No$gba savegame converter? Or Phoenix Wright savegame?

[Goldving]

Okay, so I was quite a ways into Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and I simply can't make myself do all the chapters over again. Somehow my .SAV got corrupted or something, would somebody be willing to post theirs that has all the cases unlocked so I could continue where I left off? Or is there a converter out there that can correctly convert .duc to no$gba compatible .sav files?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Try it. I dont know if it will work. They said it work great.

Or you can try this:

G6 Save Converter -- google is your friend. :)

I'm well aware of Google's power. I've used both of those prior to posting this, as well as SaveConvert and an online converter. I'm inclined to believe No$gba uses a unique format for its saves because none of the SAVs mine converted to were compatible. They seem to be intended for various jump disks for DS. I spent about 45 minutes sifting through Google and was still unable to find a way to convert it correctly so I bugged you guys as a last resort. I know many people here have beat it so if one doesn't exist hopefully somebody will post their uploaded SAV file for me. :(

[RockmanForte]

try max2sc I gave it to you.

G6 Save Converter is very easy to find in the google.com but once you find it then you have to register the forum to download it. So, maybe you should try max2sc.zip now which I gave you a link.

I've already used both of those and some other ones I found. All of which make .SAV files just fine but no$gba doesn't recognize them therefore only giving me a "New Game" option when I load the game.

Edit: Yeah, I just found somebody else confirming my suspicion elsewhere on the forum.

No$gba isn't compatible with the standard save file format. It uses its own internal format for saving.

Therefore I'm in need of a .duc to no$gba .sav converter or somebody elses no$gba Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney .sav file.

Please, there's got to be somebody willing to upload their .SAV :(

This might be a bit too late, but I thought better late than never.

It seems to work for me: I had to do a bit of twiddling with Gamefaqs.com's Action Replay save files.

[jbernoski]

Does that just go in the folder with no$, or what? I'm having problems with saving also, so I'd appreciate some help.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

No it goes in the battey folder in your no$gba folder.

[dooz]

That .sav file won't load in no$gba 2.5, just so you guys know. I didn't test in other versions, though.

[berke]

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Phoenix Wright uses FLASH 512KBytes as its backup media, so you have to make sure you change this before you can use the sav file.

Go to Options>Emulation Setup
Change "NDS Cartridge Backup Media" to FLASH 512KBytes.
Press OK.
Go to Options>Save Options

Next:
Unzip the sav file to your BATTERY folder
Rename it so that it has the same name as your rom, but with the .sav extension
Run Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

[dooz]

I did. It didn't work.

And the picture is after I reset.

[berke]

It's FLASH 512KBytes, not FRAM 32KBytes.

[dooz]

I honestly have no idea how I could be that stupid.

I call shenannigans!

Sorry about that.

[RockmanForte]

It's flash 512kbytes and EEPROM 64kbytes as well. I prefer 64kbytes. :)

[jbernoski]

512, and that save worked beautifully. Thanks. I had played through that first chapter twice already. First play through I crashed, and the second I discovered the save problem. Thanks everyone for your help.

[RockmanForte]

64 here and that save worked beautifully too.

I went to site that telsl every save sizes and correct save types. That's how I am using them and also the math for those save sizes if I have to. I prefer 64 here following save size and correct save type, anyway. :P

[Naruhodou]

Am using No$GBA 2.4a, so how to save PW AA and be able to load from the same save state? I tried the above suggestions but they didn't work....

[sigmax]

Am using No$GBA 2.4a, so how to save PW AA and be able to load from the same save state? I tried the above suggestions but they didn't work....

save state can't be use on no$gba only save inagame use EEPROM 64kbytes and press start during a case to save :p

anyway update to 2.4f or 2.5(slow on some pcs)

[Naruhodou]

I can't find any star in the emu.... what star? :hdbash:save state can't be use on no$gba only save inagame use EEPROM 64kbytes and press star during a case to save :p

anyway update to 2.4f or 2.5(slow on some pcs)

[sigmax]

sorry i mean start :lol:

[Naruhodou]

Thanks. Anyway is there any additional features in those versions that come after No$GBA ver 2.4a?

read it here http://nocash.emubase.de/gbanew.htm ;)

[Naruhodou]

This game... how to save & resume playing it later?

[sigmax]

first select the language and you got to continue on the language you selected.

you can't load a spanish save on a italian language game

[Naruhodou]

I know. I played in Italian on my laptop, while my cousin played in English and tried to save the game so that it can be played in English later on but this is what appeared on the screen...first select the language and you got to continue on the language you selected.

you can't load a spanish save on a italian languague game

[sigmax]

Have you set the save type to EEPROM 64kbits and save?

[Naruhodou]

You were saying that flash 512kbytes doesn't work? Somebody did mention that it works. And EEPROM 64kbytes doesn't work for the English one.

My bro is yelling at me now because my cousin is crying in frustration while I'm trying to calm them down........

[sigmax]

not on FWAA set to EEPROM 64kbyts :lol:

[Naruhodou]

Already set it to that type & the same thing happens againnot on FWAA set to EEPROM 64kbyts :lol:

[sigmax]

show me your config of no$gba?

