GBA Save Game Compatibility

RetroArch General
#1

Hi guys, while i suspect that I can get the same save files to work from one version of RetroArch to another (Say Android to PC), I tried to see if I could get the same save files to work on GBA-M. The end result was, I couldn’t. Given that I’m using the GBA-M core in RetroArch, I was a little surprised that the save files didn’t work with the windows version of GBA-M. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Saving tends do be broken on most GBA emulators out there, sadly.

You can convert them with gbaconv by dragging your save onto it and it should be converted into a sav/srm file.

I’ve compiled it myself a while ago (Win64 only): Link

Be sure backup your saves beforehand.
