Save/loading across emulators?

Rzeractor · June 30th, 2006

Hey hey. Basically I have a native save (and savestates) on Pokemon Leafgreen using no$gba. However Visual Boy Advance is obviously a better emulator - is there any way I can load the saves in VBA? Or will I have to start fresh?

Savestates can never be used in different emulators, they are very specific to each emulator (in fact, you'll often have trouble just going from one version of a given emu to a different version of the same emu). You might be able to use the battery (normal, in game save) save in VBA. To do so, copy it into VBA's saves folder or change VBA's settings to point to the folder where it already is. Once you do one of those things, it'll either work or not work. Period. If it doesn't work, then all you can do is start fresh.

(The battery file is the one with the ".sav" extension.)
