this little problem just by saving 1 or 2 times more in NO$GBA so even when I get this error on my console I'm sure I still have a good save.
But now my question.
I have seen now that when you change
SAV/SNA File Format == Compressed
and change it to:
SAV/SNA File Format == Raw
my SAV file becomes 512KB and not anymore 521 KB. And I have seen also that I can open that SAV file immediately in Pokesav without using No$GBA > VBA Battery Converter.
Can somebody confirm me that this method is working ??
I will try today also this "new" method for me and I also try to reconvert this (512KB file instead of the "earlier" 521KB file) into a GDS file and maybe I will also be lucky this time not to have this "Data Damaged..." error on my console.
I use DS-Xploder for my savings fm cartridge to PC e fm PC (after playing some on the emulator and editing some with Pokesav) back to Cartridge.
Maybe somebody else have even better suggestions for me ??

1. Go to your NO$GBA BATTERY folder and copy your save file somewhere else in order to back it up in case you mess up.
2. Open NO$GBA.ini in notepad, scroll down to the line:
SAV/SNA File Format == Compressed
and change it to:
SAV/SNA File Format == Uncompressed
3. Open No$GBA (make sure your save type in NO$GBA is FLASH 512 kbytes) and continue your game. Save the game, and then quit NO$GBA. Check the size of your save file in the BATTERY folder. It should be over 500kb.
3. Use the follow program to convert your save file, it will remove the first 76 bytes of your save:
Freeware - No$GBA > VBA Battery Converter | KermEd@Gmail.com
To use it, click the "Configure" button and set the directory to where your new big save file is. In the empty text box named "New .sav File" enter a name for the new file you will make. Now select your Pokemon save and press convert file. It will create a new save file with the name you typed in.
4. Download the Pokemon save editor:

Open your new converted save file (the one you made in step 3) with it, and when you are done cheating your ass off, click save. Now take the new save file you just cheated with, and put it in your NO$GBA save folder. Now name it the same name of your original pokemon save, so that NO$GBA will load it when you play the game. That's all. Now I shall enjoy my 99 of every TM, and I had a sex change just for the hell of it.
Lastly, once you use your hacked save in NO$GBA and save, you will not be able to hack it again right away. Once you have used your hacked save in NO$GBA and saved, you must use the NO$GBA>VBA converter, then hack. |