[Naruhodou]

This is the config

[sigmax]

change the speed to realtime and try again:p

[Naruhodou]

Actually can you explain the process from the beginning? Because we can't understand the stepsMaxDrive Duo backup save to SuperCard CF/SD save format converter
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1 - get a save from Max Drive software
2 - using the latest Max Drive PC software, extract the save
3 - drag and drop the .duc or old format .dss file onto max2sc.exe
4 - the file that is dropped will be extracted and buffered to SC 256k save file
(this method should work to use with G6 as well)
5 - rename the save appropriately.


Code stripped from current PC util for ETool by request of a supercard user,
hope you enjoy ;)

As in converting which file.... rename the file as... etc? Thank you.

[sigmax]

i can't understand what do you want me to explain? that quote is from a SuperCard:lol: not a emulator

[Naruhodou]

:???: Quoted the instructions for save file conversion (like what the previous posts said in this thread). They said we MUST convert the file and put it in the BATTERY folder.......

wait wait wait:???: you want to play the game with normal save or convert the save with a tool (the save is for the (U) version and you have a (E) version):eyemove:

[Naruhodou]

My cousin plays the English version, 0909_-_Phoenix_Wright_Ace_Attorney_-_Justice_For_All_(EU).nds and I play 0926 - Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Justice For All (E).nds so does that indicate anything? I'm new in this NDS-emu thing

[sigmax]

909 is english french and german

926 is italian and spanish

that indicate that you can't use his save

anyway i just remenber that i finish that game a long time ago 926 on spanish

here is my save if you want it and is converted to no$gba remember eeprom 64kytes;)

only select Nuevo Juego :lol:

[Naruhodou]

Thanks for the file, I'll try it in about 2 day's time.

Then anyone can help my cousin with the English version?
I play in Italian

you're welcome

oh italian you got to select Nuova Partita:lol:(the word sound funny on spanish)

http://forums.ngemu.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=147442&stc=1&d=1192589359

about your cousin i think he need to go to gamefaqs maybe will find a save for that version;)

[Naruhodou]

It turned out that renaming the filename enables the Europian version's Save functioning. Thanks for the file again! My bro lost his words for thrashing me earlier (for introducing the emulator), and my cousin really love it.

Anyway you completed the game in Italian from what I get when I selected to continue the game from your SAV file (see attachment). Or was I mistaken?

Anyway why is it running slow on my mobo.. most of the time the speed is around 48% to 34%, making the sound choppy and the game finishes late. How should I counter the lagginess?

put the game on italian language and select Nuova Partita like i said before you will have all the 4 cases open from the begining :p

update no$gba to 2.4f version i think it run more smooth;)

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Opening the case file kills performance.

[Naruhodou]

I know because I've accessed ALL FOUR. Anyway I'm using No$GBA 2.5, not 2.4a anymore.... but it is still slow! :dead:

2.5 is very slow on some pcs you better try 2.4f :D

Have Fun

[Naruhodou]

I'm having trouble with this one now.... may I have another copy of the same file? Preferably you rename the zip file with another name... thanks.909 is english french and german

*Edited, no links to ROM sites*

[preetyforu]

Slapped together a quick tool after removing the other stuff I am working on in the PC side app of Etool, and came up with a small app that will extract Max Drive save files to be used on SuperCard CF/SD save or possibly even G6.

[Danzflor]

i just registered, and i got the solution to my frustration :D thx a lot!

[BeelzemontZero]

then congratz ^^

why not use auto

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

why not use auto

Auto Savetype Detection is only available in the 2.6a version of no$gba which is currently unavailable as Donations for it are down.
The current free version 2.6 still requires you to manually set the correct savetype.

[tachyon]

Thanks a lot for the Phoenix Wright save file. I lost mine after NOGBA gave some sort of microphone error.

[imdagiver]

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Phoenix Wright uses FLASH 512KBytes as its backup media, so you have to make sure you change this before you can use the sav file.

Go to Options>Emulation Setup
Change "NDS Cartridge Backup Media" to FLASH 512KBytes.
Press OK.
Go to Options>Save Options

Next:
Unzip the sav file to your BATTERY folder
Rename it so that it has the same name as your rom, but with the .sav extension
Run Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney



what do i rename the rom to and what's a ROM? i'm an idiot~

[Smilley]

The ROM is the image of the data present on the original game cartridge. In short, it's the 'game'. For DS games, it generally has the .nds extension.
You should name a ROM to not include too many special characters and to be relatively short.
Upon closing No$GBA, it automatically creates/updates a save-file of the same name as the ROM, but with the extension .sav in the Battery folder. If you want to rename your ROM and retain your savegame, you have to rename the save-file as well.

[theravenzone]

The exact same happened to me.

Thanks.

[Smilley]

"Microphone wave in error"? This error seems to be hardware-based and if updating the sound driver does not fix it, there is nothing you can do. Only effects games using the mic while it is plugged in, appearantly.

[theravenzone]

Hrm I searched this forum yesterday and found a thread about the "Microphone wave in error". Someone did say there that turning the compability mode of the no$gba to Windows 98 (and shutting of the advanced text thing) did solve the problem for him.

I tried it and it worked so far. I still restart the DS after each and every save just to make sure....
