Any GBA flash cart where the save files are MiSTer compatible?

Hey there,

I know the EverDrive GBA save files are not compatible with the GBA MiSTer core without any sort of conversion, but is there any other flash cart out there that would have compatible save files?

Cheers

Hi,
To convert save from Everdrive is quite simple most just need rename to sav extension to work.

FLA 65.6kb rename to sav works on GBA core
FLA 131kb rename to sav works on GBA core
srm - 32,8 kb rename to sav works on GBA core
EEP 8.2kb rename to sav works on GBA core

The only one doesn't work is :
EEP 512 bytes is not working

You might also try this site that worked well for me for converting some files.

Hmm, still kind of a pain knowing which game would work and which game wouldn't. I guess the better question I should have asked should have been, do any flash cart on the market stick with the .SAV extension only?

I already knew about this, but I wanted to avoid using a software, especially an online one.
