New tool - XPS2SAV

scottlc · December 2nd, 2003

Here is a program that I made which converts XPS saves (Action Replay GBX/Gameshark) to SAV files (VisualBoy Advance).

EDIT: IMPORTANT - Previous version did not work correctly with all saves, this new version will.

Here is a screengrab.

wow. that looks really cool scott! keep it up!

scottlc · December 4th, 2003

Found a problem with it though. It didn't work with some saves I downloaded from the internet. Found the problem though.

EDIT: New updated version is uploaded.

scottlc · December 18th, 2003

So far XPS2SAV has 528 downloads. So as not to waste NGEmu's bandwidth, I've set up a temporary site on GeoCities. They have ads but 3GB/mo bandwidth is very good. Link's in my sig.

I been looking for a program like this for 10min i never thought it would have existed.

btw is there a version that does it the other way round?
sav to xps?

scottlc · January 3rd, 2004

Thanks for the kudos. A SAV2XPS program is in the works and should be released soon so watch this space.

scottlc · January 3rd, 2004

This is an experimental release of SAV2XPS, the reverse of XPS2SAV. It should work. Let me know if it does. This program needs to scan the ROM file.

Well i'm gonna test it now and i need to find a cc3260.dll to make it work i'll search google for it but i reckon thats one problem

chilly · January 3rd, 2004

cc3260.dll

Second problem

Can't find STLP45.dll

lol

scottlc · January 3rd, 2004

These EXEs shouldn't have any such dependencies. I compiled that with Borland C++ Builder today.

chilly · January 4th, 2004

I'm gonna download the program you used so i can test it.
(not saying i can modifiy it or anything coz i havn't tryed programing).
I was thinking of teaching myself anyway

Know any other useful programs like C++ stuff?

scottlc · January 13th, 2004

FYI, Borland C++ Builder is commercial software.

chilly · January 14th, 2004

Cheers i havn't had luck downloading C++ yet coz i got the Expansion pack by acciedent

Have you done any other types of emulation based programs?

siulmagic · January 27th, 2004

wave you fixd the sav2xps i need plz

siulmagic · January 27th, 2004

the sav2xps dosent work wats wrong? i need it desperetly

pagejs · March 31st, 2004

According to the error message I got, Fix line number 643 in your code, and we won't need STLP45.dll.
Besides, it says on borland.com that C++Builder has STL45.dll and when you make certain programs you need to distribute it.

Just to let you know.

pagejs · April 1st, 2004

Ok, I found STLP45.dll and SAV2XPS comes up! Yay!!!

But another problem: I tried making an XPS from a Super Mario Advance 4 sav file, but the Action Replay GBX software can't write it because "Game Save file is too large. File must be 64.1KB to import or write."

I go into the file made by sav2xps and find that it is double the size of the normal xps I saved from my cartridge. I tried deleting the extra data from it, but then Action Replay GBX says "Not a Game Save" when I try to import it.

Please fix this!

Thank you for making such great programs(XPS2SAV and SAV2XPS even though it doesn't work right)!

AdmiralJonB · April 2nd, 2004

any chance of a link to stlp45.dll?

EDIT: Never mind, I've found another way of doing this. In VBA, you can export a Gameshark Snapshot

EDIT 2: Then again, it looks like it's not working properly.
